Girls in wedding dress

My favorites are the first one (top left) for Lindsey and the first one of Erin (below)
In September 2008, I let the kids watch our wedding video. Of course, they thought that they were there, and kept saying "Where am I?" They just didn't want to believe that they weren't at the wedding. Then, afterwards, they got to put on my dress. How adorable, isn't it?

Girls in pool with clothes on

I told Lindsey that if she said 'no' to me one more time, that I'd throw her into the pool with her clothes on (we were joking around). So, then I said to her, "Will you say 'no' to me again?" and of course she said, "No", before she realized that she actually said 'no'. So, I took her to the pool, and she was laughing all the way, until I pushed her in. She was FURIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I took great delight in seeing the disbelief in her face when I actually pushed her in. She thought I ruined her princess nightgown. Then, I told her that it was just water, and then she was fine. After that, I pushed Erin in, and they laughed hysterically for a long time. Then, they swam for about 2 hours in their clothes. I joined them, with shorts and a tank top. Now, they would like to have at least one day per year to swim with their clothes on. They thought it was such a treat.

Daddy swinging thru trees

Kelvin had to really fight the urge to scream like a litte girl. He knew I would take great pleasure in that, but his reaction was still funny and scared me enough to decide I wasn't going on it.

Joseph on Tarzan swing

Here's another video of Joseph on the swing. Boy, that kid is brave!! He went up 55 feet.

Erin on Tarzan swing at the Treehouses

Here is some video of our trip.

Beautiful Shadows

If you can catch the sun just right, you can see some of the most beautiful silohettes you've ever seen. I wish I had grabbed my camera just moments before, but I really enjoyed watching my children playing with each other, but just watching their shadows. Finally I grabbed my camera, maybe 5 minutes too late to show you exactly what I saw, but this helped to capture those memories.
