"Daddy said"

Renee has been learning how to play her parents. Whenever she wants to do something, she'll tell me "Daddy said......" For example, when she wanted to have fruit snacks the other day, I told her no, it was too close to dinner. Her response: "Daddy said I could have fruit snacks." Of course, Daddy didn't say anything of the sort. Who taught her that???

The other night she and Kaitlyn were playing in the driveway. They started fighting over the fire truck. Kaitlyn didn't give her a turn quick enough so she took matters into her own hands. Or rather, mouth. Yep......she gave Kaitlyn a big bite on the upper arm. A full mouth imprint!! Luckily it didn't break the surface but it is still bruised 2 days later. Who is teaching her these things???

Kaitlyn and I were running errands the other day and were talking about going to Pre-K in the fall. I told her John wouldn't be able to pick her up like last year. She told me. "I know and I'm very sad about it."

Family Camp

We had a great time at the trailer for Family Camp. The kids loved riding their bikes and playing with their friends. They were both exhausted by the end of the week and it took another week just to recuperate. But all in all, it was a good week.

Dirk and I celebrated our 7th. wedding anniversary on June 30. We were at the lake so decided to go to dinner at Point Breeze. We went to this restaurant near the lake and then got ice cream at Brown's Berry Patch. We had to be back for church that night (I was teaching the 3 & 4 yr. old class) so was a quick time away. Amy and John kept the girls so we knew they were in excellent hands.

Here are a few pictures from the week.






God paints the most gorgeous pictures, doesn't He?





Fourth of July bike parade, despite some drizzle. They loved it!! Renee had her own little parade later, with some pre-teen neighbors.
