Warm weather here we come!!!

So, its that time of year again. Summer is just around the corner. The kids wanted to get in the pool, but it was a little colder (70) than they're used to! A few more weeks with the pool cover and they will be good to go! Ezra didn't seem to be bothered at all by the water or the temperature. There is a school across the street where we take the kids to ride their bikes without traffic. It just so happened the sprinklers were on! Fun for the kids and Solo!

Do I see a hint of athleticism??? I believe that's a RUN!!

Maisy and Ezra brave the cold pool.The view of the farms and mountains from across the street! Maisy in her ET dress doing some bike riding!

Feven pets Solo. Barb, is this a far cry from the fear Solo used to cause or WHAT?Puddles are always fun!!

Cute little Maisy wearing her new shirt from Grandma!

Six months home!!!

Its hard to believe that Ezra and Feven have been with us six months now! They seem to be doing amazingly well (thank you God!). Feven is definitely the shier of the two children, but she is coming around and rarely has the 'I'm overcome' look on her face. Both of them are really developing. This morning, Ezra had pulled out the train tracks and starting putting them together...pretty great for a kid who would not sit still for more than 5 seconds! On a different note, we had a chance to see Scott fly in to Yuma yesterday. Although one might think the life of a fighter pilot's wife is a glamorous one, (wink, wink) it really is just like any other wife whose husband puts in long hours. It is next to never that we see him fly and that's probably good...its sort of fun, but much more stress than fun! The kids were excited to see Dad come in, a first for Feven and Ezra.

Ezra sets up his trains.
Feven gets married---dress up compliments of Law.
All the kids take a turn with Dad's helmet.

Law got to make the climb into the cockpit.

Law was helping me fold laundry. This is his idea of piles...it was a very symmetrical maze! Very funny to a math Mom!

We had our yearly visit from the Bell family, our neighbors in San Diego. Can you believe we only had to take a few pictures to get ALL 7 kids looking! We miss them!
