4th of July Opening Song

This is so cute. Mom Neil helped the kids last week put together this performance, before the neighborhood parade. It was the cutest thing. More pics of the parade to follow. I love how Preston comes marching in. He's ready for boot camp!!

Zipline??

Last saturday while I was working around the house, Jackson and Preston were working in the tree. They grabbed a jump rope and tied both ends of it to different branches on the tree and had put a toy that had a ring with a ball hanging from it onto the jump rope. The purpose was to have the ring run along the jump rope and they could then hold onto the ball at the bottom of it and use it like a zipline. What a great idea. They were proud of their idea. Things looked well, until they tried it and the ring made out of plastic broke, and the zipline didn't get used. Oh, dang. Pretty creative little ones for only being 7 and 5 years old

BMX racing

This was our first experience at a bike track. It was Awesome. The kids watched the other biker kids at the track, and then jumped in riding along side them on the track. They all rode without fear. We had a great time!!! Too Fun!! I think we'll be coming back soon!

Tree climbing in the rain

Who says you can't climb the trees in the rain? It's saturday and were going to play outside!
Note: green bucket and rope was for Abby and Preston to put food into the bucket so she could pull it up on her homemade pulley

Climbing the tree is fun. How high can we go?

Look at me! It's fun to hang from the tree.......and I'm only 7yrs old. Just wait!

The boys

The kids couldn't get enough of sledding down the hill! They tell us often that they want to go back, and do it again!

Just wanted to get the word out that we... finally have a blog!!! Hopefully it will improve with time. For now- at least it is something!
