HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!

I just wanted to say that Shem is a great father. He works hard and he never gives up.

The girls love their dad too and here's what they said.

Maddie - I love when dad tickles me and when he plays games with me.

Abbie - I like when dad takes me to McDonalds and when he colors with me.

Emmie - a new favorite is sharing dads breakfast with him.

Babe we love you and we hope you had a great father's day!

CAMPING WITH FRIENDS

We went camping with a group of friends this weekend and we had a blast. The weather was good and the food was even better. The parents had a wood chopping contest. The moms had to get a piece off. The guys had to chop as many pieces as they could in a minute. The kids had fun exploring.Emmie discovered watermelon - yummy!

Abbie learned how to peel potatoes and she loved it.

Maddie loved the fire and eating junk food.

Thanks guys for a great time camping - lets do it again next year.
