Summer Camping

We went camping last weekend with some of my family. The last time we attempted camping, it was a disaster. This time was....great! Both kids loved being outside and being able to run and do what they wanted. They both slept well in the tent (except during the hail storm). It rained most of the weekend and we were cold and it was so nice. We all had a great time.
Since it was so wet and rainy, my camera stayed inside the dry tent most of the time. I only took about 5 pictures. However, there was plenty of documenting going on by others. As soon as those resources become available, I will attach a link to them (think six very creative 10 - 12 year-olds with a video camera). In the mean time, these will have to do.
Trevor was in heaven!

The Last of the Thirties...

Today is Jeff's birthday. We celebrated by lunch and a movie (with no kids) and store bought cheesecake. The kids loved blowing out the candles.

I should post a big, long tribute to Jeff about how he is such an amazing father and husband and how we all love him so much... But he doesn't read the blog so I'll just go tell him.

Happy Birthday el jeffe.

Starting her Young

Among other things she's starting young: talking back, the silent treatment, pouting, screaming at her mother, fighting with her brother, only doing something if it was her idea. (Potty training has been thrown out the window!)
