The kids have been really busy lately. Here is a look at the fun stuff that has been going on.
Maddie and Jake have started swim lessons. They had a hard time at first but are now loving it!

This summer is going to be fun! They LOVE playing outside and the swings seem to be everyones favorite.

MADDIE...
Well Maddie has been a busy girl. She has lost a top tooth, started swimming, tried out for a drama play at school and LOVES to play games. Her favorite games are Yahtzee and card games. She is very good at both but a little competitive...I wonder where she gets that?(dad)
Here she is showing me that she can push her tooth up with her tongue...

and here it is gone!

Maddie is a book LOVER! She read 3 chapter books last week in 2 days. No wonder her favorite princess is Belle:)

Maddie got a part in her school play Pinoccohio. She was a toy doll and she did a great job. She only had one line but was loud and smiled. She wants to try out for the next play in the fall...Maybe all of her drama will be usefull after all...

The whole cast

Her school had a Jump Rope for Heart fundraiser. Maddie got very excited that she could help raise money for people. She got donations and practiced at home for the big day. She did great and helped raise money for heart attacks and strokes.

JAKE...
Jake is busy as ever. He has started swimming, is playing sports in a sports class and is loving playing outside. For some reason I don't have too many pics of him this time but here are a few that fit him.
Here is Jake riding his skateboard down the driveway. He thinks this is so fun!

and then he crashes-no worries though. He only cries for 2 seconds and says he is hard core:)

LUKE...
Luke is getting SO big! He is starting to slim down a little now that he is walking and gets into EVERYTHING!! I finally had to put the garbage in the pantry after he took everything out of it. He loves to watch his brother and sister and tries to do what they do. Case in point...
Luke got into the Jeep and the first thing he did was stand on the seat...wonder where he would get that idea?

He loves this little car. He gets in and out, in and out...

I think his favorite is the swing though. If he throws a fit everytime I get him out it may be a long summer.

this pic is about a month old but I thought is was a great action shot. He did this a lot!

I thought this one was great! People don't see this often because he is a very happy kid but the fits they are a comin!

Learning to walk is fun! Look how big I am!

This is a big no-no at our house. Josh doesn't like him to have the remote. He is SO excited when it is left in his reach.

This is a rare site. He is SO busy that him sitting still needs attention.

Gotta love spaghetti right?
