Vacation Bible School

Diem LOVES her "lunchbox" school. She looks forward to it every year. She has a great time and they kids there that help out love having her. Lawson is still too young, but he is looking forward to it next summer. The pictures are from the program they put on at the end of the week.




Lawson insisted on standing by sister while they sang the final song. It was sweet.

Lawson's Birthday

We had a small family birthday for Lawson again. I have not seen a huge interest in him having friends over, and I don't want that either. His friends tend to be either too young and not potty trained or Diem's age, which I think they'd play more with Diem. We will wait a couple years for those types of parties for Lawson.

Cake by Jennifer Van Dessel. She is great! And a Jack of all Trades.

















We had a yummy dinner of BBQ Chicken, 7-layer salad, Pink Fluff Salad, Baked potatoes and cake/ice cream. It was a good day with both sets of grandparents, GG Lorietta, Uncle Kyle and Aunt Amanda and of course Sugar, Peche and Sully. It was a good time.

Some more silly moments

These kids are really hilarious. This is what our bedroom looks like in the mornings now. At 6 am.

    

Getting ready for Emily's wedding, I had to make sure Lawson's clothes fit. He was not impressed. However, he was really tired when I made him try this all on.






 I just thought this was sweet. This is how she usually sits on my lap when she is eating.

Silly Kids

I have got some silly kids :) Some days they are hilarious and make me laugh just for fun, some days they do things to be irritating! But, this day was just them being silly. And the picture of Evie is her reaction to them sitting in her chair.



 and also, this is Evie's first little pony tail!

Kaitlyn's 10 Year Reunion and 4th of July

We went to Belgrade/Bozeman to celebrate my 10 year reunion. It also happened to be over 4th of July so we stayed and enjoyed some festivities as well. Saturday we had a picnic in the splash park and had a cornhole tournament.  My partner and I were defeated early so the picture is of us playing Logan and her husband later for fun. The kids really enjoyed running around with other kids and it was really nice getting to see some people.  I was disappointed in the turn out but the evening was fun.  We went to JRs lounge and sand karaoke.  Yes, I sang and it was a blast.

Sunday we went to my aunt's dad's house and had another BBQ. The bugs were biting and the kids were exhausted so we didn't stay long.. But we got to see Grandma and Grandpa Noyes, Mike and Renea and couple others so it was good.

Once we got home from Bozeman, I half thought, half hoped the kids would nap. Not the case, They played dress up. So cute.

 Kyle-Ann (most good friend from grade school) and Evie being adorable for the camera.

 Us losing at cornhole. Logan is on Michael's team, I am on Kyle-Anne's. They beat us twice. My right arm and right calf were extremely sore after the weekend of cornhole (we also played Friday night at Jess's house).

 At the Plantation. Biting bugs, hot, tired kids, a ton of food.

 Princesses

 Lawson wanted to be a princess with a horse.

Evie just modeling again <3

Swimming Lessons

All three kids had swimming lessons already and they did awesome! I will add photos of their jumping in when Korrin (our helper) sends them to me. So for now, missing Diem, we have these pictures of the cutest sun babies ever. Always ready for pictures. Evie LOVED the water. She was blowing bubbles, didn't mind going under, and was splashing and laughing the whole 2 weeks.

 Can you say Sunscreen Model!?

Lawson being sweet.

Fast Forward!! Our 6th Anniversary!

In the months since Evie has joined us, we have had Christmas, New Year's, Easter, St. Patrick's, and a few other events that I do have pictures for but, I cannot bring myself to do all the posts and I don't have much time!

Fast forward to Our 6th Wedding Anniversary!

We decided to take the kids to the lake for the day and mess around in the water. As soon as we arrived, the weather turned a bit horrible but we stuck it out and had a great time anyway. Evie was getting fussy towards the end, and I forgot a bottle! We had the formula and the warmed water but no bottle! So, we had to go home, as soon as it was beginning to get sunny again.

 Cheeser!
