Been Busy

Here's what we've been up to the last few weeks.

We celebrated Tanner's 7th birthday in May!!

I can't believe he is 7. He picked crepes for breakfast. For his party we roasted hot dogs and had chocolate ice cream.

Tanner, I'm so glad you are my little boy. I love your hugs and kisses. I love your big smile. I love how you are so helpful all the time.

Yummy crepes!

He loved having a few friends over. We played games with prizes. Tanner was very particular with what he wanted to have happen.

Memorial Day

We decide to go visit my parents on Memorial Day. We ate a nice lunch

and hiked around the mountains.

Matthew and Savannah getting into trouble.

We played frisbee and relaxed.

Justin crawled around in the dirt.

Tanner's walking stick.

My mother pretending she's an old lady. Never mom ... you'll always be young.

This was a fun swing that we could almost all fit on.

Savannah's haircut and braces

Savy got braces and cut her hair. She also started conditioning with the high school girls. She is going to try out for the soccer team in August.

These are before pictures.

We need to do a photo shoot of the haircut but here is one until then. It took Savy about one hour to blow dry her hair before the cut. Her hair is really thick.

Here is her with the braces. Lovely : )

The ZOO! Finally!

Now Tanner can say he's been to the zoo. We got a year pass so we'll be visiting often. Matthew was studying for the ACT so he couldn't come this time.

Justin was pointing at every animal and doing this little grunt. It was so cute.

We were watching the elephant show here. It was really cool watching

the mother and baby doing tricks.

Just the right size as an ape.

How cute : )

Love those boys.

Savy and A found a friend.

Park Days

Every Wednesday we have park day with the homeschool group. It's a teen/family park day. We started this as a way to keep the teens (and younger kids) connected with their friends during the summer. We visit a different park every week. This park below was so much fun. It has a duck pond and many of the baby chicks were hatched out and following their mothers.

Jusin loved the ducks. He had fun feeding them.

Tanner feeding the ducks.

This was one of the many families that we saw. CUTE!!

Another Homeschool Prom

Justin took his first step!

On June 10th Justin took his first step. He has been standing up on his own for a couple weeks. He also has four top teeth and two bottom teeth. He can clap and wave goodbye. He loves to point his little finger at anything he wants or to show us something cool.

GO Jus!!

Brady went to Webelos woods.

He had a fun time.

Savannah went to a homeschool convention and Matthew took the ACT

A Parade

And last but not least, we went to a parade on Saturday.

It was cold but it was fun to spend time with some friends of ours.

Well, that's all........whew...and summer has just begun.
