More Summer Fun

We have had another busy week. Last Sunday, Adam finished his first 500 piece puzzle! He worked on it for about an hour everyday for about 5 days. He did most of it himself and was very proud when he finished it!
 We played milk carton catch. The kids made "catchers" out of milk cartons, and then spent some time outside playing catch with them.


 Wednesday we had lots of cousins over to play! For a quiet afternoon activity after everyone left, we experimented with invisible ink.

 Thursday was Flag Day, so we had some Flag Day fun! We made red, white, and blue pancakes for breakfast.

 We learned all about Betsy Ross and our flag and Adam taught Tessa how to say  the Pledge of Allegiance.

 We made a flag pizza for lunch and colored flag pictures.

 Thursday night we had Eric's work barbecue. The kids had a blast getting their faces painted, playing on the bounce houses, shooting their rockets and eating lots of yummy food!







 On Friday we made sidewalk paint, but ran out of cornstarch, so we didn't get to paint as much as we would have liked. We plan to do that more this next week. Tessa painted a sun and Adam painted a stadium.

Gwen's New Trick

Last week Gwen started rolling. I didn't know whether to be happy or sad. Adam and Tessa love watching her roll and cheer so loud every time she does it. She is only rolling from back to front, but at least it's a start. 








I love how these pictures show how chunky she is! People just want to squeeze those chubby thighs!

Tessa's First Haircut

Tessa has been so excited for today to come for about 2 weeks now. Today she got her very first haircut! Ever! She's only almost 4...I figured it was probably time. Aunt Jodi got to do the honors and it turned out super cute!
 Here is Tessa's before shot
 She was so excited!!

 Jodi "washed" her hair. (She really just rinsed it.)

 Tessa is not known for holding still. She was a bit squirmy, so one of Jodi's fellow hair dressers let Tess play a game on her phone.


 Jodi let Tess watch Dora on her phone. She was a happy girl!
 Jodi totally pampered our princess! Her haircut turned out great and she looks darling! Adam was even impressed with how awesome her hair looks. He said, "Her curls look like tornado's!"
 Our Princess Tessa!
Thanks Aunt Jodi for a fun afternoon!

Canyon Picnic

We had a nice family outing up the canyon on Saturday. We took a picnic lunch and then walked up to the waterfall to get our feet wet in the very cold water! It was a bit blustery, but other than that the weather was perfect and we had so much fun!
