September Pictures

Here are the leftover pictures from the month.

Ward playgroup was inside because of rain.  Matthew loved the fireman dress-up.

LEAF park day.  This was the park day after the windstorm.  A few big trees were down.  The kids loved climbing them and making a fort under the branches. 

Matthew and one of his friends from LEAF.  They look like I caught them in the middle of a shady deal.

 

Matthew always want to help bake and he always wants to stick his fingers in whatever I'm making.

Another ward park day.  How many kids can you fit on a seesaw?  Matthew enjoyed just hanging out on the steps at the park.

Daddy and Anna with the puzzle they worked on together.

July's Pictures

We finally got wise and got headphones for the car DVD players.  It was so quiet!

This and That

At the end of each month I have a folder full of pictures that don't go to anything in particular, but I think show a little more how our everyday life is.  Here's the random pictures from June.  Hope you like them.

Anna has been very into ballerinas lately.  She's asked for dance lessons and loves to dress up.  On this day, she convinced Matthew to dress up too.

We went to IKEA a couple of times this month looking for a shoe cabinet and possibly a bed for Matthew.  It was kids eat free day so we stopped for lunch.  We finally did make it home with a shoe cabinet.  It looks great in the front entrance.

The kids love, love, love to get out as many dolls and stuffed animals as they can.  On this day, they were all watching TV together.  On another day, it was Christmas and Anna and Matthew were giving each doll Christmas presents.

Matthew is getting so big!

We heard of a local bakery and decided to give it a try.

Donuts with sprinkles are preferred.

"I'm Super Why with the power to read!"

Steve's showing the kids a new game he found for them on the Ipad.

We had a neighbor family, the Ranges, come over to celebrate Midsommar with a Swedish dinner.  They have 2 girls, one 8 and one 6.  Anna and Matthew adore them.

Becky Range brought over sugar cookies and stuff for the kids to decorate them.  Yum!
