Summer Pictures

Colten saw these Jello heart faces in a magazine of his and wanted ot make them. The cheerios are the eyes and smile and the sprinkles are the freckles. It was too hot that week to make cookies so this was the perfect thing to make on a hot day.

Tony also took Colten to the Centralia air show and he got to sit in a coast guard helicopter. It was a small show, but great fun for Colten.

My boys finished their 2 weeks of swimming lessons.

Carson would get cold and fuss the entire time he was in the water. He finally stopped screaming and just cried the second week.

Colten did a great job and the last day of lessons jumped in without his teacher helping. We were proud of him.

We went camping at our church family camp this last weekend. The boys had a great time and made new friends. It was sad today because it was our last trip in our little camper. Tomorrow we are going to pull everything out, scour it out, and get it sold. It was a great trailer, but is too small for our family. With two boys, two fat dogs, and two adults, it is very tight to fit us in for the night. We are looking for bigger trailers to get for next summer. We have lots of time to save up and shop for exactly what we need.

High lights from camping: Carson being able to not eat food at meals, but mooch food off everyone else at camp, putting himself to "bed" and really sitting on our bed and pulling every wipe out of the new package of wipes and scattering them on our bed, Colten learned carpetball (think shuffleboard with carpet and billiard balls), he made new friends and taught them all how to use his stomp-rocket, which was the best toy EVER recieved!

The boys all went swimming, canoeing, bird watching, and hiking. They had a great time. It was hilarious to watch Carson try to paddle a canoe with a paddle twice as big as he was!

To the end of five great years in our little trailer.
