June in a Thousand Words

First up: Swim Lessons! The boys were scared at first, but progressed rapidly.  It helped a lot to have just two kids per session.  The boys wanted to do lessons with Coach Nicole again at the end of the summer, but we never got the chance.

Uncle Cameron, Lisa, and cousin Madison came to visit.  We had fun at the beach, in the pool, and visiting the Jelly Belly factory.  There were also numerous MarioKart races and other Wii games.  Poor Gideon got an ear infection and had to miss out on some of the fun.  We had lots of fun and hope they come again soon.

The Jorgensens came.  We hung out at home, went bowling, visited the jelly belly factory (again), and repaired all the things that Peter broke.

June 2010.  Finally got rid of the puke purple in the living room, did a lot of swimming, enjoyed visits from family, and celebrated Daniel's 8th birthday.  Daniel broke his nose (we assume) after a "head-on" collision, we canned lots of cherries (yum, yum), and couldn't take a good Father's Day picture to save ourselves.

As usual, if you want to see something bigger, click on the collage.  If you want to see the photos individually, and more of them, visit the family site.  If you don't know where or how, let me know and I'll hook you up.

March 2010 in a Thousand Words

Tee ball anyone?  We did take a day to play at the park, but our routine hasn't included much variety this month.  There are some random photos as I experiment with the camera, but most have a reason to exist.  If you can't figure it out, feel free to post a comment/question.

February in a Thousand Words

February was a much calmer month than January.  We had a few colds run through the family, but remained mostly healthy.  We were able to go to the Oakland Temple, while the boys enjoyed Chabot Space and Science Center.  Joshua honed his baking skills and even took a loaf of bread he made to share with his preschool class.  Gideon discovered his hands, continues to grow, and loves to smile at anyone who will smile at him.  All the boys chose new shoes, Nathan loved his so much that he slept with them (multiple times).  Both Daniel and Joshua started into t-ball, which will continue to keep us busy till June.  Fewer happening meant fewer pictures, so you'll probably be able to see all of these without clicking to enlarge, though you can if you want.
