Swimming in April

Swimming or getting our feet wet for the first time this year.

They were excited!

Alex and Grandma Laura staying cool with the 100 degree temperature.

Maybe she will want to get in the water this year.

Light Rail, DBack & Spaghetti

First we took the Light Rail to downtown for the first time.

Monique was a little nervous.

Alex was excited to see all the big buildings!

The boys went to the baseball game.

And the girls went to eat at the Old Spaghetti Factory!

Front Yard Fun

It all started as we washed the car, then the fun really began!

Adrian and Wyatt came over to help and get a little wet.

Alex and Adrian squirting each other.

Monique tried to stay clear of the crazy boys.

Adrian loaded and ready

These are cool little water crayons!

Then the boys turned on Kacey!

Peace Family Night

Grandma Kay, Alex and Grandpa Dan

Alex is up there singing his little heart out somewhere.

After the kids were done singing, we all sat and watched a slide show of there past school year.

Alex and Grandma Kay made with big screen!

Wyatt - this is too funny!

Adrian, Alex, Wyatt, Cash and Monique.  Do you think I could get a picture with all them looking?

NOPE

Thanks for coming everyone!!

Firefighter Billie

I can't believe it has been a year already, since our last visit with firefighter Billie. He has come along way. Alex didn't cover his eyes this time! Check out last years visit:  http://secklerphotos.blogspot.com/2011/04/seeing-firefighter-billie.html

He shared with the class that he likes to watch Emergency at home.

Happy Baptismal Day, Cash

For Cash's special day we all made special cookies! They were excited.

Cash puts in the cookie mix.

Alex's turn

And Monique's turn

Now it's mine turn!

We started making cookie cut outs, but it didn't go so well.  But we had fun!

After we all got cleaned up, frosting time. They made their own colors.

They all worked so hard to decorate them.

The few I kept!

The cut outs didn't come out so well, but I think the circles were easier for them to decorate.

Yummy! I think we will go for ice cream next year.
