chores and a new house...sort of

Saturday morning chores with dad - get out there and mow the lawn He's working really hard to push that mower - the grass was pretty tallI got this sweet playhouse at a garage sale I went to with my friend Hailey. John freaked until he realized that these babies cost 200-300 bucks new and I got it for 40. What a steal. And of course John 5 LOVES it. He goes in there and Remi follows right behind him. He ate dinner in there last night at about 9:15 at night. we couldn't get him to leave.

we love when cousins come to visit

My sister Mendi and her family dropped by for a visit on their way back to Roseville from Utah. We were very excited to see them but John 5 was especially excited. He loves having visitors, as I am sure all kids do. Here's John and Amelie riding bikes and cars in the backyard. Sophie and Soleil. They are 2 months apart. As you can see my children always have noticably large heads than Mendi's kids.
