The Zoo is new every single time!!

It doesn't matter how many times you go, you always notice something new. Especially when looking through your children's eyes! I truly enjoy my children's company, they're funny and joyful, and always enthusiastic! Matthew was really into reading the map this time! Sarah was thrilled to visit her old friend the walrus.

Holiday at Holliday Park!

It was a family hike day at Holliday Park, and it's been great to get out and enjoy the family together lately! It was the perfect amount of walking and talking...



Daddy went for a light hiking day!


I was proud of Matthew for keeping up, way to go Matthew!






They're both all limbs!! You're beautiful, Sarah!

It was a strike!

You gotta love all of the posturing that goes along with the actual rolling of the ball! It was a rainy Memorial Day, and Sarah had the great idea of going bowling! That's what Tim used to do on volleyball tournament weekends that were rained out!

Team Lein!




Sarah has really come a long way with her technique!






It's a long way down there, isn't it buddy?!

Gentlemen, Start your engines...

Okay, well maybe we didn't pay THAT much attention to the race, but it was still a great day! We had some friends over for the Indianapolis 500, I'd love to make it an annual tradition!



Synchronized swimming in it's finest hour!


Even Shumai had a friend....





There were some intense games of cornhole, uh... baggo, uhh that bean bag toss game!

Friendship, friendship....

Sarah and Matthew are both very social and outgoing, and it makes me proud to see them nurturing their friendships! For what are we without our friends?


Sarah and Julia out for a spin


Matthew and Jacob cruisin' for .... something, trouble, maybe?!

It will always grow back!!

Looking a little nervous...



She's growing up!... After having long hair her entire life, Sarah mustered up the courage to cut it all off!! Eight inches shorter, and everyone is happy! (Thank Goodness!)

What a pair of goofballs!...

It all started around 11:00 today, this is what happens when left to their own entertainment on the first day of summer break! Matthew and Sarah decided to "switch" for the day! They traded clothes, car seats, expressions, voices, seats at the table... And now as I write this, Matthew is upstairs in Sarah's bedroom, in her bed, with a pink nightgown on! I'm lovin' every minute of it, one of those days that it's great to be a Mom!! Look at the picture, doesn't Shumai look confused? And yes, Sarah is able to fit into Matthew's shorts!



This one speaks for itself....
