Happy Father's Day

 HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!

I took these pictures and we made a little book for the best daddy in the whole world.

Talmage's blessing

 Talmage had a wonderful baby blessing!  We are so blessed to have him in our family.  We did not take very many pictures (Shelley was too busy playing with her cousins so she didn't even make it into one of the few we took).

 Talmage is such a sweet and happy little boy.  What a little cutie pie!

May

 May has been busy.  We are still adjusting to life with four children and everything is going so wonderfully.  I could not ask for sweeter children.

Shelley loves to make places for Talmage to lay down.  She has been such an amazing helper and just loves to hold her brother and help make him happy.

 Because it is so hot outside and because I am not going to brave the pool with four children just yet, we brought out our little pool and play in it as well as the sprinklers a lot.  I feel badly the children don't get to swim more often like last summer but we are having fun with what we can do.

 Shelley sporting her mask and flippers in her leotard ;)  Love this girl!

 We love all of Mo Willem's books. They crack me up and all of us love reading them.

 What a cute bunch!

 With just a little bit of silliness :)

 Brothers!

It just warms my heart knowing these two will have each other as they grow up.

 My little smiler!

 Jorgen finished kindergarten!  He just loved this year of school and we are so proud of him and how hard he works and how wonderful he is.  Here he is with his carpool buddies and our neighbors, Tristan and Jordan.  They are like his big brothers.  We just love them!

A few random phone pictures:

This just shows how sleep deprived I was.  I never fall asleep anywhere except my bed.

 Running in the sprinklers with goggles.  Cute girl!

 My favorite picture from Jorgen.  He is such a charmer!

 This is Elsie two minutes after coming home from church...

 Shelley loves to draw and is getting really good at details...and apparently writing..."Shelley Am I" Funny! She sounds like Yoda.

 This is Jorgen's soccer team at their trophy pool party.  We love soccer!

Shelley turns 4!

 Our little lady Shells sure is growing up!  We celebrated her fourth birthday on May 7th.  She is such a sweet, loving, helpful little lady.  She requested a barbie princess cake for her birthday.  We love you ShelleyBean.

 Shelley also wanted a birthday party with a bounce house.  We had a fun time celebrating with friends and bouncing all day long.
