Visiting Grandma
We’ve been at grandma’s house since Thursday evening, having fun. Friday the boys played with their cousins and Saturday we had a joint birthday party for Dallin, Lily, and Brennan since their birthdays are within 10 days of each other.
This morning we went to church. After a lunch of homemade chicken and noodles we rested a bit and then headed to the Complex in Sikeston to play with cousins again. We stayed for 2 hours and played on the playground, with kites and frisbees. I took lots of pictures of the kids so I wanted to post them on here to let you all in on our fun. Enjoy!

Bad Mommy
We had a day trip to the beach last week for my friend Cindy’s birthday. It was our family, the Chlarson family, Joni and her boys, and Lex and Barb. So, I was so busy chatting and soaking up the sun that I neglected to put sunscreen on my kids until lunchtime. Skyler and Gavin fared fine. They are little tan boys–little brown beans (as Joni would put it). Brennan pinked up a little on his face and shoulders. Hunter, who is my redheaded, freckled guy didn’t come out so well.
His right arm looks like it’s had a 1st degree burn, and it is definitely going to scar a large area of his arm. I took pictures of it after the blisters started popping 2 days after. (Actually, they were helped along by Skyler who purposely twisted his brother’s arm to hurt him since he knew Hunter’s sunburn hurt. He was punished severely too.) The 2nd picture is from this morning–5 full days after our trip. It has crusted over like a scab and most of the pus is gone. Every time I look at him I get a twinge of guilt. But I think I’ve learned my lesson. I’ll NEVER forget to sunscreen them again!
Oh yes, and Brennan had his 2nd haircut. He looks so much older! He’ll be 1 on July 9th. I’ll post pictures later since he’s sleeping right now.

Camping Trip
We left for Stockton Lake Friday evening for our first weekend camping trip this year. We didn’t get to go last year, so we stayed through Monday evening. We all had a great time and got to spend it with lots of our good friends! Our group was us, Lex and Barb, Chuck and Michelle, Mike and Charlie, and Tyler, Paige and baby Beau. We got to go fishing, to the beach, to the playground, swimming and night fishing. The food was awesome! We played games and visited, and Barb and I even found time to go back into town for a baby shower!

Hunter is very excited to go to Kindergarten next school year and told me he wants to attend ALL day! I think I’ll welcome the break since I won’t be home-schooling Skyler half a day either. Two kids gone at school all day! What will I do with all the free time? Hmmm…. probably spend time with the other two!
