Parker wakes up every morning totally excited for the day so here he is downing his chocolate milk and Hostess donuts while Noah is still snoozing away.
Ha~ Noah cracks me up, he's not much of a morning person!
There we go... back to his clowny self! The chocolate milk and donuts kicked in!
Love this pic of the brothers. Noah's smile makes me smile!
Here's a picture to show her many years down the road... she did NOT want that life jacket on! ;)
She finally gives up and falls asleep sitting UP! This was a after 2 days of no naps, listening to her scream for a lot of the night and most of the day! Sigh!
Savannah is our clutsy one BUT she is also our brave one... she'll let us take care of her "owies" without freaking out and who wouldn't if they were handed a marshmallow!!??!!
Put all those stories aside... I love how my li'l girl is so caring. Noah was sad about getting sunblock smothered on his face so she sat down and started rubbing his back! CuTeNeSs!!!
OMGoodness... we were so blessed with INCREDIBLE weather the day we drove down to Kenai Lake. If the water had not been 30+ degrees, if there weren't gorgeous snow~topped mountains jetting out of that water and if we weren't sitting on pebbles... I could have imagined I was somewhere tropical because the water was crystal blue and it was almost 80 degrees!!! I love, love, LOVE Alaska on days like these...
crazy Parker... that water was FReezing!
and what's not to love when all 3 of your toddlers are perfectly entertained
~they brought the speed boat for fun on the gorgeous Kenai Lake!
~Mo-mo brought DONUT KING donuts for breakfast!
~Popeye brought the kayak
~BUT the main reason is because they LOVE our kiddos and know how to have a good time! Thanks for hanging out with the loud campers!!!
Savannah loves her "little and dainty" accessories... hehehe... I know they aren't little or dainty but she does LOVE them! She has 2 sweet friends from our Young Life Committee that LOVE to dote on our Savannah, thanks Smith chicas!
Our beautiful blue robin eggs are not the same "beautiful" anymore... and actually they are quite "yucky" looking! But, we are sure having fun watching God's amazing creation take place right on the side of our shed. These helpless little robin babes change so quickly. That third egg has now hatched and they all have more feathers than this picture shows. We only wish we could keep watching them until they fly away but we take off for Montana tomorrow... Although, I'm pretty sure I can handle that sadness knowing that I'll be with my family very SOON!!! ;)
Over Memorial Day weekend we were blessed with an amazingly gorgeous day to float the Matanuska River with good friends, the Buchanans!
Ha~ gotta love this shot... each of their personalities are in full bloom! 
Here I am bobbing my head to the fun river tunes we were making up that day! It's always an adventure in the bow of our raft.
Sweet sibling loving! We were happy that Sissy was all smiles and loving the "rapids" because there was no time for naps on this day.
Our boys love to jump back and take their turns being captains...
Gotta bring a kite for the bank beach time!
Momma Robin has been faithfully building nests on the side of our shed this spring. Kep took the first nest down because he didn't want one on HIS shed. But, I was happy Momma Robin felt welcome to come back and build a second nest in the same place! And it didn't take long to convince Kep to keep it up there since it could be a "science" lesson for our boys! hehehe. The nest is way too high for the boys to see inside so we just keep taking pix to show them the progress. Here are the 3 beautiful eggs we are watching... she laid 2 earlier in the week and then we saw a 3rd today! We'll post more pix later of our baby Robins...
When it's sunny and warm in AK... I drop all household responsibilities and we play outside non~stop!!!
And believe it or not... we even needed sun breaks one day with pink lemonade!
Savannah can be such a "li'l princess" but she also knows how to get dirty and LOVES the outdoors!
Our boys having fun digging lakes and rivers with the DeKruif boys! We got to enjoy hanging out with these 3 cuties while their mom had jury duty for 2 days.
