David plays basketball

David loves to play basketball with his big brother Isaac! He begs for the big ball when they play outside. Mom thought it would be a great idea to get David his own nerf ball. Here he is playing with his new hoop! 

Isaac's first swim team practice

Here are pictures of Isaac's first competitive swim team practice.....the Smoky Hill Sharks! Paul has been taking him each Monday and Friday evening (with David tagging along). Isaac loves practices, but does not like the cold water. Big brother Ethan gave Isaac some pointers about how to stay warm in the colder water. Isaac can't wait for his first real swim meet.

Elizabeth's new haircut

Elizabeth has been asking for a hair cut for over a year now. Here she is loving her shorter style.

Family lunch at Red Robin

Here we are having lunch at Red Robin after helping clean up the long-course pool with the Aces team. Isaac enjoyed his corndog and salad, Ethan a hamburger and fries, Elizabeth mac-n-cheese and fries, and David a corndog and mandarin oranges.

Boys love to build

These are a few interesting things that Ethan and Isaac chose to build during quiet time in their room. We love when they dig out the trio blocks, because their imaginations start flowing.

David helps himself

We have learned that David helps himself all of the time. We don't know if it is typical of a 4th child, but David doesn't wait or ask for things he wants, he finds a way to get them himself. As you see in the pictures, David has decided that he wanted some Oreos. He dug through the snack area under our cabinet and found these.                                        

David is our big climber. He will move chairs, big or small, to get to things he wants. He can usually be found climbing on top of our kitchen table to grab bananas, pears, or avocados. This morning, he chose to bite the tops off of several of the avocados I bought yesterday.

Teacher Appreciation Week

These are flowers that Elizabeth picked out for her preschool teachers. We wanted to show them that we really appreciate everything they have done over the past year of school.
