Going for a walks and Cart-wheels

As a family we love going out for walks. I feel like a real parent now because both Natalie and Hannah are ridding their bikes out in front of us and Andrew is running around, sometimes holding my hand, other times racing the girls.

I should have a cute picture to add and I will, but the main reason I am writing is because on the last walk I went on I rolled down a hill with Andrew and did cart-wheel after cart-wheel. It made me so happy. I remember trying to do one after I had Natalie and couldn't. I pulled something and thought, there it goes, I'm damaged for life. Put what a pleasant surprise. Are bodies are amazing things; being able to recover from having children. My Mother once told me it takes two years after having a child to really feel back to normal and boy am I getting there. It feels wonderful!
I love cart-wheels!

Man child's failed jail break #847845

Goodnight!! Hum..he seems to have an idea. I wonder what it could be?
Oh Look Man child is still.....Oh! Wait!! Thats not my baby it's a monkey and the box of wipes. Where is my man child?
Looks like he has some unfinished business.
Caught in the act. Make a break for it. RUN RUN!!!
To bad he ran the wrong direction- right back into his room where he was kissed back to sleep.

The Parade

These are pictures of the Cutest kids in the world getting ready to go to Mineral Point for the parade.
Andrew is hard to get. He is always moving

This is a picture we got after the parade. Boy are they cute kiddos.

And here we are at the parade. We didn't stay for the whole time, which is something great you can do with little kids. They got some candy and they were good to go. They think it is awesome that people would throw candy at them.

Party at the Dietrichs

We had four couples over for the 4th and we had a great time. We had dinner together and the food tasted awesome.
We had a lot of activities to do. We set up a net to play badminton, we had a sand box with all the trimmings and a little sprinkler thing for the kiddo's

This is a picture of my 4th of July cake it turned out really pretty
and I was quite proud of it.
This last picture is the fun we had with a helicopter, left over people from sharing time and smoke bombs, later we added a few firecrackers. IT WAS AWESOME!!
