We have had some really good trampoline weather and the kids have been jumping a lot together
Nixon and Mason both got RC cars that can work on land or water for Christmas. We finally got the cars in the river to see their water abilities.
Eye appointments for Lyza and Nixon. Lyza still needs glasses ;) Nixon is fine (for now) without them
Look at that balance (on a soccer ball)
Before school building
Reading in the teepee
Henry had his second soccer game last week and did really well
He scored 4 goals and was really proud of himself
Nixon worked really hard during his soccer game
His coach congratulated him
What a cutie
check out this creation...God is good!
The kids got to sit in a police car and talk over the loud speaker at an event at the library
And honk the horn in a semi
We got a projector that I tried out this week on the garage
Lyza is getting some new glasses
I bought a screen and built a portable frame for the projector so we had to try that all out together
The boys decided to build some bike jumps this week
Nixon finally realized how good mangos are
Shoulder ride
Henry got to go for froyo with Kim
Then she decided to scare him?
We spent Friday afternoon and evening at our friends' lake cabin. It was the first real hot day of the year. We fished off the dock for a little bit.
Nixon and Riley swam
Had some dinner
Did a little boating
Watched the sunset
Then we had an outdoor movie on the projector
Kim got up too early and ran 10 km
I got to go to Henry's soccer game and he had a blast
He scored three goals and led his team to victory
Here is his first goal and some dance moves
He also had soccer picture day so I snapped a few photos of him
Henry refused to have his picture taken with his team
TEAM PHOTO THAT NEVER WAS
Nixon had a soccer game at the same time that Kim attended. It was hot, he was tired from staying up too late the night before, but he worked hard.
Here he is passed out at the library after
Beautiful blossoms at the library
I picked him up and took him to his team pictures
Meanwhile these boys were listening to audio books in their room
Then I got some pictures of Nixon
So handsome!
That afternoon Mason had a birthday party South of CDA. We took him then the rest of us did a hike at a nearby preserve. The hike started with lots of geese.
The hand holding!
Saw this along the way
The abandoned bulldozer
Handsome Nixon posing
We all made it to the top
We were treated to a view of CDA lake
More posing
Lyza joined in
We saw at least 4 snakes along the way. This was the last one that I captured.
Henry is excited to go backpacking, even if he doesn't exactly know what it is
After that Kim and I went out for a dinner date
That's it for now. Have a great week!
