The first few pictures are from the week that Andy was home with us. We really enjoyed having Dad home for 10 days. He is a great helper and lots of fun to play with.
Dad and Joshua snuggling.
Andy introduced the kids to Monopoly. They spent over 6 hours playing one game!
I need to invest in Monopoly Jr.
Andy told the kids we could all have a sleep over together. They got their blankets and pillows and set up camp in the toy room. Andy told them a story and then they were out like a light!
Daniel, Eliza, Nathan and Bradley
Another garden update. The garden is starting to resemble a jungle in some places.
Eliza's sunflower. She got it from preschool and it finally grew!
Daniel, Josh and Nathan with a huge zucchini.
Watch Nathan in these pictures. He is a character! :)
Josh and the zucchini.
He keeps getting bigger and bigger!
Aunt Malea, Joshua and Eliza
Uncle Colton and Aunt Malea drove to our house on the Aunt Bethany's birthday. They stayed over the weekend. It was a lot of fun to have them here. Eliza loved having someone to draw with her. Aunt Malea has just the right artistic ability to keep Eliza entranced. I do not. :)
Uncle Colton helping Dad figure out what the deal is with our wifi. He taught Andy some new things and got our internet working better than it has. Thanks Uncle Colton!
Checking the speed of the internet connection...
Slick the turtle!
Andy and the kids caught tadpoles and put them in with him. Within two weeks all 50-60 tadpoles were gone! He ate them. Then recently I got some ghost shrimp to help keep the tank clean...Slick ate all four of them!!
Saturday afternoon Dad, Uncle Colton and Aunt Malea took the kids to the pool
Daniel and Uncle Colton were shooting water torpedos at each other.
Eliza

Bradley, Aunt Mia and Dad in the deep end.
Hi Mia!
Colton and Eliza keeping an eye on Daniel who was trying to sneak up on them from under the water.
Soon Dad started to launch the boys across the pool in the deep end.
Bradley flying through the air.
Bradley could get some air time!

Daniel's first attempt didn't get much air time.
His second attempt was much or successful!

Heading in for the kill!
Got her!

Nathan swimming over to tell Aunt Malea how cool it was!
When dad got tired they moved over to the side and started jumping from the side. Andy would hold his arms out and they had to jump over them. Bradley was first. He made it!
Daniel taking off!
Daniel knows you can't walk on water until you learn to crawl on it first!
Bradley making a splash.
Daniel
Nathan decided to join in the fun.
Before heading home we had to do some more air time!
Bradley
Nathan loved it!

Colton working on his six pack with some pool side crunches.
Looking good!
Malea thought he needed a little more resistance.
He is still smiling....
Not smiling quite so much.
These two are a lot of fun!!
Dad and Eliza with the whale.
Eliza tamed the whale!
We had so much fun with the Potters. Hope they decide to come visit again!
