Hmmm???

Today in the car I heard Gracyn talking to her friend Avery.  We were driving her home after a play date. I'm not sure what their conversation was about all I heard was Gracyn say...."OMG"!  Really?  Where did she learn that?  I sure don't say it.  I guess my little 5 year old is growing up.  I better stay on it with this parenting gig.

My Little Swedish Dancers

I forgot to post these pictures last night.  Our family recently joined the local Swedish Lodge, the Sveaborg lodge.  Dave's mother's family is Swedish and they have been a part of this group since Dave was a child.  We have always attended the annual Jul Fest, Christmas celebration, and this kids have always loved it.  So we decided while they still enjoy these Swedish traditional we would get them involved in the Vasablad kids club.  Last Friday night they had their first performance doing some traditional Swedish dances for the Lodge's monthly meeting.  It was so darn cute.  Both Michael and Gracyn were adorable.  I was so impressed that Michael was able to keep up.  I'm pretty sure that one day Michael may hate me for taking these pictures!!!

Lately.......

Well, as usual things have been quite busy here lately.  Between school drop offs, teaching Bar Method, swim, soccer, baseball, play dates, Swedish dance class, and the normal cooking, cleaning, and laundry.............. time flies to say the least.

Sweet little Lucy just turned 15 months.  She is such a happy snuggly little girl.  She is walking and beginning to talk too.  She says mama, dada, baby, dog, no, book, milk, night night, more, bye bye,.......the list goes on.  I'm beginning to realized that I now have 3 talkers on my hands!!!!  My car rides are about to get very loud.  Lucy had to be the most snuggle little baby ever.  She will crawl up into random people's laps in the park and give them a big hug.  She LOVES hugs.  She is also beginning to try to wrestle Michael.  It is so funny.  She gets on top of him and just laughs and rubs her face into his back.  Lucy loves bath time and would eat an entire flat of strawberries if you let her.  Here are a few pictures of her.

The rest of the photos are from our most recent activities.  I'm hoping to be blogging more once school is out.  I NEVER thought I would say this but........I can't wait for summer break!!!!  We may stay in our PJs all day every day!

It's Finally been warm enough to swim!!!!!!!

It Takes a Lot To Get a Good One

This is what my typical photo attempts look like with Michael lately.  It takes a ton of shots to get a good/ not weird and crazy picture of Mr. Silly.  The kid is so darn funny and goofy but it the end........

Look at that handsome kid!
