Dear Grandma Jackie

Hi Grandma, it's me Rhoslyn.  I have some bad news....

Today mom was up front printing off some recipes when I got a hold of a great "coloring book."  I was a little naughty and drew in one of the books my mommy borrowed from you.  I just wanted to draw her a picture.  I don't think mom liked it very much.....

Sorry Gram that I colored in your book....my mom said she would buy you a new one though!

It's not my fault mom wasn't paying attention to me...  =)

It's been pretty busy around here... but no worries, mom still has her camera in hand!

Last week Alex and I worked on writing letters/words with chalk outside while Rhoslyn played on the bikes.  He is getting really good at being able to copy or at least try and copy letters.

Alex also had his first official t-ball game.  Watching 3-5 year olds play t-ball is so much fun!  Some of the kids will hit the ball and then run after there own ball.  Too funny!  Usually when Alex plays t-ball Rhoslyn is entertained by coloring or drawing with a pen.  This seems to be her latest obsession. 

And lastly.... the kids enjoyed some time playing out in the rain.  A first for Rhoslyn.  They had fun getting drenched.  It was so hot and humid I had to keep wiping my lens off!

Yes... she is wearing Alex's sandles.  :)

A weekend up North

We had such a wonderful weekend up North.  Thank you to Greg and Cheryl for letting us stay at their cabin.  We spent the weekend with them and Grandma and Grandpa.  It was perfect!

Right away Saturday morning Alex was ready to get out there and get some fishing done.  That kid caught more fish than anyone else!  As soon as he would put the his hook and worm in the water, he would have a fish biting his line.  He was literally grinning from ear to ear the entire day.  Grandpa decided we better start saving those fish.  Between Alex, Billy, and myself I bet we kept at least 20 fish.  Which grandpa and Greg later fileted and we had a fish fry for dinner that night.

The kids also enjoyed playing in the water and throwing rocks.  This was probably Rhoslyn's favorite besides coloring endless pictures.

We ended Saturday night with roasing marshmellows (the huge campfire ones) and having Smores.

What a great weekend!

Big girl bed

Today was the big day for Rhoslyn.  We took out her toddler bed and put in her big girl bed!  We even went to Target yesterday and bought her a new bed set.

We weren't planning on switching her until later, but she loves going up on Alex's bed so we thought we would give it a go.  It took her a bit to fall asleep for nap.  I think she was just too excited!  At bedtime it only took her a little bit and she was out.

Daddy and I will be checking on her before we go to bed so we can see where she is laying on it.  =)

She loves it!
