Preschool at home!

We had Max's cousin over the other day with the neighbor kids cousins to0. It was like a miniature preschool. There jungle gym was a old fuel tank that was probably to rusty to play on and they all had tractor time. They planted flowers with Josephs drill, which I'm now banned from:)
Joseph put up a tent that was a huge hit!! It was fun having so many kids around. They had a very fun day!

Waking up happy!!!!

Its the best feeling when you walk into your kids room and there none stop smiling when they wake up! Just hearing the door open Brody's legs are kicking and he gets all wild. My favorite is in the morning. Holding them when there nice and warm and cuddly. I LOVE IT!!

Fun in the mud!

Thank goodness for rubber boots!! The kids had so much fun after that little bit of rain, running through the puddles and throwing rocks to get a big Splash!

Opa's surprise 70th Birthday!!

Opa's 70th b-day party was alot of fun. It was a luau theme with Hawaiian music and great food. Seeing people over 65 doing the hula-hoop was pure laughter!! We skipped the limbo because everyone had some type of injury! We hoped it was a surprise. The day before my mom came over to make food and who do you think scooters over to say hi...OPA! I told him it was for Grandpa Bakker and hopefully he fell for it. It's Davids b-day, our 6th year anniversary and then my dad's b-day. It was a very, very busy weekend. Lots of friends from Visalia and Escondido, it was a great turnout!

Tulare Fair

Max and Joeys buddy Tanner,were all running around having fun!!!

Poor Brody was exhausted

Joey fishing and catching a duck!

What a fun Daddy!!!!!!

The kids had a great time at the fair this year. They loved playing the games and riding the rides! By the pictures we look very happy, but boy was it alot of work! Brody wasnt very happy and screamed off and on. I was exhausted and sweaty, a very bad combo. Even though it was crazy I'm sure next year we will forget and go again! Its all about the kidos!!

BRODSTER!!!

Isn't this the cutest picture! We went to the midget races and thank goodness my girlfriend had this "pink" headset that is usually for her daughter. "Thank-you Jenna!"

Max's 1st day of preschool

To my surprise no tears where shed as we dropped Max off for his first day. Miss Monica is his teacher and she knows Max, which made it easier. He's been getting a little teary eyed the last couple of days when I drop him off, but when I pick him up he's so happy and can't stop talking about the fun things he's been doing. He comes home and always wants to write his letters. My mom babysat him the other day and he had to bring his paper and write letters for her too! I hope he's always this excited to learn!
