4th of July--Summer 2010

We celebrated July 4th on July 3rd this year...since the 4th landed on a Sunday.
We had the privledge of hanging out with Gene's cousin, Rachel Izu and her 3 ADORABLE boys, who live just an hour north of us. We did a homemade slip n slide and ate a yummy BBQ. Then we headed to Mason in the evening for a fireworks show. It was a fun day! THANKS Izu's for hangin with us! :)
CUTE CUTE BABY!! Jonathan Izu...he loved playin with the big boys!

Camping at Winton Woods Summer 2010

Gene found this wonderful campground only 25 mins from our house that has a lake for fishing and paddle boating. It has a splash park with playground and picnic area, a petting zoo, and cute little cabins to stay in...in case it rains! :) The kids had a ball! Two ducks would come waddling over to our campsite several times a day looking for leftovers and the kids thought that was the best thing ever!
William & Isaac talking to the ducks...

William turns 4! June 14th 2010

My sweet baby boy is growing up. Sometimes we like that fact and other times...not so much. He still likes lots of hugs and loves, and even asks me to "cozy with him" (hold him on my lap on the couch), but one day he'll start resisting all that lovey-dovey stuff, just like the rest of 'em. I can't bare the thoughts of that, but I'll just have to chase him down like I do the rest to make sure they get their daily dose of hugs and loves from Mom.

William is WAY into Star Wars these days. Hasn't even seen the movie. But loves for Austin to read him the Star Wars books from the library. And he asks me on a regular basis "Why would Aniken want to be on the dark-side Mom?" :)

He also loves to play UNO, bowl, swim, play Wii, have light-saber battles, and have someone read him stories, but his favorite thing is usually doing whatever his older brothers and sister are doing!

William can write his name and knows most of his ABC'S & 123's. He memorizes books and can "read" them to you without actually knowing the words. And he LOVES to BOOGIE....the boy can dance. And we all know who he got that from! ;)

We LOVE YOU William!






Daddy make the AMAZING cake...of course!

Pool Days Summer 2010

We LOVE our neighborhood pool! We go everyday except Sunday. What would we do all summer without the pool? ....Mama would probably go a little crazy! ;)
Here is William doing a SUPER JUMP! Go William!

Isaac learned how to dive this year! Way 2 Go Isaac!
