A Fun Saturday!

I'm finally on top of things and posted some pictures. I want to bring attention to the new pictures along the side. In Brooke's picture you can kind of see her earrings. Her Grandma Lisa pierced her ears awhile back and I realized the other day that I never posted. One more note that we are absolutely thrilled to announce- no we're not prego- NO MORE PACI for Brooke. She threw the last one in the trash over a week ago. YEAH!!!! Anyways, hope you enjoy he new posts.

Two weekends ago was
the Soldotna Safety Day and we actually had decent weather. A slight breeze kept things a little chilly but it was good to be outside for most of the day. The kids got their faces painted- how cute! I could not believe Brooke actually sat still and let the lady do that, it was so cute though, when everyone else was done getting theirs painted on she just sat down in the chair for her turn. Silas really wanted Batman on his face, somehow the lady convinced him that a spider would do. We got our free car-seat check with everything A okay. Apparantly I do something right!

After a quick trip to the store we headed home for a nap. Of course my kids had other plans. The weather was nice so it was time to spend the rest of the day outside. We had 5 loads of dirt brought in to start working on our yard/driveway. It is amazing how much fun dirt is. Brooke doesn't climb up in it, but she likes watching Si. Si has all sorts of dump trucks and loaders that are permanently parked there. The John Deere tractor always provides hours of entertainment. Silas has a track made on the back side of the house, he cruises all the time. Brooklyn will get on anytime she sees it not being used. Occasionally, she will accidentally push the pedal and make it go. She thinks it is so much fun! Brooke had so much fun doing the slide all by herself. Everytime I would try to help her she would just yell "Me, Me!" She is getting so big and talking so much. She was able to play with our outdoor toys that have been put away for so long. She really liked watching all the airplanes flying by too. Silas was just enjoying playing outside.

Our dog Kodi now loves to spend 90% of the day outside. She has made a friend from a house nearby. His name is Lightning. They are always wrestling around.
Our family friend Mike dropped by with his new toy and took each of the kids for a ride. They had a ton of fun today! We are looking forward to a lot more fun outside this summer!
We have a big weekend coming up. We are going camping with a bunch of friends from church. We all have kids around the same age- it should be a blast. I am praying for nice weather! I am looking forward to posting pictures! Hope you all enjoy your Memorial Day weekend!
