Celebrating Life

Our kitten Bello is growing up. He is just a sweet and fun, little thing. After shutting down my planter to his potty activities, I got him a litterbox and even put a little of the dirt from the planter he was using to carry over his scent-- but noooo.... he decided to go like a dog on the lawn. It was hilarious. So I, as gross as it sounds, picked up his business and put it in the litterbox and walked him through the motions of burying it. Well finally-- that worked!

Here he is just chilling in a tree.

One of the kids found this water sprinkler toy in the garage. Anastasia thought it was the neatest thing. Here we have a pool and this is what gave her the biggest smile to date.

She loved it! And so did her brothers.

They played and played.

Paul has discovered the skateboard. After watching his brother Caleb he is now trying to find his balance.

Nothing beats an ice-cream sandwich on a hot summer day! Especially after proving that you can swim!

Way to go Paul!

The other night we went over to my Mom and Sister's house to pick up her car. She gave it to us since Adam will soon be driving. Thank you Sis! It is a wonderful car and we are enjoying it! Since we were near one of our favorite family restaurants "Red Robin" and we just got a free car, and it was Dennis' two year anniversary, and we just brought home our two new children-- we thought it would be nice to celebrate with dinner. And all the kids did great and we were blessed with the best waiter I think we have ever had.

Tonight the kids rediscovered this. Anastasia loved being scared! Her laugh was so cute and tonight I got to see a playful side of her that I hadn't seen before.
