science center

We took a trip to the Science Center today with some friends. They had a lego castle display where you could build your own castle. The kids had a good time running around by the big lego sculptures and playing with the costumes and on the castle slide.

model rockets

For family night a couple of months ago we made a model rocket. It was a lot of fun and Stephen loved helping make a rocket. I think he was a little dissapointed when he realized we wouldn't actually be going in it to fly to space. So when there's a nice cloudy day that won't melt us, we go out to the pig farm and launch them. Brady thinks it's really funny to watch the rockets come down and see Dad running to try and catch them.

swimming lessons

The boys had swimming lessons this summer. They both loved them and were sad that they are over now. Stephen's finally faced his fear of jumping off the side of the pool. Hopefully he'll keep practicing so it's not such a hard thing for him.

Fool Hollow Lake

We went camping this last week at Fool Hollow Lake in Show Low. It was a lot of fun and the boys had a great time. There were two playgrounds and they were close enough to ride power wheels to. All of the Tucker cousins were there atleast part of the time, so that was fun.

One morning there was a nature walk with the forest ranger. Stephen kept saying he was really excited to go on a walk and hold the ranger's hand. I think he was a little dissapointed. He did enjoy bringing his "telescope" to look for things on the hike.

Brady's favorite part was looking for flowers. He'd be riding the quad and stop really quickly to jump off and yell FLOWER! Then he'd pick one and hop back on to start riding again.

There were a lot of rocks to climb everywhere around camp. I think the boys are head to toe scratches and bruises.

Grandma Tucker and the kiddos.

Stephen's all-time favorite part about the playground- the tire swing.

The boys' favorite book is The Three Billy Goats' Gruff, so they loved clip-clopping across this bridge and pretending there was a troll living underneath.

Skipping rocks with Dad.

Easter 2009

It's a little late, but I thought I should post some Easter pics since Stephen loves Easter so much.
