Wind Fright

Yesterday, Hutch told John that he had to go inside from playing because he had "wind fright". John asked him what that meant, and he said, "You know when the wind blows on you and it makes you shiver? That's wind fright."

Play Time!

It was a little too quiet, so I went into the boys' room to see what was up. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw this...
All three kids actually PLAYING together! Gwyneth wasn't even knocking over their creations!

Gwyneth was sooo proud of herself! Such a big girl!

Camdyn *22 months*

I took this picture of Camo at the park last week. What a SILLY little boy!!!

Rockford Days

Last Saturday, my mom came to the booming metropolis of Rockford to take in The Parade. She was underwhelmed, to say the least- us too!!

This was the most interesting unit (enough said?!)
*Also, notice the vast amounts of people!!*

My dad came down later on in the evening for a cookout, and then we headed over to a field to watch the fireworks. We were pretty impressed with these!

Gwyneth, hanging out before the show

I took about 2,521 pictures of the fireworks. True story. And this is the only "decent" one!

We had a really great time together. It was like our own personal showing of a parade and fireworks. Now, when does that ever happen?!!

Haydn's Baseball Pictures

Baseball is in full swing (haha)! I can't believe how much Haydn has improved this year. He is a hitter, very into the game, and VERY aggressive in the sport.

Soccer Star!

Last Saturday, we went to watch Lainey play soccer. She did a great job!

I looked over, and Caleb was holding Camdyn and Gwyneth! (I think they like him!)

Fathers

I have the best Dad in the world! And, I have the best Dad for my children in the world! God has blessed me with two wonderful men in my life, and I am very thankful for each of them. And-I really like both of them(: I decided that I'm going to list some traits I admire in each of them...

MY DAD:

1. His sunny disposition! Mom said that my Granpda Kemp asked dad after they were dating if he smiled in his sleep. Yeah, I"m pretty sure he does! And-I'm glad that Gwyneth has seemed to inherit this outlook on life!

2. His friendliness. If you know anything about Larry, you know that he definitely is friendly!

3. His patience and level head. This makes him a great coach as well.

4. He's always "been there" for us. I don't think that my dad honestly missed ONE of my school functions. Ever. If we were involved in something-he was there. He would even go to things he didn't HAVE to!

5. His Christian example. He is a rock.

MY JOHN:

1. His hard work ethic. This man is a worker-both on the job and at home. If it needs to be done, John will do it!

2. His sense of humour. He makes me laugh. sigh.

3. His humble spirit. I am amazed constantly by how John is SO rockingly awesome, and yet with confidence, takes it all in stride.

4. His honor. John is definitely a man of honor.

5. His Christian example. I am so thankful to God that He has blessed my children with a godly father.

I LOVE YOU TWO! YOU"RE THE BEST!
