Ants go Marching

Swimming at the Pool

Emily loves the water. I think that my kids would literally live at the pool if we could. It is so nice to have it so close, and a place to go for free. It sure makes for some enjoyable hot summer days.

Ali picked up swimming right where she left off last year, and I must say that she has even gotten better. She is so crazy and always making us laugh these days with her impersonations of people and things. The picture of her with her thumb on her mouth and pulling her ear is from Robin Hood. Matt has gotten the girls to like the movies that Matt watched when he was younger. Robin Hood is one, along with The Sword in the Stone.

Emily swims all over the big pool with her little chickadee vest on. She thinks that she is pretty good, and has no fear of the water at all.

Memorial Day Weekend

We had a pretty boring weekend. Matt had to work so it started out with me and the girls just goofing around and being lazy. Then on Monday Matt was off, so we had some fun with Mr. Cooper, Fritz and Brittany.

We went to the Duck Park in Layton.

Emily was so excited when she saw the park. She ran like crazy. She is so funny, she runs leaning forward slightly with her arms sticking out behind her.

The girls love hanging upside down on the monkay bars.

They also like to go really high on the swings. Emily is even loving under dogs.

Some sweet poses.

The girls and Cooper have so much fun together.

Ali found this lovely duck feather that she was so proud of. Unfortunately, I lost it later during the evening. Of course we went through a whole loaf of bread, and the girls were complaining that we did not have enough. Coopie had the right idea and brought four loaves.

Wheeler Farm

Last week was Ali's class field trip to Wheeler Farm. Matt, Emily and I got to go with her class, it was so much fun. The kids loved it.

Mrs. Wheeler, Ali's teacher is retiring this year so we tried to get lots of pictures of all the kids together for a book for her. I don't think that we ever got the whole class.

Emily was so brave, she touched most of the animals that we got to see. She loved the cute little baby pigs and the bunny. Ali looked like she was having fun on the wagon ride, but when she got back she said that it was so boring all she got to see were trees.

Mothers Day 2010

We had a wonderfull Mothers day this year. It was nice and low key, accompanied by a fabulous dinner and great laughs with some of our favorite people.

Charlie bit my finger - again !

The girls are obsessed with this video. They want to watch it all day, and they are starting to say it to each other. It is so funny because Emily can say it just like the boy. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Jaime's Baby Shower

The girls were so excited for Jaime's shower last weekend. They got all dolled up and were more than anxious to pose for some pictures. The were perfect girls and sat and watched Jaime open her presents like little ladies. They loved having Jake there to talk to and play with. They are now calling him a big "Jokster."

Being a Super Model!

Amanda, Colby and Pauline.

New Hair Cuts

A couple of weeks ago I took the girls to get their hair cut. The girl did a cute braid for their bangs and they loved it. It is their most requested hair do now.

Sweet "Stone Cold" Emily, trying not to smile for us.

Ali, all ready for the camera.

Lagoon Competition

On Saturday we got to spend the day at Lagoon for one of Ali's dance competitions. The girls had a blast and Emily was so brave, I hope the she continues to be brave throughout the summer.

Ali and her friend Hailee A. on The Jumping Dragon. This was their favorite ride. They went on in 3 times in a row, lets just say how nauseating this ride is. I goes around really fast like the music express, but I'd way even faster and then half way through the ride it switches directions and goes backwards. It really makes me want to vomit, so I am so glad that she is old enough to go on these kind of rides with her friends.

Emily on The Dragonfly for the first time. She cried the first three times around, and then she started laughing and told me that she loved it when she got off.

Emily and Emma on the baby boats. This is Emily's favorite ride.

First time Emily rode these airplanes without crying also. She had such a good time that day.

Em ready to ride the train.

Ali's feild trip to the Zoo

Friday was Ali's first Kindergarten feild trip. We all got to go to the Zoo for the day, well it only ended up to be 2 hours by the time the slow buses got their and when we had to get back to get loaded up on the bus. The kids had a great time, and Ali was so excited that we got to walk around with Lilly, Quintin and Isabella.

The sweet Gorilla, he kept picking his nose, but every time the camera flash light would start to shine he would immediately move his arm and stare at us.

Isabella, Quintin, Lilly and Ali

It was such a beautiful day. It was so much fun to be outside.

Ali monkeyin' around with the monkeys.

Of course the parkk was the highlight of the day.

Ali on the big elephant. She was so excited to sit on his trunk, and then after was so disapointed, I think that she must have thought he was going to take her on a ride or something.

We can't wait until the next feild trip. We will be off to Wheeler Farm.
