Great summer day...

Today, we got invited to hang out with some of our favorite friends at their friends pool!  It was a wonderful day to stay cool in the pool!  Soren LOVED the diving board and was trying to convince me that we should get a diving board for our pool!  Now, if you seen our pool....its the cheap plastic blue one from Walmart...so..... not so much on the diving board deal!  Never-the-less...my kids sleep well for naptime as swimming is such great exercise!






Miss Roo turns one

Miss Kinley Roo turned ONE this past weekend!  It was a action packed weekend that included daily shows of Joseph, a 4 mile race, 2 hour parade, ski show, fireworks, good food, playing outside and oh....some cake and ice cream!  Here are some random pics from the fun times!

 Scott and Siri nearly finished with the race...it was Scott's BEST time...WAY TO GO!!!

 Signe and Kinley at the parade.

 Siri, Kari and Josiah.

 Scott and Soren walked in the parade to advertise Joseph!

 I am "one!"

 Signe, Sara and Josiah.

 Love those thighs.....

 Soren keeping his 'equipment' clean!

 Kinley had absolutley NO interest in presents!! However, the Penn cousins made this blanket for her with no help from adults.....that's pretty awesome!

 Kinley was more interested in the bug car than anything!

 Kari just tasting the frosting for the cupcake making/decorating activity!

 This cupcake tastes pretty good mom....

 Kari being like 'baby Kinley!'

 I love this picture because it just daily life while eating with Roo....she's got her feet up, enjoying a meal!



It's just amazing to me how time has flown!  Kinley, you are a blessing to us!  We prayed for you for so long and have been blessed by you!  God has loaned us one special girl to raise up for His kingdom!  I can't wait to see where you go and what you do....but am loving this stage of your life!  We love you!



Joseph

Soren made his theatre debut this past weekend in our church's production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat!  They having been practicing for the past 8 weeks and it showed!  They did an amazing job and had a wonderful time!  Soren may have caught the theatre bug as he is already asking what they are going to do next year!  :)  It was a blast for Soren to hang out with his Daddy every night and be up on stage!

11 months old







At 11 months old Miss Kinley is such a joy!  She is loving being outside, bubbles, the lake, swinging, merry-go-rounds, chasing he brother and most recently attempting to scale anything and everything! She is now eating all table foods and only as a bottle at bedtime!  She is napping/sleeping wonderfully.....which of course makes for a happy mama!
