The kids have been missing their Dad this summer. He has been busy working, going on a trip with Mom, and with his calling at church, there doesn't seem to be enough time in the day to hang out with the kids.....until today.
Today James took the day off and has dedicated it to the kids. They were so excited to have him around. The first order of busy......A huge water fight. The kids called some friends up and they all came over to have a water fight against James. As soon as all the kids got here, I made them go to the bathroom and before the door was closed, I ran to every door in the house and made sure they couldn't come back in until they were completely dry. The had a great fight that lasted for over an hour....but the fun didn't stop there.
Then more of Elijah and Ethan's friends started to arrive for a paintball war. We loaded all the kids up on brownies, and homemade ice cream, sent the boys off to war and took all the girls home. I can't wait to hear about all the battles when they come home.
Yeah for Dad!

p.s. cute kids!
I agree with Katie on the posts - wowsers! It's about time! So...when will you be here?
Oh how fun! You guys are such a fun family! Brings back certain high school memories of your back yard where we were also locked outside, only we had food, flour, soap, old veggies and your fresh lawn manure to make a mess with. Looks like you guys are keeping busy and having fun as always. I feel bad I didn't get to talk to James when he called a couple of weeks ago. Cassidy's little Porter was sick and he had just fallen asleep in my arms. It was nice of James to check up on my dad...you guys coming to SD any time soon?
