Tie dying for play group

One of the girls in our ward is an expert tie dyer. I've only ever done the tie dye baths with one or two solid colors. But Anitra taught us a new squirt bottle technique. The kids we're so excited to make shirts for the 4th of July. But us adults were even more excited!
You can see pics of the final product in the 4th of July post. I made a pillow case dress for Kaki. It turned out so cute!! Lorin did her shirt all by herself. She really had fun. Christian was pretty indifferent, he had more fun playing on the slip n slide.

1st Step

The hole for our house got dug, and they poured the foundation. I can't believe we're building again. But we're so excited.

Day at the Smithsonian











Family outing with Mikes squad

It really is funny that Mike's squad has a family outing twice a year. Why is it funny? Well out of the 15 on his squad, 4 are married, 3 have kids, 1 has more then one kid and 1 has kids older then 2. Yup that's right. Mike is one of the youngest on his squad yet he's been married the longest and has the most kids. So why the FAMILY outing? No idea, but it's a great excuse for him to have a paid day with the family at an awesome park!!
We went to the Potomic Falls National Park. About an hour from DC. It was a beautiful day.

We played some baseball. Christian has gotten into outdoor sports more. His #1 is still his nerf guns, but he loves to throw the football around and swing away at the baseball.
Lorin played with the bigger guys. They did a great job keeping her entertained with no other kids close to her age.


Christian played croquet with one of the girls on Mike's squad. It really was great, like 8 adult babysitters keeping our kids entertained. :)

Mike did his part, entertaining with his juggling skills.

The outing was catered, no clean up and no cooking! The best. Mike works with some great people. And he really enjoys what he does.
