My little monkey..

The heat doesn't affect this child too much, as long as she's in the shade doing what she want's to do.. and she loves playing on her swingset

She loves to start at the fence behind her and run and jump and swing..

A little outdoor fun..

Nothing like skateboarding down the sidewalk

Perfect landing in the grass

Happy Father's Day !!

Me and the kiddos surprised Mica with an edible bouquet.. He loved it, and I have to say it was quite yummy !

First tooth

This morning Micayla jumped out of bed and said her tooth came out. It has been soo loose the past couple of days but too tiny for me to be able to pull out. She has wiggled it like crazy and pushed it forward with her toung and it finally came out. She was super happy about it, especially since she goes for a cleaning today. She said she didn't want the dentist to pull it.

Here's the tooth in the baggy, super hard to see but it's in the lower left corner.
This child has little teeth :)

Swim Ranch 2009

Micayla took swim lessons again this summer at the Swim Ranch. She loves to swim and couldn't wait to get back out there. Mica and I are so proud of her and how good she can swim, both on top and under water. Maybe one day she'll be an olympic swimmer, maybe :) if not, at least I'll know she can take care of herself in the water.

Here she is waiting patiently to jump off the diving board into 10ft. of water..

Here she is doing her back float alone..

And finally, after a week of lessons she get's her certificate.

We love the Swim Ranch and all they do.

5th grade field day, k-4 teacher appreciation, Banner chapel, K-4 field day and 5th grade award ceremony

Aca in the sack race on field day. Nothing like end of year fun!

Micayla having lunch in her room for teacher appreciation day.. we had cake and balloons too..

This is Aca and his banner he made for banner chapel. One of the most touching and beautiful chapels I've ever attended.

Micayla is super pumped and super wet at field day

Micayla and Eva, one of her best girl-friends at field day

Below, Aca and a couple of friends after the ceremony.. Shawn and Adam

This was Aca getting his award for computers.. he also got one from Kim Darr in music. They were not handed to the kids, they were all placed in an envelope along with their report cards etc. Congrats Aca.. we are very proud of you.. I am teary eyed that this is your last year of elementary but am happy to know that you are growing up to be an awesomely sweet and talented young man.

Picture of Mica's cousin-as promised

Mica's cousin Zach just graduated from Fayetteville High.. This is one of his cakes.. I couldn't get a picture of the whole thing because it was big... This one was marble, and the second one was just chocolate, and it was good!! Congrat's Zach, We love you!!

Below is Zach in the middle, and to the left is Mica's brother Travis and then Mica..

The rainbow below was in the sky right before we left so everyone was running outside to see it. It was a full rainbow, but once again I just had my phone so I couldn't get the full affect. I don't think I could have with a camera either. It was perfect and beautiful and a perfect reminder of God's promise.
