Happy happy birthday!

Jaidyn!!!

We love you!

Because I know you're wondering...

First, I need to apologize.  I completely missed Misty's birthday. It  was on the 1st. 

Sorry Misty! Hope your day was great!

Now, here's what we've been up to~

Nate has perfected Sunday afternoon castle building.

Wesley has perfected the "If you insist on taking my picture I'm going to be goofy" pose.

And I have perfected the "whatever...I'm going to post it anyway" attitude.

Eli and Ivy have just finished their first soccer season of the year.

They both played great and have really improved since January.

The next season starts in a few weeks, hopefully we will have a little less rain and mud this time.

Edge has been trying out some different looks.

Here we have "Seriously serious"...

...and here we have.....um...I'm not really sure. 

But he pulls it off nicely, right?

Last weekend Sylvan got to go to California and go sailing with a couple of friends.

When he got home Eli and Ivy made him a delicious breakfast, which they enjoyed in our freshly painted, almost ready to move into dining area (a construction update is coming soon).

Myself, I mostly lie around eating Girl Scout Cookies and watching TV all day, taking time now and then to boss the kids around.  It's not easy, but I do take it seriously.
