Raspberries...finally

Last July a co-worker of mine invited us over to pick raspberries from her patch!  It was  HIT with Soren.  Because our good friends live close to my co-worker we drive by her house alot!  Well, Soren has been asking to pick raspberries rather frequently since last summer.  My response was often, "No Soren it's JANUARY, we can't pick raspberries until summer."  Well, we got the call this week to pick raspberries and are loving them! They are oh so good on vanilla ice cream, cereal or just as a snack!  Here are a few pics!



Preference...

Kinley's preferred way of napping these days!!

Milk...

This morning Soren asked me this morning, "Mom, are you feeding Kinley chocolate or white milk?"

Beach bums

This past Friday we were able to go to our beloved summer swimming beach!!!  It was Kinley's inguaral run at it and she immensely enjoyed it.....as you can see she and Abbott (9 mos) napped well together as the other kids played hard in the water!!  Hopefully there will be many more naps by the young ones and happy swimmers with the older ones!!

4th of July....

This weekend was filled with a nice balance of long naps and fun activities!!!  Here are a few pics!

 Daddy's 'motorboat' was working overtime this weekend!

 Partial Daniel and Newberg families!

 The new lifejacket allowed Soren to swim by himself and go down the slide by himself!! Pure joy!!!

 He even picked a few strawberries!

 4 generations of Newberg's!  Including Grandma Violet, Kinley's middle name is after her!

 My firecrackers at the Spicer parade!

 First time with 'poppers!'

 Sparkler fun!!

Kinley enjoying the fun!!



Lost...

Me: Soren, where are your listening ears? (said sternly)

Soren: Well Mom (dramatic pause), I just can't find them today!

Ugghhhh............

Summer days....

Yesterday, the it finally felt like summer! The sun was warm and the nice breeze made being outside very tolerable.  If you happened to drive by our house you could have gotten your trike/scooter or car washed by Soren himself!!  Kinley was learning how to 'supervise!'
