Two blessed boys

The boys are so blessed to have a big sister who loves them so much and has so much fun playing with them! She just loves playing with them. She rolls on the floor and lets them crawl all over her, she makes up games and "reads" to them. She is such a fun and loving big sister!

Here she is making a "magic carpet" for the boys to take them to see Peter Pan

Here she is making a house for them

Pool time is fun time

Summer is here and the pool is the place to be when the weather is HOT. (Thanks for the invite by the way). The boys didn't like it at first, but they got use to it. Zander liked it when I pulled him fast through the water and spun him around. He would smile and laugh a little. Connor didn't like that. He just wanted to float along and rest. Ellie is starting to do better, although she is still afraid. She doesn't fully trust her lift jacket (or her mom), but she is learning. She just has a lot of fun near the edge of the pool.

Round 2

You may remember that a few months ago I posted something about a wrestling match. Connor was the clear winner at that time, with Zander pinned down crying. This time, Zander decided he wanted what Connor had and he was just going to take it. As you can see here, Connor can dish it out, but he can't take it.

Can you see the joy on Zander's face as he pulls Connors hair?

And the winner is...Zander

It is done

The girls are waiting for it to be done

The finished product (there is a picnic table underneath the playhouse)

The play set is done and the kids are having fun! It took alot of hours of work from all the neighborhood and from Grandpa Balts. Thanks all who helped Tim build it.

We princess three

This is "the girls" (Piper, Gracie, Ellie) playing dress up. They are so cute! They each get dressed up in their princess attire and then come out and dance and sing their praises to God. They each sing their own song (all at the same time), but it is so great to hear them! I just love to hear them all sing their praises! Then after all the running and singing one of them prays for them to have a great day playing together. What can I say...I just love to hear them sing and pray together. Thank you Lord for open hearts to teach!

Connor wanted to join in also
