Happy 4th!

What a good week! Not in the weather sense. That was cold, wet and very cloudy. But we had fun. We took Evan mini-golfing and got ice cream almost daily.
The parade was alot of fun although the kids were so tired from fireworks the night before. Evan loved riding his bike in the parade and throwing out candy. Paige rode in her wagon half awake and hanging on to her bag of candy with all she had! She wasn't going to give anyone her candy:) Although we wished for better weather, it still was a great time with lots of memories!!
Such a lovely young man!

First hole in one!

Trouble!

Always a character!

She was so tired from the fireworks the night before..she crashed around 11:00 in the morning!

The Kornoelje Racing Team!

The coveted Trophy!

Evan's turtle

Monica brought home the trophy!!!

*sigh* It's Summer

Finally..some hot weather. We knew this year would be easier to gather up the kids and some food and head out on the boat. Paige is still difficult but if I stick close to her..she does just fine. We got to "Party Island" before the partiers and it was so relaxing!! Evan and Craig played frisbee and Paige and I dipped our feet in the water. I am not ready to go swimming just yet! Here are some pics of this past weekend....

Memorial Day

My little girl with a HUGE personality!

Aren't they cute?!?!

We had a fun filled, beautiful weather Memorial Weekend. This is the 3rd year in a row that was sunny and warm. The kids kept us busy but that's the way we like it.

Evan was busy catching caterpillars and playing with the crickets. He gave them names. His caterpillar was "Feepy" and his cricket..what else?? Jimminy! I was in the cottage and Evan didn't know I was there and I overheard him talking to "Feepy" Apparently he left him on the step while Evan used the bathroom and when he came back..Feepy was gone. This is what I heard from him

"Oh Feepy, where are you?" Oh Feepy, I should've been watching you!" I was laughing so hard. What a little sweetheart! He did find him and all was good after that.

Even my little girly girl was running around holding caterpillars with her big brother.

Looking forward to lots of good memories this summer!
