Fathers Day

We had a great day spending time together as a family, something that is really hard to come by considering it is summer and both of the Zach's are hardly ever home!  We went to breakfast at IHop and then Zach decided that he wanted to go do the Zip Lines at Fremont Street since it is something we have been wanting to do.  The girls were upset at first that it wasn't something they could do but they loved watching us go so it was fun for all of us.  It was pretty scary by the way, it just didn't feel like the harness was going to hold me up, it did,  but that didn't keep my legs from being super wobbly afterwards.  Zachary was scared the first time and then happy to again with Daddy and Zach said he wasn't scared at all which I kind of don't believe! Overall a great day with the whole family!

Summer Mornings

Who misses having to jump up and get 3 girls ready for school each morning?  Not me.  I miss the six hours that would come after all the morning hoopla but I do enjoy not having to be ready every day.  I think Natalie is really having fun with the girls staying home too.

Play Day

Thursday I decided that I would have have some of my friends bring their kids by for a play day at our house giving the Mom's a chance to run and errand or two without all their kids.  It was fun, we made mini pizzas for lunch and then the kids went crazy, watched a movie, played some hangman and ate cookies and ice cream.

For all the times I forget to bring the big camera!

Rebecca

A friend pointed out to me the other day that my little Rebecca has been looking much more grown up lately and I couldn't agree more.  I can especially tell in pictures I take of her, she is just looking older and also taking better pictures.

Summer Break Kickoff!

Ever since the weather got warm  three little girls begging to go swim at the M Resort.  I promised that on the last day of school we would finally go.  It was a really fun way to start the summer.  The kids swam and played their little hearts out while I got to relax and chat with my friend.  The highlight would probably be getting the kids Shirley temples to drink which they remembered their Aunt Lezlie getting them last year.  By the time we left my kids were exhausted and cranky but that is the plan this summer, to get them nice and tired so bedtime is a breeze.  Can't wait to head back!

Kindergarten Graduation

We survived and conquered Kindergarten.  Alexis and Rebecca have learned so much all year long thanks to their awesome teacher Ms. Mull.  The girls are already missing her and their class helper Mrs. Same.  They have been so good to my girls all year long they will surely be missed! 

Everyone there to support their sisters!

Adorable Alexis

Beautiful Becca

Celebrations included songs and treats, we had lots of fun!

Sweet Sleeping Baby

A sleeping baby is one of my favorite things in the world.  I love how sweet their faces look when they are safe away in dreamland.  I love getting close enough to hear their slow and peaceful breathing.  I could watch them sleep for hours if there was enough time in the day!  Natalie is approaching two and the opportunities to call her my baby are quickly slipping away, I must capture it and save it for when I have no more babies to call my own. 

Field Day 2012

After being postponed twice due to wind advisories Mark Fine Field Day 2012 was finally held on the hottest day we have had this year.  Thank goodness there was plenty of water activities to keep the kids cool.  What a fun day getting to watch Maile participate with her goofy little class.  Hands down elementary teachers are the most courageous and patient people on the planet, I could so not handle 21 of those stinkers day in and day out!  Regardless, I still enjoy spending time watching Maile interact with her friends and today was a great day to see how she has progressed throughout the year.

Team relay, too cute seeing them work together.

I love how happy this girl is to have me there, soon enough she will be too cool for me!

Love this girl and love this smile, just makes me happy!
