Beach day! We went to the beach with cousins and the kids had a blast. Watermelon and calzones for lunch and playing on the beach.

My 29th
Be on the watch for pushy salesmen. We received a shipment of new internet equipment after telling the guy at to door we wanted to think about it for a while. Guess what is going to get shipped back to the provider?
May 25th
Domino towers, we took time building in pairs, but had to copy an existing structure, Megan was the only one who could look at the building and had to tell dad what to do.
May 24th
On nice days we try to play 4 square. Adam and Hannah try to ride their bikes through the middle so we have designated pauses so they can do their thing.
May 22nd
Watching Tae kwan do. One of our friends had a presentation and award ceremony and we were invited to watch.
May 16th
For family home evening we decided to make aluminum foil people, this activity was a hit, some others are misses.
May 15th
Playing trains, Adam and Hannah will play with one of our train sets for several minutes before they fight over pieces. This is one of those moments.
May 14th
Kind of hard to see, but Rachel is trying to sit in the black tub we used to bathe the kids, but she is much too big for it.
May 12th
The living room, somedays cleaning is just like shoveling snow while the snowstorm is going.

Apr. 30th
Setting up a tent in the backyard for a "camp out". Rachel has been wanting to do this for a couple weeks, but we needed to wait for it to warm up a little bit.
Apr. 29th
I just had to get a picture of our trees/bushes in our side yard. The flowers smell so good. I wish it would last all year, instead of just a couple weeks.
Apr. 28th
Adam and Hannah share a bed. They each have their own but they like to share. And they always stay up reading books. It is cute.
Apr. 27th
Whitney and I made homemade cinnamon bagels for dinner. It was another recipe in my new cookbook. The bagels were time consuming, but not particularly hard. I might try the cheese bagel next time.
Apr. 24th
We went to the dinosaur park in Washington for the day. We went with my sister's family and it was really fun. There were so many dinosaurs for the kids to climb on.
Apr. 21st
I made a bunch of chocolate-dipped peanut butter cookies for a funeral in the ward. Everyone seemed to like the cookies; I will have to make more next time.
Apr. 18th
Will's parents came to visit us before heading to Vancouver. It was great spending time with them.
Apr. 17th
A fun day in Stanfield. We immediately met some dinosaurs. Adam and Hannah decided they didn't want to get close enough for the picture.
Apr. 15th
This Lego board is split into four quadrants and has been one of our best summer time reading program prizes ever received. The kids spent a long time building with Legos today.
Apr. 14th
The Umatilla library put on a story walk. We went to the walk and then the kids got to make bird feeders out of pinecones. They also each got to pick a book. So it was fun getting some exercise and doing some reading together, both are some of my favorite things.
Apr. 13th
Our RS activities this year have all been about being prepared. This one we talked about gardening and water purifying. We each planted some tomato and lettuce seeds. Unfortunately, mine were in the backyard and got knocked over multiple times. Oh well.
Apr. 12th
We made some homemade drumsticks for FHE treat because someone, couldn't have been me, forgot to buy the requested treat at the store. Thankfully, we had cones, vanilla ice cream, chocolate syrup, and peanuts. So the day was saved.
