We've had a busy week!
A very organized & creative friend of mine (Ali Martineau) puts on a mommy & me 'camp' at her house every summer for a week. She organized such things as a nature scavenger hunt, apron painting, cupcake baking, making a terrarium out of a old coke bottle (complete with roly polys, worms & snails!), swimming, & face painting. She seriously makes me look like a lousy mom. We had an excellent time, and the kids were worn out! (which makes for a happy mommy about 7pm when they go to bed!)
My cousin Jeff, his wife Sherry, and 2 kids Alexis & Zachary were in town for the week as well. We spent some time with them at the lake. We had a really fun time playing in the water and Grant even got to try water skiing for the first time. He never made it too far, but he thought it was the coolest thing ever. Grant has surpassed his fathers water skiing ability... :)
After the cousins left the Johnson family (Ron, Winno, Jared & Jodie) joined us at the lake. We spent all day Saturday on the boat & jet ski. It was a lot of fun.
And to complete the week my Harry Potter book arrived, so now I've got to go read!
Here are a few pictures to enjoy...

This is for my mom
Ya, ya, I know, it's been a few months since I last posted.
Guess what happened in those last few months??? Kendal started walking. There is a direct correlation between walking & posting.
Let's see, what's happened since we last talked????
Grant finished up school, so now he's home with me every single day.... So, we spend lots of time trying to keep busy. We've been to the beach (Outer Banks, North Carolina), the zoo, the pool, the lake, the backyard (many, many times)... Kendal is a little stinker. She loves to push her baby dolls in their stroller, she loves to unroll an entire roll of toilet paper, and pull every single article of clothing out of a drawer. She & Grant love to break into the kitchen cabinets and have 'picnics' on the floor. (Basically pull out all the chips, pretzels, cereal & cookies they can find and then eat until I catch them).
I promise to be a tad better about posting. Maybe when school starts up again in September I'll have a minute or two more to do so....
In the meantime, enjoy these recent pictures of the kids.
