Warmer weather means...

Turtles! He was such an awesome one that Dad even put a red mark on his shell so we could let him go and keep track of him...


Strawberry picking of course!





Preston joined our afternoons...



Sidewalk chalk, hopscotch and sisters - what more could you ask for?




And on Memorial Day we went on our very first real family hike - great weather, beautiful woods and most important, positive attitudes until the very end!

2013 Music Recital


The kids had their music recital the other night - Avery and Presley have now completed the first year of the Let's Play Music program and Caleb has completed the second year.  Some of the songs they sang together, like Do Re Mi and then other songs they sang while the bells were being played, or the keyboards.  It was so fun to watch the girls perform this year - they were right in the front with their cute faces...it was also a little tricky sometimes to have three kids performing at once because you can't always watch all of them at the same time!



This was a song Caleb played like a pro while the girls played the bells on the other side of the room:



And here are the girls playing another song on the bells, perfectly!


I think I was smiling ear to ear the entire time I watched the recital - it's so much fun to see them show off what they have worked hard on all year!
