see mom...

...we DO take our kids to parades once in awhile!

This is the first one Ethan remembered and he loved it! Especially the firetrucks and police. Lovely day in B'ham!

first lemonade stand this year!

awana awards

The big kids completed another successful year of Awana. We all attended an awards ceremony last night to celebrate their accomplishments. They both had wonderful leaders and memorized lots of verses. They love Awana! So while I'm thankful for a break in our busy schedule - they are already counting down the days until it starts again in September!

cousins camp 2012

This past weekend marked our 6th annual Cousins Camp. The five "Dobbs" kids and our seven little ones  met at our Grandmother's resort in Lake Chelan. As you can see...we had a wonderful time!

Mother's Day...

...at its finest!

spring soccer

 The big kids played their final games today of the spring soccer season. They both had great seasons and played with some neat kids. I'm so thankful they are able to play team sports and form lasting friendships from these activities.

And this is Ethan getting all settled to watch the games. He's fine as long as he has lots of rice cakes!
