Fourth of July

We had a great time "blowing crackers"

There's nothing like holding fire in your hand!

Happy Father's Day!

We love our Daddy so much! We signed and colored our card all by ourselves.

We also found some time to doodle in our coloring books

Please do not bother me while I am at work-Dominic

Brothers...Best Friends...Worst Enemies

Happy Father's Day!

Story Time!

We have been attending a month long summer reading program at the library. This past week we read a story about Father's Day and then made Dad his very own tie.

Here we are creating our masterpiece artwork for Daddy.

The best part though....snacktime!

Mmmm...cookies!

ABC-Sing with Me

I have finally decided to divulge my talent. Mom and Dad were starting to think that I couldn't sing at all, so one day I decided to prove them wrong.

Summer Days Wastin Away...

We have been having a great summer...and we have the pictures to prove it!

Michael and Dominic getting dirty in the ditches.
After a few days of good rain, our ditches were full of water and the temperature was perfect, so we took advantage of it, along with our neighbors.

We do find some time to catch up on our soap operas (Barney, Sid, Thomas)

One cool evening we stopped playing with our dump trucks to lay down and watch the sun go down.

Of course its not all fun and games. We helped Daddy change the oil in the truck.

On Saturday of Memorial Day weekend, we spent the day with Daddy's old college buddies at Farlington Lake. We were the only ones brave enough to get in the water.

This is a typical Jude moment. He is the messiest guy you'll ever meet.

And now for a video of how we spend our afternoons...

My Big Fat Fun Wedding

We had a great time dancing at Meghan's wedding.

I think everyone had a great time dancing.

Hotel Fun

We went to Bismarck for our second cousin's wedding. This meant our first hotel-stay.
