The four of us went for a hike. Apparently we took a little too long of a hike since both kids fell asleep. I was proud how much they were able to walk.

Summer Celebration
This weekend was Mercer Island's annual Summer Celebration with rides, games and fireworks. Here is a picture of Liz and Carter on a ride.
Vidana Sanduni
Brett and I each have an adopted child in other countries. Brett's girl is named Claire and she lives in the Philippines. My child is named Vidana and she lives in Sri Lanka. I started to sponsor Vidana when she was Liz's age now (4) and she's now 13. I can't believe how big she's getting and am so glad she's such a great kid. When Liz and Scott get a little bigger, they will each sponsor a child as well.
Lizzie Makes a Payment with Her Kumon and Chores Stickers
Liz earns stickers for her homework and for completing her chores, such as putting everyone's shoes away. She uses these stickers to 'buy' items that she wants. She used the stickers below to buy a mermaid for her bathtub. The writing says 'To Mom, Liz'.
I Made a Castle Out of Magformers
Magformers are one of my favorite toys the kids own. They are magnets in different shapes. I was proud of myself that I made this castle.
Lizzie's Spell Book
Also happens to be my handheld dictionary that I've had for years. She comes up with some great spells :)
Scott Doesn't Always Sleep in His Bed
I found Scott sleeping on top of his shark on the floor the other morning.
Our Little, Big Helper
Scott loves to sweep and help us clean. I can't wait until he knows where things belong.
Scott Sure Loved His Chocolate Birthday Cake
Happy 2nd Birthday Scotty! We couldn't imagine our family without our beautiful baby boy. I know Daddy doesn't look so thrilled in the picture, but that's because you normally use his shirt to wipe your mouth.
4th of July
We had such a wonderful 4th of July. We had some good friends over and many of the families in the neighborhood were outside. Liz did sparklers for the first time, but we did insist that she wear an oven glove. Brett was jumping up and down like a four year old when some of his fireworks went off :)

It's Rude to Ignore People
Liz wanted to ask me something last night at dinner and I told her that she needed to take a bite of her dinner and then ask me after she was done chewing. She told me that it was rude to ignore people....then she took a bite and I was sitting there with my mouth open.
