Just some random stuff...no pictures sorry!

I have a few funny things to tell you about our kids. I need to write more of this stuff down, but I feel bad posting stuff without pictures. Oh, well.  This is for me and not  ya'll!

Addison and Glade's seat have been in the way back of the surburban since last weekend because my parents were in town.  We got in the car to go somewhere on Monday and Glade had something that Addison wanted some of...I think it was cookies.  She asked Glade to share and he said no...of course!  She loves to carry her little bible from cradle roll around wth her.  So she opened her bible and this is what I heard.  "God, Glade is not sharing."  A little pause with Addison looking at her bible.  She then looked at Glade and said, "Glade, God said to share."  So guess what, Glade did share!

Today, the kids were outside in the pool while I was folding clothes.  The water is still too cold for Glade.  Addison was in and having a great time.  Then Glade decided to help her.  She would sit on the edge of the pool and Glade would help lean her back and then dump her in.  Looked kinda like he was trying to baptize her. 

I went to the store this morning for some snacks for our trip.  I got home and could hear loud THUDS coming from upstairs.  Addison calls down to me to come up "You've got to see this" she says.  So I go up and she is halfway up our little slide and then jumps off.  Then it's Glade's turn, he stands at the top and leaps off.  Talk about holding your breath!!  I can just see some broken arms or legs in our future with these jumpers.  So, I told them not jump from the top anymore!  I am really surprised Grandma let them do it!

First Swimming day of the summer!

Yesterday I got out the pool.  The kids had a blast.  Last summer we had the same pool and it lasted the whole summer.  I am not sure it will last as long this summer...you will see from the pictures and video.  I know there will be many fun days in the pool.  Now, if only the slip-n-slide I want will go on sale!!!

The kids made their own jumping platform with the chair.  I love that we can catch them in the air as they jump!

Congratulations Tim!

Tim is finally done with his bachelor's degree!  He has worked so hard to get it done and he finally did it.  We went to the gradulation- as Addison calls it on Friday night.  My dad took the pictures since I was Tim's escort.  Who knew that I would actually walk across the stage with him.  Dad needs some lessons on how to use our camera.  The pictures aren't the best, but he tried!

Splash Day!

Today was splash day at preschool.  Glade and Addison had a blast playing in the water.  This was the first time this year they have been able to play in a pool.  I think it is time to break out the pool and have some good summer fun!
Their favorite thing was the slip-n-slide!  We may have to invest in one this year. 

Just because I love our camera!  I love how you can see the water spray!  It looks really cool in black and white.  I just need to learn more how to edit the pictures to make them look the best.  Anyone want to teach me the basics of photoshop???

Mother's Day

On Mother's Day we went to church with Tim in Klondike.  He preaches there twice a month.  It's a little country church.  They love when we bring the kids, but it is hard with them.  They want to be right next to Daddy while he is preaching.  The members don't mind, but I do.  It's a workout for sure!  They did much better this time than they did the last time we were there.  They were so cute all dressed up.  Glade wearing his tie just like Daddy!
They ran up and down the ramp.

This is the only picture of me with the kiddos on Mother's Day.  It was a great day!  We enjoyed being together.  Now I can't wait until Friday when I can go get a pedicure, that was my gift.  Along with the new black refrigerator...yep, our fridge died just in time for Mother's Day!
