We love our Dad!

Rumpus in the Rainforest

Anna's class put on a play called "Rumpus in the Rainforest." She was an army ant. Each child had a speaking part and then sang a song with the others that had the same part as them. It was a cute play and they did a great job!

Saying her part.

Class picture at the end. I think she was just as excited for the cast party after the play where you get juice boxes, cookies, and chips! Good job Anna, you were awesome!

The circus came to our street!

I was watching a friends kids and they were all outside playing and decided to put on a circus! There was a little bit of everything and lots of fun! Tree climbing.

Bike riding.

Wheelbarrow races.

Hip hop dancing with jump ropes.

And lots of hula hooping! Such a fun afternoon at the circus. (Many events not pictured due to the fact that the adult to child ratio was 1:7)

A much needed laugh

Mac has been working on taking his clothes off in the morning. He does great with the pants but as you can see, his methods with the shirt are interesting to say the least. The other morning I came upstairs to find him running around laughing like this. He didn't want me to take it off. He even did a little dance with it on - laughing the whole time.

Mid-Thirties

McKay has officially entered his mid-thirties. He had a great birthday (I think.) At least the kids had a great time celebrating his birthday. We went running (totally his own idea, must be worried about his metabolism at 35) and did a little shopping (new electronic device, hat, and jeans were purchased - none of which I am allowed to purchase without his input :).) Afterward we went to Toppers Pizza, a family favorite. McKay with some of his gifts.

We decided to keep the theme of pizza and made some pizza cakes. The girls had a great time decorating them. We love McKay sooo much! He is an amazing husband and father.

Yuba City

We had a great (and fast) trip to Yuba City to see Todd's family. The drive up there was trying to say the least (let's just sum it up by saying Brad slept for 20 minutes of the over seven hour drive.) We burned some energy right away at swimming pool even though it was late. The kids jumped right in even though it has been a few months since we have been swimming.

Brad STILL awake. He did sleep pretty good that night. I don't think my blood pressure could have handled anything less.

The kids had a great time playing with their cousins and watching TJ get baptized. The little motorcycle was a huge hit.

Mac wasn't so sure but he thought it was pretty cool.

We drove home really late at night and Brad slept the whole way. Despite spending almost as much time in the car as we spent there it was a great trip!
