Day Trip....

...to Egypt! I have been doing preschool with the boys this summer. I let them pick the subject and I try to add in educational aspects. Adam decided that he wants to learn about different cultures and countries. On Thursday we did Egypt. Ginita and I took them to the park for a picnic of pita bread, hummus, and cous cous. Tyler loved it all but Adam was a little more picky. Then we made pyramids out of sugar cubes. It was a fun activity and we have more planned. Coming up in the next couple weeks we will be visiting the Netherlands, Argentina, Africa, Ecuador, Hawaii, and China just to name a few. Fun stuff!

Getting Big!

I can't believe I have 3 kids (plus a dog and hubby)! Love it.....but can't believe it. The end.

Chooo Chooo

We celebrated Cole Munroe's birthday at the Train Park last week. Adam and Tyler love going there. It is a cute little train that goes all around a big park. They are with our friends the Halls here.

Birthday Week

Both Adam and Tyler have birthdays within a few days of each other (the 26th and 23rd of July). This makes for an insane few days! We decided this year to have a small BBQ with the Forte's and Nedilckov's (our "family" here in Medford) on Sunday. Then we let Adam invite a few friends to the movies and McDonald's on his actually birthday. They saw "Despicable Me", which was cute. I can't believe my little boys are 5 and 2! Where has the time gone?!

At 5 Adam's favorite things are:

Learning (about anything! Dinosaurs, Colors, Math, Countries, etc.)

Reading

Watching Phineas and Ferb

Playing outside

Bossing around Tyler

Helping out Mommy and giving kisses

At 2 Tyler's favorite things are:

Coloring (on himself with markers)

Lotion (putting it in his hair on a regular basis)

Playing outside

Biting Adam

Eating (lettuce is a favorite, picked right out of the garden)

Giving the sweetest Hugs and Kisses

Pool Party Baby

For Anna Bell's birthday party the boys (and I, but I will not subject you to pictures) got to go swimming. Anna and Tyler actually share a birthday. The day was killer hot, I think in the 100's, and the water was fabulous. All those swimming lessons for Adam are really paying off. Thanks for a great party Anna!

Tia Ginita....

.....is very loved! We are incredibly happy to have her here with us for the next few months. When she is gone at school it feels like a member of our family is missing. Love you Ginita!!!

So Blessed
