Lame blogger


I'd like to apologize for being a lame blogger.
Excuse #1 Five children
Excuse #2 Lack of technical skills
I know these excuses are lame so I will try to improve and update my blog so that Tracy doesn't delete me. Thanks for your patience.
The following are new posts although not in chronological order.

Camping with Grumpa Fowler

The kids had a fun time fishing and camping with Grumpa Fowler in Utah. Look at those fish!



Birthday picnic in Utah

The kids could only hold off so long from getting soaked in the fountain. The water was way too tempting!




It was wonderful to have Nana and Grandpa with us for the wedding activities. Here they are with all their great grand children and their favorite grand daughter.





Memorial Day

We spent part of Memorial weekend at the beach with our good friends the Reyes family. Cooper loves to eat sand. Yummy.

Snuggle Bugs

Here's Paige and Bridger being snuggle bugs and watching morning cartoons. It was great to have Paige home in the morning to help with the little boys. I am sure going to miss her now that she is moving to all day 1st grade.


Soccer

Both Paige and Brinley had a great Soccer season. Trevin coached Paige's team. Here she is with her friend Morgan. Brinley had her last season playing with her good friend Jenna. They only had 2 losses over the last 4 seasons. They were definitely the team to beat. We will definitely miss the coaches and the other Soccer families we have gotten to know. Brinley is moving on to play with the Lady Vikings in Valpo. The Duneland girls travel team plays on Sundays. After recieving much pressure to play on Sunday, (the coach even suggested we change religions) we found a girls league that does not have Sunday games--it's just a little further to drive. Thanks Mom and Dad for instilling the importance of keeping the Sabbath day even when the world tries to justify breaking it.


Easter


We had a beautiful but still chilly Easter. Spring does not come fast enough in Indiana.

Clean up time



Trying to multi-task by washing the baby and the dishes at the same time. Cooper was such a big help. Definitely a time saver.

Tanner's 10th Birthday Party


Tanner with his friends Michael, Lyle and Luke for his 10th birthday party. They ate pizza and then went to the theater to see the new Narnia movie.

Birthday Party at the Park

We were all together in Utah for Eric & Cindy's wedding. That Sunday we had three birthdays to celebrate. Paige, Maddi, and Cooper all took turns blowing out their candles on their individual yummy chocolate cakes.


Trevin took both girls to their Girl Scout Daddy daughter dance. He bought the girls flowers and took them out to dinner. They had a great time dancing the night away.
