Summer is here...

Well another school year is almost finished...the kids have their picnic on Friday, May 30th. Technically they go through June 3rd - but there are ready to be finished. I can't believe Natalie will be in the 6th grade and Nathan will be in the 4th grade. They are growing up so fast! We have already been at the pool some and looking forward to more lazy days at the pool. We really enjoy these times watching the kids play and visiting with good friends. The kids are doing their part to keep me busy for the summer. Natalie is going to be a "mother's helper" for a couple of ladies in our church. She is too young to babysit, but a mother's helper is just that - she will be at the house and play with the kids so the mom can get things done. She is very excited about this. Also, she is going to take sewing classes. She has to get this gene from Tim's mom, not me. Both of my kids have this craft bug - they want to sew, crochet, etc. Nathan is going to participate on the Hammerhead Swim Team this year - he loves the competition. Also, he is going to take some art lessons. He was so excited when Tim said he could do this. The week of June 8th we are going to attend VBS with their cousin and I guess I will be helping my sister with crafts - I just can't get away from it. This is pretty much it for the summer and then in August we have our family vacation to Washington, DC. I will try to post some pictures next time.

Hey, if she loves to craft - so do my girls. I'll try to find some crafty things for them to do together this summer! :) We are looking forward to being blessed by having her here!

wish we were in LR - I'd LOVE a mother's helper! Mr. Intensity keeps me busy.
