Summer Fun 2009

We've been doing lots of little fun things this summer, trying not to spend any money. The girls took swimming lessons and loved it. We spend a lot of time in the backyard playing in the water and using Deryk's little pool. Deryk got stung by a wasp last week on his arm. He didn't really cry, but he was REALLY mad at that wasp! Now we have to explain every bug he sees as a good bug or mean bug. And a lot of our time has been spent feeding the three kittens. The mommy cat decided to run right under our tires as we pulled into the garage and that was the end for her. So we bottle feed the kittens 4 times a day. They should be ready to eat on their own this week. (whether they like it or not) :)

Deryk loved his birthday! He had no idea what was going on, but he blew out his candles and was excited to have presents. Such a cutie. What happened to our little baby?

Short Camping Trip

We went on a one-night camping trip towards the end of June. It was so beautiful on Friday and then the clouds came in that night and we headed home by noon on Saturday. So much rain!! It was a fun time, though.
