Frisbee Golf

For our FHE activity this past week, we went and played frisbee golf at the course by our house. It was the first time Alyssa "played" with us, and she had lots of fun. She mostly threw it off the tee and then carried it to the basket :) Dallin is getting better too!

Mini golfing

Yesterday there was a deal on groupon for $15 worth for a $1 at a miniature golf course near our house. We did the deal and took the kids. The kids ended up being free so it was a total of $1. Then we could play the other course they had for $2 each. So we played 36 holes for $5. The kids had fun, and so did we.

They had beautiful waterfalls and sweet tunnels.

Dallin had 3 hole in ones. He was actually much better this year. These are the the 3 that he did.Alyssa had fun and was really good. She stayed right by us the whole time. She held her ball the whole time. She would throw it in the hole sometimes or push it around with hands. She was pretty cute.
We went during nap time to miss the crowds, so Alyssa was very tired when we got back in the car.

Mother's Day

This handsome little boy was very cute on Mother's Day.
At church he made me this card that cracked me up. I don't even know what some of it means like the barn. I've never bought a house, but I'm glad I am teaching him how to buy one :) And the last answer really made me laugh.
Alyssa was kind of sick but she was still very happy to wear her new dress with her new shoes.
We bought her these sunglasses, and she loves to wear them :)

Dad's Boat and Dallin's boat

For Jeff's birthday last week, Dallin really wanted to get him a boat. So we bought him a cheap one. It was finally nice enough to go outside, and we took the boat out. At first he was a little concerned because every time we would walk by the pond he would ask us to read the sign. He thought we would get in trouble because it said no boating!
He had fun anyways. He loved to come "park" it against the side.
Now to Dallin's boat. We bought this kit from Michael's to build this ship. It said it was easy and just required a little glue. I am no so crafty....so I could not figure it out. I tried everything. Finally I got some packing tape and taped it all up. It looked pathetic, but Dallin didn't seem to mind.

One day it was actually warm enough the kids had a picnic for lunch on the back porch. They thought it was so much fun, and they ask to do it pretty much every day. Chicago lives up to its windy city nickname, and is normally too windy/cold for the kids to eat outside.
