CANDY

This was my favorite part of the night was seeing Chase dig into his birthday cake!

You make us so happy brother!

We are so glad that you came to our family!

Tyler's New Bike

Through a program with Shriner's Hospital, called Cruisers For Kids, Tyler got his first bike.  He is so thrilled and loves to ride it.  He is able to do it all on his own.

He is so happy, and gets really silly when he rides it!

Look Mom... No Hands!!

Water For Sale

Tyler turns 10 this summer, and he now has the desire to make some money. 

(I think that it comes with the age.  

Several of his friends are doing jobs this summer to make money.)

So he and I brain stormed and came up with the idea to sell water at out local Farmers Market.

This was something that he absolutely can do!

Tyler asked Thomas to be his business partner.  Thomas was thrilled to be involved!

They earned $75.00  their first day!

I am so excited and proud of my boys!

Lagoon

Every Tuesday we go to Lagoon with our cousins.

This is the highlight of our week and my boys are always so excited to see Bella, Carly, and Chase!!

Thomas is old enough to help the little girls on the rides.

He is such a great helper!

The Newest City Worker

The other day when I looked outside to see where Thomas had gone I saw him out in the street working side by side with the city workers who were fixing a leek in a pipe in front of our house.

Thomas had seen what they were doing, gotten his tools from the garage, and dove right in to help.  These guys were so nice to let him participate.

Thomas, you make my heart happy.

Well done little brother!

Carnival

Our good friends, the Webster's, invited us to a carnival at David's work.

This is the second year that we have gone, and my boys always have a blast!
