The Puddles

Two beautiful ducks!

It is going to be a fun pool filled summer!!

Of course since this picture, we have made several more trips to the store to buy dozens of more duct tape. We are becoming a duct tape family. The kids all love it. It is a fun way to be creative! You should see everything that we have made.

I got this picture at the 3rd grade picnic! They are both enjoying the hot dogs and other goodies! It is so sweet to see Ben and his new friend together.

The kids at church have really enjoyed spending time in the garden this year. Even my puddles enjoy going on their own to pick vegetables. The four of us went one afternoon and pick the huge bounty that’s on the kitchen counter.

It has been fun watching the kids enjoy the garden while watching the vegetables grow waiting until they can be picked. “Is it ready?” Is a common question out there.

Sometimes this picture feels like a reflection of life. Three cultures sitting on the roof waiting for their next target. Just hoping that the next target is not me!

Madie’s final concert of the year! She played wonderfully and then was given a medal for best student in 5th grade! We are so proud of her!

The older girls planned an entire meeting for the younger girls. This helped both troops earn their bridging patches!! The older girls did a fabulous job. It is so nice to see them grow up and become leaders.

It is our cousins!! It is hard to entertain ourselves while we wait to see the doctor. Today was a little easier. We found our cousins after looking at all the pictures on our doctor’s door. It is nice to see a familiar face while waiting.

Ben has been looking for a new chair since his birthday. We have been going online and looked in stores and still . . nothing.

Ben is very particular about what kind of chair he wanted. He had to try out each chair individually and nothing seemed to work.

Last month we finally found a chair that Ben liked. And that he could afford! He is so proud of this chair. He drags it everywhere to sit in.

It is his chilling out chair!!
