Bridger found a snake in our yard and Rilynn had fun watching it slither under the tramp.
Bridger did cry when we made him let it go, he wanted to keep it forever.
The kids found a toad in Grandma Smith's garden and had lots of fun playing with it. Bridger however wouldn't touch it. Go figure snakes but not toads?
Maclain was the keeper of the toad, he protected it from the other two who wanted to poke it to make it jump.
We recently finished our basement and we hired the best painters in town..... My parents and my sister came and helped me paint everyday, but all three kids helped too. Bridger was the funniest, he talked and talked the whole time things like I'm the best painter and I'm going to beat you grandma because I'm so fast maybe you should paint like me because I'm so good at this. on and on and on for hours he painted and talked.
Rilynn loves the peas Bridger planted, everytime she's in the backyard she is pickin peas.
This is a Sunday after church when they all went out to pick peas for dinner. We loved our peas.
Alex Happy Anniversary I love you and I can't wait to add many more to Nine.
In our house starting when you turn five, we have a friend party every other year. Maclain turned seven this year and he gave up his friend party if we would go camping. So of course we went camping. So for Memorial Day weekend we went up to Smith and Moore house. We had lots of fun, and Maclain thought it was so awsome to catch his first fish on his birthday. We relaxed, fished, had smores, road in the back of a truck, played in a little stream, fed some birds, watched chipmunks, and just plain had lots of fun. Happy Birthday Maclain.....where do the years go? I can't believe you are seven already.
I am the girls camp director and because Alex loves me so much he went to a park near our home and created an orienteering course for me to take the girls on. It turned out well, especially since the girls had about zero experience using a compass. While we arranged the course, and whie we had the activity our kids had loads of fun playing at a park they had never been to before.
Alex was gone to some training for two months, and the one thing our kids wanted to do as a family when he got home was go to the Air Force Museum. It's pretty sad we have never taken them before since it is free, and all of 5 minutes from our house. 
Maclain got the most our of seeing all of the different types of air craft. Bridger and Rilynn really like climbing over and around the ropes the best.
However they did enjoy the GIANT airplane tire.
