The Great Outdoors

The weather has been so nice this week and not so hot. We have been able to spend more time outside. Ryder starts screaming now when Dave walks out of the room. He is sure that his dad is going outside without him. All the kids have one thing in comman they love playing with the rocks outside. Whether it is climbing on them, throwing them, and yes eating them.
Dave was cleaning the garage up and the girls wanted to help. Here they are with their rags cleaning of Dad's tools. They were fighting over wearing the swim goggles and this was Rylee's turn to wear them.
Ryder was also outside crawling around and he discovered the motorcycle. He sat and stared at it for a long time. The slowly crawled over and touched it with this finger. Then it was all over he started pushing on it and pounding on it. I tried taking him inside and he started screaming and throwing himself. I tried sitting him on the motorcycle and he loved it. Dave decided to give him a ride. The pictures speak loud and clear. He Loved It!!!! He held on so tight the whole time. We couldn't get him off.
Ryder discovered that Dad, Mom, and Rylee were outside. He wanted out now!!!
Rylee passed her Karate test from last weekend. She was the first to test and in front of the whole school. She only knew 2 others there and passed with one of the highest scores. On Thursday she was awarded her Orange Belt.

We have rocks in our yard as well. Robyn likes to put them in a bucket and walk and eventually they end up in the house.

You have the cutest family! Isn't it funny how much kids like rocks and helping their dads clean. For some reason, helping mom clean isn't as much fun...Also, the karate thing is really cool!
