The Crazy Zoo

It is terribly difficult to get eight children to sit still and look at the camera all at the same time.

So, this is as good as it got. My friend Amber came to visit for a week with her four children and her sister. The title of this post says it all. They were always running, crawling, or rolling somewhere, but they had a ton of fun and were all really well behaved, even Stef. ;>)

Happiness is.........

..."hugging" a kitty......

........ Digging in the dirt........

......Petting a dog......

......Riding a horse......

and just having a lot of fun!

Swim Lessons

Sam loved swimming with his new friends.
What fun would swim lessons be if you can't have a time-out?
Ryan and Emily would run up to each other throughout class

and hug like it had been forever.

Jacob has an interesting "technique" when it comes to swimming.
And Connor couldn't go this time, so he had a consolation ice cream cone.

Fun in the sun

We went to the zoo with David last week and had a lot of fun.
Sam likes to show off his muscles.
They beg to play in the sprinkler and then when I

turn it on they will not go near it

because it's too cold.

Connor kept stealing the boys' frisbee, he loved it. We went to the beach last week and the kids went to regatta

park with their nana and poppa.
