Our little lizard friend

I walked outside on monday and saw this lizard staring at me. He was just sitting on our plastic chairs. Ainslee was amazed she kept wanting me to pick it up,YEAH RIGHT. But I did not mind taking pictures of it. I could not get Tyler out of the sandbox but when he finally did come he thought it was the greatest thing in the world. He being the boy that he is wanted to touch it. Good thing it was a fast runner. Tyler could not catch it so he tryed to trick it. He went to get some water. See third picture



Now of course it ran from the water and Tyler's eagerness. So..... He caught a worm to feed it. Now the lizard did not let Tyler get close enough to give him the worm. But he was happy that he at least got to pick up the worm.
And we let the lizard go about his buissness.

My little book worm!

I have absolutely fell in love with the twilight book series. I was reading one of them one day and got up to do something. I turn around and Ainslee is "reading" my book. She loves to do everything that I do. Maybe if I read more often she will grow to love books too.

sprinkler fun with the cousins

Tammy came to see us recently when her husband was out of town. We decided it was time to get a sprinkler. The kids loved it well Ainslee and Amy did. Tyler decided he needed a gallon of sunscreen and got a majority of it in his eyes. Mikala is hiding somewhere I don't think she is liking the idea of running through water yet.


Ainslee loves water if she can get wet she will do it. So giving her permission made it even better. She loves to get dirty and have a good time.

Claire was loving walking around in her swimming suit. I don't think she actually got wet but she sure is cute though.

Wekend in Columbia

Nana and Pops with all the grandkids. They had so much fun

We went to Columbia this past weekend to say goodbye to Jared and to spend time with family. Jared left yesterday to go to Chile and get married to the girl that he has been talking to for a long time. We don't know how long he will be there so we had to get a big family picture before he left.

The kids had a ball playing with all there cousins and seeing conference together as a family was also fun.
