Through the Eyes of a 4 year old
Our little photographer, Bryant, loves to take pictures. We find countless treasures on the camera, here is a sampling of some of my recent favorites.
Water Fun
The hot days are full of fun with the sprinkler and friends to keep us busy.
Jonas was having so much fun, every time he went through he tried to get as much of his body wet as possible (including his tongue as you can see).
Yesterday, we bought a new pool for the boys. Needless to say, they are looking forward to many more hot afternoons.

I Love to See the Temple
I love to see the temple...
I'll go inside someday...
Bryant found my temple schedule in my purse and started asking if he could go to the temple...
I though about it before saying my initial response of "no" and decided, it would be a good learning opportunity for the boys...
So, the following Monday we drove to the beautiful Portland, Oregon Temple and had a picnic and walked around the lovely grounds...
We talked about why it is such a special place...
We also had some fun rolling down the hill. Jonas was so busy looking at the pool and waterfalls that he walked right in without even realizing. He looked down at his feet and jumped back, it was pretty funny!

Musicians in the Making
His name is Jonas, he's carrying the drum...with his help we started our very own "Bee Bop Band."
Look out Jonas! Bryant is fierce on that drum.
Break it down, Daddy.
Levi had to get in on the action too. We had a rockin' good time!

Feelin' Good
We had a mystery delivery of these beautiful flowers on our doorstep last week. We don't know who they're from, but if you're reading this, THANK YOU!!! You made us feel very loved!
3 Wild and Crazy Boys
My kids would make their aunt Erin proud with how much they like getting their pictures taken:)...
...well, 2 out of 3 anyway
These were my attempts to get a photo of them all together, a word of warning to all of you still having children: it gets much more difficult the more kids you have.

Memorial Day at the Park
After a 7.5 mile bike ride up the Vernonia Linear Trail, we went to Bard Park and had dinner with a bunch of friends from school. We didn't have our camera with us all day, so these were graciously taken and shared by our friends, thanks guys! We had so much fun as we always do with our friends. We've got a couple more months of enjoying their company and then its off to enjoy time with the fam!
Four of us all have a 2 year old and a baby. Here are the four of each...Jonas loves playing with his friends. Even just looking at these pictures he is so excited to see Paul! They were having a lot of fun playing with the bubbles.
My kids are obsessed with taking hats off people, Levi was busy attacking this one, so out of 4 pics, we got this one with Levi looking toward the camera.
Bryant was playing on the jungle gym and a nice dad of another child (whom we didn't know) was there and Bryant asked him for help. He was very particular about the help he wanted and then asked him to help with another "trick" then he got a little more confident and said, "Don't help me this time, just watch to make sure I'm OK." Well, after this he came to get me to show me he could do it. The dad told me all this and I asked Bryant if he'd said "thank you" and he and the dad told me that he said, "Gracias!" (It was clearly evident that the dad spoke Spanish). My cute little boy is so smart! Here he is performing his new "trick."
Jonas loves sunglasses and putting them on upside down is his specialty, everyone got a big kick out of it!
Levi is growing up so quickly, he loves to play outside, so this was a real treat for him (even though he looks pretty serious).

Helping Hands
We constantly have a mess at our house (those of you who know me from days gone by, its never quite as bad as my bedroom once was). I am cleaning a good portion of the day, but the boys seem to think they need my attention when I do so, this day I really wanted the boys out of my hair so I could get some stuff done, so I put them to work...
Levi thought he'd help with the laundry, doesn't he look proud of himself. This was after a head first dive into the laundry basket-one of those many times we wished we knew in advance that we needed the camera handy.
The older boys wanted to take turns vacuuming and Jonas discovered that its lots of fun to try to clean Bryant up. Well, as you can see, Bryant really needed a good cleaning...(if you look closely, you can see a little vacuum hickey on his belly).
And finally, someone actually helping around here!
