Whitney's kindergarten homework

killing time at soccer practice...

Jessa's secret karate kid move...

the world bores you when you're cool...

are we done yet?

who is that kid you ask? idk - he was just making good faces for me...

The Learning Chair

Jessa and Whitney dubbed this chair "The Learning Chair". They like to do their homework together on it. What great girls they are!

Mommy payday: I walked into the kitchen to see Jessa helping Whitney with her reading. They were so sweet and patient with each other. I'm so grateful to have a husband who supports me staying home with my children! I just have to remember moments like this when I'm driving my piece of crud car and be thankful for what I have. :)

The Funniest Swimsuit Ever Made

I don't know why, but every time I see this it cracks me up...

Prarie Creek Camping Trip

Seth and Jessa at Fern Canyon. I haven't been all over the world, but I'm fairly certain that this is one of the most beautiful places of all time.

Here's Whitney at the cleverly named "Big Tree".

We actually paid money to drive thru here. (worth every penny btw)

Evey at the beach. You would think she would learn to bring extra pants, but no.

Seth climbs trees like a monkey.

Evey too.

All my kids in a holler log.

Jessa and the stuffed bear.

Pic taken 2 steps from our tent. We had the most secluded campsite. Fully enclosed by thick greenery.

banana slug... eeeew.... nobody would lick it - not sure why.

"How do you put money in it? There's no place to swipe your card!?"

We had a great time. We did lots and LOTS of hikes, geocaching, beach hanging out, we went to Oregon, and played ninja destruction for many an hour. I'd go back any time!

God Bless the USA!

Jessa's class put on a Patriotic program at school! It was adorable! We love America!

Yesterday...

Yesterday we went to Balogs to swim and hang out with the sibs (6 out of 8 were there - not bad) the parents and all kinds of cousins were there too -
These are just some snapshots from the festivities...

Baby Josephine Foster - the littlest angel - age 2 1/2 mo

Jessa freezing... it was not a hot day - crazy kids

I wish I would have taken more pics, but this is all I got...
