Aaron took the boys to a ward father and son campout this evening. Noah and Cameron were ecstatic! I grabbed a bunch of junk from the store for all the manly snacking needs. The girls and I hit the mall for dinner and back to Christine's house for some girls camp craft prep and a movie.
The kids loved their week at kids camp with Joey. They have "visited" many countries around the world...South Africa, China, Mexico, France, and our U.S's Hawaii. It's also been very nice having some one on one time with Mary and Cameron. Until next year...Aloha!
We had Madeline and Andrew over while today while Noah and Nikki were at kids camp. Mary and Madeline painted and played chopped. Cameron and Andrew played outside and did tricks on the tramp. I just love these good friends.
I love that Cameron replaces the word 'I' with the word 'my' like when he said, "My found a rollie pollie!" today. It's so cute I have a hard time correcting him.
Noah and Nicole Started kids camp this morning. Mary, Cameron and I went to Old Navy to get some summer clothes.
Then we headed to Joanna's pool for swim lessons for all four of them! We are just so blessed that Sarah chooses to teach our kids how to swim every year. This year I hope that Nicole will get a good jump start to becoming an independent swimmer. She was already much more daring when it came to going under the water than last year. The kids did great and they had lots of fun swimming together after lessons.
It's a special day. I think about all the special men in my life...especially my kind and gentle father, loving and devoted husband, my wise and talented father-in-law and my amazing and good brothers and brother-in-laws. I feel so blessed to have been surrounded by men who are all so honorable and Christ-like.
Noah has gotten several lego sets for birthdays and Christmases. Recently he's been taking the legos from various gifts and designing robots. I love seeing all his amazing creations.
Tonight Aaron and I slowed it down a bit and took the evening to celebrate our anniversary which was two days ago. We saw the movie Malificent and ate dinner. It was glorious. I can say that looking back it's pretty amazing to see what we've created and built, with God's help, in the last ten years.
