Fun at the Lake

Kaylie spent an hour collecting Clams at the lake. What will we ever do with a bowl full of clams? Well Kaylie sure enjoyed collecting them!

We love to Seadoo!! =) We could've stayed at the lake all night and the kids would have never gotten tired of riding! =)

At last it was time to go home! The girls wanted to just ride on the seadoo as it was pulled down the freeway..somehow I think that wouldn't fly well with the parents!

Kyler stuck in the mud!! What a cutie...

Boys will be Boys

So we went to the lake on Saturday with some friends and took our Seadoo out for the first time this season. There were 10 kids and 4 adults that wanted to ride the seadoo so we had to take turns! There was plenty of time to play a the shore (in the mud) and so the boys sure enjoyed that.

Dallyn poked holes in the mud for the snakes to go in and out of.

Kyler enjoyed getting his shoes 'stuck' in the mud and saying "Mommy, Stuck again" over and over. I think it was a game for him. He also enjoyed throwing mud. What a mess!

Cameron and his friend had a great time 'cutting down trees' with their sticks. They explored the island like you would expect boys to do!

I Graduated!

Doesn't this just look so fun? Aren't you all jealous you couldn't take this class with me each day? Imagine 30 minutes of laying under different machines like this holding perfectly still and holding your breath over and over again?? It's definitely not a class I'd recommend enrolling for. Avoid it at all costs! =)

I did it-I graduated!! Of course it was only a 33 day course but it seemed like forever! Tuesday was my last day of radiation and after my treatment my doctors played the 'graduation theme' music and presented me with this Diploma!! Isn't that funny? They said I passed with high honors in optimism and good breath holding techniques. =) Anyhow, I hardly know what to think now...is it really true? Will I get some of my 'normal life' back now? What is normal life anyhow?? =)

Just had to share the great news!

Times to Remember...

These are just some really cute photos I wanted to share. Definitely times to remember...special times!!

Here is our first photo of the "cousins" on my side of the family. My sister had a baby girl 4 months ago and my children got to meet her for the first time Sunday. My kids are so excited to have a darling little cousin and Kaylie is excited that there is another girl in the family that she'll get to play with in a few years!

For Family Home Evening Cameron had our lesson. He taught about the importance of choosing the right. Then he had us build things from the scriptures out of Legos. It was very cute and everyone was really creative. We had a fun time! =) Thanks Cameron for a great lesson!

The boys playing "Police Chiefs". You'd better watch out-- they put up 'crime scene' notes throughout the house and were ready to take any 'bad guys' off to jail. Even Kyler had a little badge Cameron made him. Aren't they so cute??

I came downstairs and found Kyler in his pajamas still, wearing a toolbelt and playing Dad's drums, including the foot pedal. Is this a sign of things to come?? Perhaps another drummer boy in the family???

Climbing on top of the world

Scott's company had it's annual springtime picnic in Rancho Cordova on Friday and there is a great park there. I couldn't pass up the chance to take some photos of my boys climbing all around on the mountain and tower!
