Beach Bums

Maddie was chasing the swans, the kids thought they were so awesome.

Dylan thinks he is pretty cool stuff. We had a great time.

Maddie the little sun goddess.



Here is a nice photo of the swan. They were really pretty.



Macy was so happy camping, she loved everything about it.


Splash Universe

We went to Shipshewanna last Friday with Oberlins. The kids had a blast playing, they were so tired when we left, they all fell asleep at 7pm that night.

This picture got blurrry, oops.

Dylan was showing off his muscles for the camera. He was nervous of the big slides at first, but then he loved them. He is the more cautious of our 3 kids.

Here we were enjoying Aunt Tina's birthday cake, Macy was in charge of picking out the cake.

The boys were racing down the slides.



Dylan was a little monkey on this toy. He loved it, when he could not reach with his legs he would just swing across the ropes.

Preschool Graduation

Dylan had his preschool graduation on Friday night. He did a great job. Grandpa and Grandma Gurtner, Nana and Mom and Dad all came to watch them perform skits from Old McDonald's Farm.
Here is Dylan with his friends Xavier, and Issac. All the boys will be at the same school next year.




Daddy had to leave early for work, but atleast he made it to the program.


Here he is during his part of the performance. He was Bah Bah Black Sheep.




Little Runners




The kids have been integued with my running that I have been doing this Spring in preparation for my mini Marathon on June 6th. So I got my distance in yesterday morning and decided to let them do the Relay for Life run at DeKalb Highschool. Maddie loved it, Dylan feel asleep on the way and then was super grumpy. It was good for them.

Fun at Kindergarten

Joel and his friends were getting ready to tie die.
Maddie was done and was off playing on the equipment.

She knew the answer to this question.


I have had the opportunity to help in Maddie and Joel class a few times this year. This week we made Tie Die shirts out on the playground. When they were done they got to go play on the playground. It is hard to believe they are almost done with school, it has went by so quickly.
