Happy Birthday Breanna!

Breanna enjoying her new baby doll bathtub and practicing putting up 3 fingers.

She brushed her teeth about 6 times on her birthday with her new battery powered toothbrush. Goal accomplished! :-)

We had a last minute Slip 'n' Slide party in the front yard. We all enjoyed cake, watermelon, and pink lemonade in the 100 degree weather.

We used plenty of dish soap and water to pick up speed down the 50' long sheet of plastic. A running start made it even better!

Our sweet little 3 year old!

She had lots of fun "dressing up" with new jewelry and and a dress.

Our little morning glories reading together...

Sarah's smile lights up her whole face.

We had so much rain this week and the kids had a blast running around in it. I (Michelle) remember just loving to run in the rain as a child. I thought it felt "Delicious"!

It was really pouring down!

Matthew is a great big brother and Sarah loves him dearly.

Sarah and I (along with my sister Krista) visited our grandparents in Wisconsin in March. The snow was just beautiful!

Olivia has always enjoyed picking flowers so this is like a dream come true for her.

Breanna likes to play house and dress up in all sorts of different ways. The blocks are her version of "brownies" that she enjoys serving to us all.

Olivia and Breanna enjoying a field full of flowers!Making homemade ice cream with some aunts and uncles on Fathers Day. Delicious! Sarah Grace is really enjoying the corn-on-the-cob experience with Daddy. Olivia likes to play "house" with Sarah Grace and use a basket for a crib. Sarah loves it! Olivia's first independent bike ride! She told me it is one of her favorite things to do.

In March we vacationed in Blue Ridge, GA. where this photo was taken on the porch swing of our cabin. This was a truly enjoyable time for each one in the family. (above)
Matthew and Olivia were hiking to see Ruby Falls in Georgia. They're troopers!
Matthew doesn't very often lack for enthusiasm over food! He is pictured above at a church lunch enjoying fried chicken.
Michelle and Sarah on the balcony at Disney's Beach Club Resort. Tim, Michelle, and Sarah had a couple of days away together.
In May we had some really windy weather and all went down to Lake Minnehaha right down our road and enjoyed the waves!
This picture was taken in December '06 when Aunt Becky came and helped the children create some wonderful gingerbread houses.
