Camping

We have so much fun with our friends camping. I am so glad we have there around to keep us company. I think Micah is actually warming his bum here at the fire... maybe not. I was the only one that remembered a camera or that had it handy all the time so I was not always the one taking the pictures. It is possible Dave is just heckling him here too :)
Cassie was working very had on a water hole... this is her sad face when the little one on the right broke a wall down... what do ya do? She recovered quickly and repaired it past perfect :)
Hannah's nap schedule got all screwed up while snuggling me she fell asleep.. I think I dosed off as well there for a sec. I welcome her snuggling me anytime.. have to hold on to those moments.
there is something wonderful about covering yourself in sand. The clean up after wards.. not so much!
We decided we need to try out the tent trailer so we packed up and headed about 45 minutes away to Laird Park. The van pulled the trailer like a champ and we love our trailer! Hannah did so well this camping trip we are going to take a few more! It was rather cold still at night so there was a lot of bundling up. A few of us were brave or stupid enough to jump off the small dam there and boy was the water cold, cold, cold! It took me several hours to warm back up. I was the only one in my family to take the jump. :)

Hannah's birthday




Hannah's party was simple, so was her cake. I was so tired from Cassie's I was not willing to do that again this round. Also Hannah is not old enough to truly care. She got a scooter which she loved and had spend much of her outside time on it! Trent and I said a little Happy Birthday to each other but that is as fancy as we go for each other.. too many other Birthdays to take care of.

Cassie's 5th Birthday

Barbie is still cool!
new big girl bike.. by the end of the day she was riding it so well I think the training will be going soon..
She absolutely loved her cake.. she better it was a lot of work!

Harder than I thought it would be but not the hardest thing I have ever done. It was fun to create it and now Micah is already planing what I can do for his.. oi! What was I thinking :)

Cassie had a fun day for her 5th Birthday, we all enjoyed the friends, food and fun! Next party is in 4 days... and the cake is not going to be this fancy.. I am thinking a giant frosted cookie!
For Trent and my birthday we will be taking the kids camping this next weekend.. we are so very excited to try out the tent trailer and roast smores! School is out on the 9th for the summer and I think I can safely say BOTH Emy and Micah are looking forward to a break.
Emy's will be doing extending school year which means she will go to school for 30 minutes twice a week, so that she can continue to progress in her reading, she has been working so hard and I am so proud of her!
