Fourth of July

For the Fourth of July, we went out to our friends lake house.  The house is right on Lake Ontario.  We had so much fun and enjoyed every minute of it!  We played until we dropped on their boat, jet ski, and four wheeler.  

 This was so cute, they made a little train that attaches to the four wheeler.  The kids (and Paul) loved going for rides in it.

 Kenley and Hadley were our little dare devils.  They couldn't get enough of the jet ski!

Memorial Day Weekend

For Memorial Day Weekend, we met Paul's sister, Kathleen and her family in PA.  On Saturday, we went to Dutch Wonderland.  It is a little amusement park in the heart of Amish Country, perfect for the 10 and under crowd.  The kids loved it and loved being with their cousins.

On Sunday, we got up and went to the Crayola Factory.  That was a lot more fun than I thought it would be.  Lots of hands on stuff for the kids.  It was fun seeing how they make crayons and markers.

 Everybody getting a red crayon that we just saw get made.

 After the Crayola Factory, it was time for our train ride on the Strasburg Railroad!

 Had to sneak a picture of an Amish buggy!

Kenley Turns 3!

Kenley turned 3 on May 16.  We decided to celebrate it last Saturday.  We had never been to build a bear, and the kids always ask to go there, so we decided for Kenley's birthday, that's what we would do.  They had fun making their little (overpriced) stuffed animals.  Im so sad, I didn't have my camera with me there.  After build a bear, we went to ride the carousel that is at the mall.  The kids loved that, too!  Then we came home and Kenley opened her presents and we had cake.  I cant believe she is 3!  I have never had my youngest child be so old, its strange!  She is our little sassy pants and we are so happy she is all our's!

Hadley's Circus

Hadley's preschool had a little circus last night.  It was adorable!  Hadley was a tight rope walker.  She was so nervous the whole day.  She kept saying she was too embarassed to do it.  She was bribed with ice cream, so she decided she wasn't going to be embarassed anymore.  They did such a good job with it!  

Mason Got His Tiger

Mason has been in tiger scouts this school this year, and got his tiger award last week!  Im not really sure what it means, but we are sure proud of him.  He has loved going to cub scouts each week, and im afraid im in too deep, and he is going to want to continue doing it next year as well!  

               I gotta admit, im a sucker for a little man in uniform, aren't they just adorable?

                                  smooching on my tiger!

Yay Mason!  We are so proud of you and love you so much!

The Day's Visit

Paul's sister and her family had spring break last week, so they came up here to visit us.  We had so much fun (minus the meltdowns we had when it came time to go to school while our cousins got to stay home and play).  We went to the Whitmer Farm in Palmyra, Niagra Falls, which was freezing, and the ward Easter egg hunt! We always have so much fun with them and were sad to see them go!

 This is the only picture I got of Easter morning.
