Camping

These are the local alien hunters. 

Look at this cool gun that one of the kids brought.  It is carved out of wood.

My kids loved them!

James had fun with all of the games there were to play.  Here he is

playing horse shoes.  Yo, yo, yo, eh. . . yo!

Bob and Isaac getting in on the fun.

Eva just had fun hanging around with Grandpa, Kristi, and Bob.

We all had a fun time!

Camping Trip Here We Come !

We are going camping tonight.  Woo Hoo!  I think the last time we went camping was before Ryan and Brooke tied the knot.  It was during the winter and we froze!  The kids are very excited and are just waiting for Ethan to get out of school.

Butterfly Mania

I have been seeing an awful lot of butterflies lately. . . so, I thought that I would count how many I saw taking Ethan to school today.  I saw 9 on the way to school and a whopping 20 on the way home!   That was fun to see so many.

Super Sleepy Girl

Jacob and Eva don't take naps very often anymore, this is the result.  After 'naptime' (quiet time)

we pick Ethan up from school they watch 1 show before homework time.  Apparently

10 min. into the show was just enough to make my wonder girl konk out.

Goodbye Steve!

My brother Steve left for his mission today.  My kids love him!  I

am sure that the next time that we go over to Grandma Chapman's

house that the kids will forget that he left and ask, "Where's Steve?".

When he get's back Ethan will be almost 9.

Jacob will be about 7.

Little Eva won't be so little anymore, she will be almost 5.

Daddies Girl

Eva sure did miss her daddy and daddy missed his Eva!

Stinkbug Hunters - Last of the NM Pic's

One of my kids favorite activities was going on stinkbug hunts.

Once they found one they would A-Catch it and never want to release it or

B-Scare the crap out of them by following them all over the yard at a

proximity close enough to just almost step on it with each step.

Happy Hunters
