We have a rock band!

The kids were playing after church Sunday and this is what they were up to so I just had to take a video. Too cute. Unfortunately I think Rebekah has her father's singing abilities. =) By the way Rebekah asked me today if girls got old. I told her yes unfortunately girls get old too. She was awfully sad about that. So am I though! Why can't we all just stay young forever?

Happy 30th B-Day Dwayne!

Saturday was Dwayne's 30th birthday. His mom put on a big surprise party for him complete with the airplane theme, airplane races, pinnate, shish kabobs, and tons of friends and family. It was a great time and unfortunately I can't tease him for being an old man now because I'm right behind him! Another plus, there was so much food leftover we got to go back for Father's day and help eat leftovers. Yeah for me, only had to make a Father's day breakfast. ;)

Update, Swim Lessons, and Isaac's B-day

So Shell says I need to update my blog, and I'm up early because we took Dwayne to the airport this morning so that he could pick up a plane in CA. So here ya go Shell. I don't have any pictures of the wedding weekend because I let Dwayne take the camera to scout camp with him. If you want to see some click here for the wedding and here for the recital. Sharice took some cute pics of the wedding and of Rebekah at the dance recital and put them on her blog. Thanks Auntie Frog!
Dwayne always has fun with the boys and I think this time he would have had more fun if he hadn't had a stomach bug during half the week. There was lots to tell but the highlight of the trip I think would have to be the dinner hike they went on that ended up being a 9 hour "adventure" landing Dwayne in the med tent for the night for dehydration. They didn't get back until after midnight, but "no, they weren't lost" Dwayne new exactly where they were. Fortunately they had someone in camp waiting for them so they had a search party out for them that night instead of the next morning. To Dwayne's credit he did know exactly where they were on the map and had two flashlights with him, they just weren't planning on staying out after dark.
As soon as Dwayne came back we went over to his parents house to celebrate Isaac's second birthday. I decided after having the kids for a whole week by myself. I didn't want to have to worry about having people over for a birthday party so it worked out great. Abby got to come over too so he had a fun time. He didn't really understand blowing out the candles, but Rebekah helped him, and once he figure out the presents were for him he had a great time opening them. Here's his favorite present that he got. A giant truck that he sits in. Thanks Neal!


Rebekah and Abby both graduated from their swim lessons yesterday. I think they were the best swimmers in their class, and both got perfect scores on almost everything. So if they are in any more lessons this summer it will be on to level two! And here was their favorite part of swim lessons. Every Thursday is SLIDE DAY!

Chase and Lauren's wedding

Host unlimited photos at slide.com for FREE!
We had quite the exciting weekend here with my cousin Chase getting married to Lauren. (click here to find out more about them) All of my siblings made it into town for it, so my house was very busy this last weekend especially with Dwayne leaving for scout camp that morning too! I took Rebekah with me as my date since Dwayne couldn't make it and left the boys at his parents. It would have been nice to dance with him at the reception, but Rebekah had a fun time running around with Lauren's little girl Emmy and dancing all over the place! I guess I'll just have to get used to being a scout widow for a little bit. It was perfect weather for the wedding and a beautiful ceremony performed by Lauren's father. The couple looked so happy together. Congratulations and we wish you the best!

Rebekah and Abby started swim lessons this morning and there have been other things going on but I don't have any pictures yet so when I do I'll post them.
