Jon, Lynette, Vanessa, and Benson - this is for you guys. I don't think anyone else looks at our blog, and that's OK! I am sorry these posts aren't more often. We are so excited to see you guys in a month! Here are some pictures we have taken the last 3 months so you can see what we have been up to. Love you guys!

Sam and Kaden - last soccer game.

Sam did awesome on his soccer team. He really is one of the fastest runners and isn't afraid anymore of going to the ball. In his first game last Fall, he didn't understand why someone would kick the ball away from him, it really hurt his feelings! He has become much more aggressive and not so sensitive. Yay! He scored a few goals for our team and a few for the other team. It is so hard for these kids to remember which goal to kick at!

Brooklyn came to watch Sam's last game. She just loves Sam! Probably because he is much nicer to her than Molly is!

Fish Lake. Dave and Jaden trying to catch a fish.

Grandpa Brady taking the kids on a hike.

We hiked to the Beaver Forts. The kids thought that was so cool.

Breann is 7 years old!!!

Breann got an "American Doll" from her friend Brynn for her birthday. She loves to dress and look just like her. Brynn's Mom made these twinner skirts.

Sam has learned how to swim by himself, but still makes me a little nervous.

Breann is our little fish. She has become a great swimmer and is still very cautious.

Simon loves the water, and loves to splash.

First Coke!

Brynn Fry, Molly, and Breann making Snickerdoodles.

Molly found the PB…

She must have been REALLY tired. She doesn't usually fall asleep in random places like Sam. Sam is almost 6 years old and still falls asleep everywhere. Yesterday, it was the stairs!

Simon LOVES the piano pedals.

What a stud!

Sam jumping into the foam pit.

Breann had her first Gymnastics Meet and did AWESOME!

Picnic in the driveway - Cheerios, candy, and Article of Faith cards : )

Simon loves the hammock!

Pioneer Day Carnival in Mendon.

Is there a baby that does not love sucking the juice out of a watermelon?!

Mendon Parade. The fire engines hosed us down!

Mueller Park Fireworks. Simon loved them!

Brynn and Breann with their flower glow sticks.

Simon's favorite part of the parade was the flag waving girls.

I am so clever! I parked our truck in the afternoon pretty much on Main Street, at the beginning of the parade, in the shade. It was so nice to have the kids in the truck. When we were done, we just drove off to where we parked the Yukon. Best parade ever! We were only gone 1 hour and never got stuck in any traffic.
