Memorial Day

We went camping for Memorial Day again this year. This was our fourth year doing this and it has always been such great fun. We went with some of our friends from when we were little and of course, Kelly's brothers. Levi (Dan's brother) was going to join us, but unfortunately, Jess had to work. Maybe next year. Kelly's cousin Daniel joined us as well from D.C. Joel also flew in from Buffalo for this as well.



This picture is especially for Grandma. Cousin Daniel, Ben and Joel still enjoy playing wiffle ball....I'm sure you miss the times in your backyard aimed at the neighbors' pool, though, Grandma.



DaniRae thought it was fun to try to push Rachel and AnaGrace in the stroller. They sure were cute together (even if Rachel did steal AnaGrace's hat).



Here is sweet little AnaGrace smiling just perfectly for the camera. Jeremiah and DaniRae are especially fond of this campground because of the rock shaped like a penguin...Penguin Rock. That is where they are in this picture, although you cannot see it.




The kids had an especially great time riding their bikes. Dani really did great. We stayed until Tues. and by Mon. afternoon, the campground was emptied out. They had a blast.

Jeremiah is 6 years old!!!!!

I know that it has been a while since I have blogged, but bear with me. Jeremiah celebrated his 6th birthday in May. Wow, I really cannot believe it. He is getting so big. He is really into camoflauge right not---shirts, flip-flops, shorts, birthday plates, etc. He requested this Jeep cake as well. I guess there are worse things we could be worried about!!!!!

As has been tradition, we went to Knoebel's campground for the weekend. We had a great time camping and riding the rides on Saturday. The kids really enjoy this. Even AnaGrace went on her first Knoebel's train ride.

Jeremiah asked for a skateboard for his birthday. This is him trying it out. He really looks the part of "little boy" in these pictures. I can't believe how grown up he really is becoming....6 years old, riding a skateboard, going into first grade, .....of course, he just rolls his eyes and laughs when I tell him this.

And, finally, one picture of the three kids together. I hope that sometime I can get more of AnaGrace up. She really is getting big and alert and changing so much. She goes for her four month old shots tomorrow. Ugh. She has started rolling over recently. In fact, today I put her down for her nap and she promptly rolled over and looked up at me and smiled....so I put her back on her belly, she rolled over, looked up at me and smiled....What was I to do.....I picked her and gave her kisses and snuggles. I put her down again and she finally stayed down and went to sleep. She is so sweet. Anyway, maybe more pictures will follow in the next few weeks. Lots of love to all.
