The First Campout

Tonight has been so much fun for our family.  The Boys decided to have a camp out in the backyard because they've missed Dad so much.  This mouth, Trevor has been on teaching service at the hospital and he has spent a lot of time away from the family.  At the first of the week, Caden asked me why his Daddy had to work so much.  I explained that people need help from Daddy and  in return, they pay him money which allows us to buy the things we need such as food, clothes, etc.  He then asked if we could save some money so his Daddy could have a few days off with them..  
Trevor started the night off my putting together a small fire and having the boys roast marshmallows to make smores. They loved it!  Then it was into warm pajamas and off to bed in the tent.

I am so grateful for a husband who works so hard to provide for his family in every aspect.

OSU Fans

Isn't she just the cutest OSU Cowboys fan you've ever seen?  The boys seem to think so.

I have bubbles on my face

The other day while I was clearing the dinner dishes I heard a small voice coming towards me: "My I have bubbles on my face." Only to turn around and see this. I couldn't help but laugh. Then I took him by the hand and led him back into my bathroom where I found that almost the entire bathroom was covered in bubbles.  Isn't it great to be a kid?

 

Chloe is sitting up

Chloe is sitting on her own now and loves to see what is going on around her.

Caden and Soccer

This was Caden's first year to play soccer and he loved it. He was on the cougars.  It was fun because they focused on a few skills but wanted the main goal to be the kids having fun and enjoying the game of soccer.  He received his first participation trophy and was so happy he had to give everyone on the way up to get the trophy a high five and then give everyone on the way down a high five.  I love his enthusiasm for life. 

Chloe is 4 1/2 months old.

I can't believe that she is already 4 1/2 months old.  She currently weighs 12 1/2 pounds and is 24 1/2 inches long.  She loves to smile, to coo, to suck her thumb, to play with her pink piggy.  She enjoys when you sing to her and loves to see everything that is going on.  She loves her Daddy, Mommy and Brothers.  It has been a joy to have her in our family.     

Sprinkler Fun

It was warm enough to get out the sprinkler and let the kids run through it.  I love this time of year and watching them enjoy being kids.  What a wonderful thing it is to have kids and to remember that the world is good and that life is worth living and enjoying.  I am so grateful to be a mother and be able to spend this time with my children.
