Memorial day weekend.

When our neighbors were gone for memorial day we watched their dog and they said we could do smores in their back yard.  It was so much fun.  The kids and I enjoyed the weekend.  Dave was out of town.

Can you tell Jake loves smores?

I taught Tyler to make his first fire by himself.  He loved it!!

The weekend before his school teacher had her wedding reception.  Ms. Butcher is now Mrs. Stergeon.  She was an awesome teacher for Tyler!!

Brittany and Mika came to visit.

We were so lucky to have Brittany and Adrienne come to visit us.  Britt did the photo's for a wedding and we were just lucky to spend time with her and Mika!  Here is Allie with them.

Tyler wanted to hold her too but that moment she decided to not be happy.  Most of the time she was very happy.  She as just tired.
Mika and I had just the most amazing connection.  Her sweet spirit was so comforting to be around.  It was so fun to hold her and love her!!  I needed it.
Britt and I went to lunch with Jake and Mika.  Of course the whole lunch she was happy until we pulled out the camera.  Oh well.
I love Brittany!  She is beautiful and so talented!!  I feel blessed that I was able to spend time with her.  She is amazing!!

Liberty Park

I took the kids to Liberty park.  They played and had fun!

Here are Allie and Tyler on the teater totter.

Amber and Jake decided to pose.

The kids loved feeding the ducks.

Allie wanted me to take a picture of her trick with Jake.

Hanging out

I just took some pictures or the family hanging out one day.  Here's Ty.

Jake wanted to hold Chloe with Allie.  Poor Chloe!

Amber was painting at school.  She had so much fun.

Dave and Amber resting on the couch.

Whenever Jake takes a nap it is usually at 3:30 or later in the afternoon and in this exact position in front of the tv every time.  It is so cute.

Amber and Jake play soccer

Amber and Jake played indoor soccer.  This was a game where their two teams played each other.  They were so excited to be able to play each other.

They had so much fun playing together.  They are little buddies!
The only way we could get Jake to play most of the time is when amber held his hand.  
As the season progressed he really enjoyed playing and kicking the ball.
Amber liked playing with the net when she was the goalie!  She really enjoyed soccer and did a great job.
