Lost Count of What Annual We are On


We love camping with our dear friends and this year's trip proved why we kept camping with toddlers - now everyone is out of diapers and no naps were taken!


Saturday morning breakfast entertainment (but it only lasted for 2 songs because we told them it was against the rules of camping). How many little faces around one tiny little phone! :)





The big girls were working hard during the weekend on their Fairy Village. It turned out really well and the details were sweet.



This boy didn't sit still much. He was riding, scooting, digging in the dirt. He loved every minute.



Saturday afternoon we went on the longest-two-mile-hike.  Ha! Even to the adults it felt like a really long 2 mile trail, but we survived!! Here are the eager hikers - we should have taken an after picture ;)





Who doesn't bring a ukulele camping?! We had musical accompaniment to our Sunday service. Then the older kids planned "Sunday School" in the back of the truck for the "preschool class".  Chloe and Leah taught a lesson on Noah's Ark. Avery and April prepared a snack.  There was even a bathroom break and a game!


We can't wait for the next annual trip! :)

Best camping trip yet!!! We loved every minute. Especially the minutes when I watched my kids go to the bath house by themselves.

Home Decorating

Every so often, I get the urge to re-decorate our entire house. Since that's not really a possibility, I usually just end up changing some pictures or decorations. I was inspired by this post (the blog was found on the side-bar of my cousin's blog ), I thought I'd make a 3-D wall hanging of my own: I might keep it, I might give it as a gift....not sure yet - but I like it! Our downstairs bathroom was in need of a little "perk-up" so I made two coordinating frames to lighten things up: Now this isn't really home decorating....but I'm still including it :) Chloe recently acquired some fancy 4th of July hair clips from Aunt Michelle/Grandma B. She needed the perfect dress to match those clips, so I found some fabric and made one! Check back at the beginning of July for pictures of Chloe wearing this dress! :) My need for creating might have been calmed by these projects...or maybe it's only encouraging me to do more!

Baby Pool

Want to guess when Baby #2 is going to arrive? Post a comment, or send me an email, with your guess and I'll add you in! As a review, here are the rules to the game (taken from Heather Deterding!): 1. Post your guess for the baby's arrival in the "comment" section. Be sure to specify both date and time of day -- either "am" or "pm". 2. Limit one guess per person, and only one entry per time slot-- no sharing! 3. Winner is determined based on time of birth. For example, if the baby is born on April 20th at 7 AM, a guess of "April 20th, AM" would be the winner. In the event that there is no entry for the correct arrival time, the next closest guess based on actual time of birth would win. 4. We will post entries on the Calendar above. Check prior entries before placing your guess! Dates not displayed on the calendar above are still up for grabs. 5. The winner will receive... bragging rights and a congratulatory post h...
