Birthday Girl

Happy 4th Birthday Danika!

Swimming Lessons - Week 1

Week 1 of swimming lessons wrapped up on Friday. The weather this week was ideal for pool activities. Danika and her buddies are having a great time and gaining confidence in the water every day. As you can see in the pics she is floating on her own in a pfd!!

After swimming friday, Rita packed a lunch to have a picnic in the park. Kids had lots of fun. Had a former student take a family photo for us (thanks Maggie). Cade sure likes his grapes. Not sure why he's so protective of them. He's usually pretty good at the sharing/taking turns thing, but not when it comes to grapes.

Father's Day Fishing

Hey everyone, long time no blog! The day began with rainy, stay-inside and play type weather. Danika convinced Cade and I to play Barbie Dress-Up. Sorry no photos of that one and they certainly will not make it to the internet!

Anyway, Danika and I went out between the showers and did a little fishing at the pond. Lots of action!! Too bad they are just slimy little carp. Danika is too young to know the differance. She asked if we were going to keep some to eat but I pursuaded her to have grilled cheese instead. It didn't take her long and she was realing 'em in

by herself. She started just about jumping out of

her rubber boots when she felt a fish tug

on the line. Quite funny.

Jumping Fun

It's hard to tell, but that is Dani under all that hair. She got an early birthday present from Granpa Art, Mom, and Dad. The zipper locks so its sooo nice. Close'em in and your free!! Shopp'in, clean'in, the kids are safe!! Just kidding, but the thought brings a smile to my face. Photo Sharing - Upload Video - Video Sharing - Share Photos

Cade thinks he is in a "Cage Match" on WWF wrestling.

May Long Weekend

Mother's Day

Here is a beautiful picture that Danika made for me for Mother's Day. It's me walking outside with Wyatt. I have to brag, my daughter sure is talented. I had a wonderful Mother's Day. We went to Smitty's for breakfast(which I pigged out), played at the play ground, went to the greenhouses to get some flowers and had an awesome rib supper that Chad made. I couldn't have had a better day:) Chad and Danika built this bird house together. Danika keeps checking everyday if a bird moved in. No neighbors yet. Cades favorite thing to do, talk on the phone ( I wonder who he gets that from) and ride his Zebra. I thought this is a nice picture to show you that Chad took. She sure gets her good looks from her mom:) Canada's Next Top Model here she comes.

Danika's Art

Danika likes to draw little "theme" pictures now.

See if you can guess what scene she has drawn.

Answer at the end ;)

When we asked her what comments we should

type in she said "Write that I drawed a picture!"
