What have we been up to????

I forget how busy life gets when the school year is coming to an end and summer is about to start! I am sure that it only gets worse the older your children get!

Dos graduated from preschool last week. He loved his teacher, Ms. Nicole, and will miss her. He did such a good job singing in his program they have been working on all year! He has learned so much and is ready to start kindergarten next year!

The boys have been so excited to be able to play outside with their friends. They love to put the sprinkler under the tramp and get wet. They are all little water monkeys. Cuatro loves to run his fingers in the grass. I am waiting for him to figure out how to pull it out and eat it!! He was blessed with daddies sweating ability. 5 minutes in the sun and he looks like he has been playing in water. I gave him his first hair cut last week to help cool him off. I cut a good 1/2 inch off and he still has a head full of hair!

I'm grateful for a father who had a love for gardening. I remember as a little girl sitting out in the peas pulling weeds and eating the peas when dad wasn't looking! He has been so great to make sure I get my garden started on time so my family can enjoy the fruits of our (his) labor!!!

We have lived in this house for 3 years. Every year I grumble and whine about the fact that all the walls are white! With 4 kids and a daycare they get dirty fast! We always "talked" about painting but never found the right time to do it!! Well when Big Boy took the 3 older boys on the wards father-son camp out, I found the time!! Down the hall, the living room and part of the basement are all painted brown. As you can see I got very daring and painted my entry-way wall red!! I LOVE IT! Our house now feels more like a home, and I'm sure as soon as I get the picture on the wall it will be even better! Best of all Big Boy was really surprised and he loves it also!!!

The bad thing about my painting weekend is that I had a cough and achy body I didn't take care of. At the time I didn't realize that I had pnemonia and a sinus infection. 18 days later I'm still coughing and am now trying to heal some cracked ribs from coughing so hard! Was it all worth it?????? YES!!!!
