Memorial Day weekend . . .

Here are some pics from Memorial Day weekend. We hung out at Andrew's on saturday for sibling fun and then everyone came up to my house on monday. It was a great weekend.
Kings of the mountain!

Hey look Aunt Julie Trevor is climing that huge rock! Oh, maybe Aunt Julie should be covering her eyes!

Slide buddies . . .

Lucas loves climbing the rock!

She better rest now, so when she is bigger she can keep up w/all her boy cousins!

This is the spectator section in the shade! Ahhhh!

Noah loves posing for pics!

What's for dinner?

Eli wanted to put together his new bday present. More star war's legos.

Party on the last day of School . . . . Let summer begin!

Eli had a great time at his bday party yesterday! Pizza, cookie cakes, video games, go-carts, laser tag-who could ask for a better way to celebrate your 10th birthday! The kids all had fun!
Here are a few of the party go-ers!

Lego Star Wars- Woo Hoo!

Another marble for Eli's collection.

Magic pennies!

Yummy!

Make a wish!

And play time begins . . . .

Roller coasters . . . .

Go-karts . . . .

And video games . . . .

Lucas got the go-cart track to himself. He had so much fun. He was so proud of himself for not running into anything.

Trevor, Ty, and baby Victoria spend their time in the little kid play area. They also had fun! It was too hard to get pics of laser tag. But all in all the kids had a great time. Have a good weekend!

Picnics, ice cream sandwiches, and motorcycles . . .

Yesterday ended up being a beautiful day for the All School picnic! As a surprise for the boys, Autumn was able to join us and for treat for Autumn- Asher was able to join in her day of fun w/her brothers. All the boys were surprised and thrilled!

The kids had a great afternoon!

Eli wanted homemade ice cream sandwiches- w/homemade ice cream no doubt for his birthday treats! The school picnic was the best time for the cool treats.

Last night we met my mom for dinner and Lucas was excited to see a new Chopper BBQ restaurant, complete w/several motorcycles on display.

Lucas took some pics of the motorcycles on the inside.

Tomorrow is Eli's bday party, so come back to see pics! Have a good day!

Happy 10th Birthday Eli!

Today is Eli's 10th birthday, and I want to wish him a very happy birthday! I am in complete denial that I now have 2 kids that are double digits. Above is a pic of Eli just enjoying a fall day at the park. Eli, I am so proud of you. Your tender hearted-ness is unlimited. You have done so well in school and you are such a good example to those around you. I enjoy watching you grow up, although I wish I could slow you down at times. Happy Birthday Eli! I love you!

Field Day!

The boys had field day at school on Thursday. It was raining in the morning-so Lucas's class did their activities inside. It was so LOUD all morning long! I am sure that I have some permanent hearing loss but I was glad to be able to help. In the afternoon, the rain cleared and the older kids were able to do some activities outdoors. It was a fun day! Noah was able to help in the morning w/the kindergarten kids. However, when it came to participating in his own field day-he didn't find it to be too fun. He got a little too mixed up in some drama. A he said . . . but then she said . . . and then he did . . . but wait she said . . . Oh my head starts to hurt all over again! Some of the pics are blurry-sorry-just trying to keep up w/the action.
