APPLES!!!

My boys LOVE fruit, but they love apples the very most!  Haynes specifically loves apples and he will eat the WHOLE thing, core and all!  Haynes usually eats at least one apple a day.  When we go to the grocery store he loves to go pick an apple as his treat.  As mom, I couldn't ask for a better treat! 

Haynes and Ella

Both of our boys really love their sister, but Haynes has recently really started enjoying her.  He refers to her as "Ewwa", loves playing with her (cried going to take a nap the other day because he wanted to play with Ella), is VERY protective!  Brooke came to watch Haynes for me the other morning and Haynes lost it when Asher got to take a nap in Ella's bed.  (Not our greatest moment, but does demonstrate his protective heart for her)  It is so fun watching both boys love her so well, but so differently at the same time!  We are so blessed by our sweet kids!

Cold Lake Water

We finally figured out how to post a video!  

Here's a sample of the lake water!

Skiing at the lake

The whole way to the lake Port kept asking, "When do I get to ski?"  On Sunday afternoon we went down to the Lippoldt's cabin and let the kids ski.  They all did a great job and had a great time!  Port is truly an encourager.  Every time someone went to ski he would cheer them on as loud as he could.  When he fell he would stand up cheering...he experiences joy in all things!

Memorial Day at the Lake

Ella's first day on the lake

Brian's wetsuit...laugh now, but the water was FREEZING!

"Ribbit"

The boys...Haynes got his finger pinched in the gas

We went with our whole family to the lake for Memorial Day weekend.  We are so blessed to have such a great family!  We love spending weekends at the lake with our family, so many fun memories.  This weekend the water was still really cold, so Brian found a cheap wetsuit.  One day I will learn to put video on the blog, because I have some fabulous video of Jade and Brian getting in the water!  What great daddies!

Slip and Slide

Millie LOVED it!

Three Musketeers!

The kids loved the slip and slide!  Allison and Millie came to pick up Beau and decided to join in on the fun.  I think Haynes was the only one who figured out how to actually slide, but they loved the water.  We can't wait to have another pool day again!

Playing with Beau

"Cheers!" with Cheetos

Our picnic in the tent

Beau's favorite "truck"

We got to have another play date with Beau a few weeks ago.  We spent most of the morning in the front yard riding every "truck" we own.  We have a great neighborhood, where there isn't much traffic. The boys had a GREAT time!  After that we decided to go to Lolli and Champ's to have a picnic and slip and slide.  We all love Haynes little buddy Beau!
