Today the boys took on the project of building the tallest tower to the ceiling and the best fort ever!

This was a fun morning with Daddy....

What happened to nap time???

I have always enjoyed nap time. I love the quiet time to clean work on primary lessons, or nap myself. Max is now almost five and just started to not nap every day. Spencer who is 2 has not needed naps every day for a while now. We established quiet time so they can rest and I still read or do what i need to do. Well this is an example of how this is working in our house..... I miss the naps! I guess all good things come to an end.

Never to young for chores!

Spencer doing his morning chores.... It is his job to help vaccume and unload the dishwasher. Today he also helped make blueberry muffins for his friends coming over for school time. The boys have always loved to help with chores. I love that max helps fold laundry -its the best!!

No more training wheels!

He can do it! I was so scared to let go and let him try I ran down the whole length of the sidewalk holding the back of his seat :) after twice of doing that it was hot and I was tired so I finally let go and he took of with a little practice and no major falls.

These pictures are from day two of trying to learn...i can't believe I forgot his helmet...not my brightest moment oops! luckily he didn't crash. He more finds a bush to coast into when he for sees a crash ahead! The cutest part is when he takes off and goes he yells to all the other kids around "watch out crazy driver!" over and over again. He drives like his mom!!

Ward Lake Trip

We stayed all day and played! The boys had a lot of fun ridding on all the different rafts and boats. Max laughed every time he was flipped off. Spencer went out on an intertube with Elbert and enjoyed it too. You have to ask Elbert who was flipped of the intertube more Him or Chris... Bro. Fauler did a great job driving the boat- the figure 8 move was the best. At the end of the day we had a contest who was the most sun burned...it wasn't me!

Sunday evening we went to the Temple Visitor Center with our friends here are a few pictures...

Me and my Hubby- Aren't we cute!! In two weeks we will have our 4th wedding Anniversary. We are still trying to decide what date to celebrate our wedding date, sealing date, family sealing date....maybe we should celebrate them all!! My three handsome boys!
The four kids had a great time watching the videos and enjoying the temple grounds.
This will go on their wedding announcement if they get married.

The boys go to the dentist...It is Spencers first visit.

The dentist we go to is great! Spencer was unsure about them at first, but had a fun time! The girls played with him and made it a great first experience. This dental office has games, movies, prizes, and other things to keep little ones happy. Max LOVES the dentist and her hygentists. Spencer was cavity free and added into the cavity free club :)

See this little mouth....3 cavities!!! He brushes and flosses- This mouth has cost $2000 so far in fillings! (pre-insurance payment that's the cost!)

Max can tie his shoes!

He practiced and practiced trying to master the skill. He can do it!! 4 years old and tying his shoes...I do have to let him know 30 minutes before we leave so he can start working on it BUT although a little slow, he can do it!

a childs goal...

The boys were determined to fill the side walk with their art...They worked together and in Jammies until it got too hot to continue. Max left a note and a picture for his friend next door :)

FHE

The boys were so adorable we had to film their puppet show of the Good Samaritan. I am sad it turned out dark, but you might still be able to see how cute they are...

We had lot of fun! the boys canoed, Spencer roller scated for the first time, the beach, parks, Multnomah falls, fishing, road trip to Washington....
