Russell's 6th Birthday!!!

On Monday, Russell turned 6!

Russell is such a blessing to us.

He loves to help out with the cleaning, especially the vaccuuming and the dusting.

Addie's Haircut

Last Monday I cut the back of Addison's hair. As you can see, the sides are not quite the same length as the back but almost. The most difficult part of the haircut was keeping her still.

Now I think she looks a lot older.

Safely Home

I just finished reading Safely Home a novel by Randy Alcorn. It is an amazing book about the church in China. The book took me about three weeks to finish, but I usually only read for an hour or so before bed each night (some nights I did have a difficult time putting it down after only an hour).



If you are looking for something to read, I would definitely recommend it.

Swimming Lessons

The boys just finished up with the swimming lessons they were taking. After the eight classes, all three are much more comfortable in the water.

Vaunder and Russell were in the same class.

Here's Owen at swimming lessons.

Squirt Gun Fight!!!

Auntie Kristin got the boys and Addie these big squirt guns for Owen's birthday. So after the cake there was a big water fight.
Jon didn't get a squirt gun so he had to use the hose.

The boys ready to fire.

Before we had dinner, we all went swimming at Webber Pool.

Here's Russell at the pool eating some oranges during safety break.
