After diner on Sunday's our family enjoys going to Heritage Trail bike path.Today I decided to roller blade with John for the first time in about 10yrs. It was not easy but it was fun. Brandon,Ryann, and Alex rode their bikes for 7 and a half miles. I am not sure how far I went but I know it was not that far.

Trey did not have a nap today.We are going through the stage of napping every other day.So as usual no nap means he fells asleep at dinner. It is just a good thing that he is small,we put him in Brie's seat and her in a highchair.She really thinks she is big stuff sitting at the table.I guess that we now have to ask for two highchairs when we go out.

Brie makes some of the funnest faces!

swimming at G&G Ryan's

It was very hot Saturday so the three youngest children,John and I went swimming over at Grandma and Grandpa Ryan's pool.John's phone is water proof so we used his phone to take the pictures.

John's idea of a joke.

John had Ryann lay at the bottom of Ash Cave falls and act like she had fallen off the falls.That is were these pictures came from. Since then Ryann has convinced Brandon that she actually fell from the top.

Sorry, I had to post this.

My sister in law sent my the first picture of my Mother in law holding Ryann and her dog.She wrote,"Mom holding her babies". In which I replied," We are just glad that she finally stopped rocking you to sleep".( My sister in law is 26) She wrote me back and asked if I was sure that she was no longer being rocked to sleep by
Mom I told her good point but I need a picture to post on my blog. So here it is.

Father and sons

John and Alex went to their annual Father and sons camp out with church yesterday.Brandon was working and Christopher is still too little so it was just the two of them. Alex had been looking forward to this all year. He really missed his friend Alex Peacock this year but they still had a great time.

first sentence

Christopher is a little delayed in speech. He has recently started talking a lot more( or at least gives it his best attempt). Brandon was on the roof painting the trim today and Christopher came running inside. He was very excited and he said, "Brandon is uppy in the sky" Kids are so darn cute.

Carrots anyone?

What a cutie!

Brie

All of my babies have enjoyed eating lemons. They get this from their Purple Grandma.




Brie fell asleep this way in the swing. It looks like her head got too heavy.
