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!

Chore Chart

For family home evening the other night we made our Summertime chore chart.

This is the most helpful tool for our family!

It turned out great boys!!!

Happy Birthday Sweet Livia!

For Livia's Third Birthday we all went to Lagoon to Celebrate!

Tyler gave her a Dora bat and ball.

Our boys love Liv just like a little sister!

Thomas gave her a soccer ball.

Thanks guys for a great day together!

Ice Skating

We have been doing a family activity program through Shriner's Hospital.

Last Saturday Brad, Tyler, Thomas and I went Ice Skating.

Who knew that this could be an activity that the four of us could do together!

Tyler started out by wanting to try it all by himself.  

He quickly learned that he needed help.

Guess who stepped up to help his big brother...

littler brother Thomas!!!

Tyler enjoyed skating in his chair so much more!

Thomas found great use in Tyler's walker...

helping him skate without falling down!

That day Tyler met a new friend, a girl named Kate.  

They hit it right off!

She pushed him everywhere he told her to go.  

Tyler was lit from within.  It was a beautiful thing to watch!

Thank you Shriner's for an experience that we will never forget!
