tea party


Family Tea Parties are lots of fun.

Boulder City Park


Frank went to Boulder City to help with an outreach they had. He picked me and the kids up to go have lunch at a park with them.


They met a lady who used to go to our church when Frank pastored several years ago.



Of course the kids had fun at the play ground.

Gymnastics



The kids love their gymnastics class. They are super excited to go and they practice what they can do at home during the week. This class is certainly a workout- they don't stop moving the entire time. I have seen major improvements in both kids' skills in just a few weeks.

Wetlands Park

 

The kids and I went to Wetlands Park while Frank worked from home. First we hiked the trails.



We also visited the Nature Center. They had a few new things in there, which was nice.

 
We also stopped by the playground. It was a very enjoyable time.

Barnes and Noble Storytime

 


This week Alex didn't want to go so it was just us girls. I read several books to Sabrina and then she got to enjoy storytime.

Baking cookies


The kids always enjoy baking cookies!

Sunset Park




We walked a different section of Sunset Park and discovered another play ground. That makes five playgrounds that I know of there.



The kids enjoyed this play ground- of course.


We were also treated to a gorgeous sunset.

Chuck E Cheese- Janesa's B-day

 
 
 
The kids were invited to parties at Chuck E Cheese two weekends in a row!

Acacia Park


 
I didn't realize how close Acacia Park is to our house. We haven't been there since we left the homeschool group. The kids brought their scooters, but didn't really ride them.

Barnes and Noble Storytime



Story-time is always exciting to Sabrina.

We have been putting Sabrina's tea set to good use.

Chuck E Cheese- Mya's B-day


The kids were thrilled to go to a new to us Chuck E Cheese for Mya's B-day.


Alex was as happy to spend time with Jordan as Sabrina was to spend time with Mya.


Both kids want to go back to this Chuck E Cheese because of this hamster wheel thing. It is a workout!

First Sunday School Class


We had our first Sunday School class! I taught on when the disciples had no fish until they obeyed Jesus and their nets were filled. It was a lot of fun. Alex has agreed to be my class helper. I will be trading off teaching with Ms. Sharon and we will be teaching as needed.

Double Sleepover


The kids got to have a double sleepover with Jordan and his cousin, Mya. This was Sabrina's first sleepover. Needless to say, they had a great time.

Sunset Park- hiking trail

 

 
As many times as we have been to Sunset Park, we have never walked the trails. Our anniversary was a perfectly beautiful day to do it. We saw two roadrunners sitting on a wall. The trails were nice, but there is no shade on the part we were.

 


The kids were impatient to get back to yet another playground. Sunset Park is the biggest park around here and I am not sure how many playgrounds it has, but this was a new one to us. The designers of this one seem to want everybody to get dizzy because almost everything spins. The kids loved it!

13th Wedding Anniversary


13 years of marriage- that's a long time! I am so blessed to be married to my best friend. I am thankful for a Godly marriage that is build on God's Word. We are a testimony that doing things God's way works. Hoping and praying for many more happy years together.

Gymnastics Class


Alex and Sabrina have started taking gymnastics at the recreation center. They both love it.


These kids are on their feet exercising the entire time! They have a great teacher who is encouraging, but tough.


I only wish they had the high bar, like the other rec center did.

Marie-Anne

Union Pacific Railroad Trail


The kids got to take their scooters on the Union Pacific Railroad Trail. The part between Frank's work and the college is paved. They had a great time. Since I was on foot I told them when they got to the stop sign to turn around.



Marie-Anne

Recorder lessons


I bought a recorder for Sabrina and me. Alex, who already has one, will be the teacher.

Marie-Anne

Stewart Place Park


I took the kids to Stewart Place Park for the first time in a very long time. They had a great time playing with some sisters who were there.


I felt sorry for the oldest sister who seemed to be about Alex's age because she couldn't play, though she wanted to; she was too busy watching her younger sister, who didn't listen to her, her toddler sister, and a puppy, who ran every time he was set down.
