Happy Father's Day to the best Dad EVER!

 We are blessed with a great Daddy in our house!  Brian woke up to coffee and breakfast in bed, along with handmade drawings, candy, and a few other surprises.  We have had a great family weekend, swimming and bike rides and hanging out together.  It was the first weekend in awhile that there wasn't something going on, so it was nice just to hang out together.  I loved this that Gwyn made at camp this week:
 Brian also let Gwyn "do" his hair.  She was so excited and was giggling the whole time.  I didn't put a picture of the end result, but let's just say that it was VERY nice...and Brian took a shower before we went for pizza!
 We let the kids run around at City Center after dinner, they had fun and we wore them out a bit before bedtime!


 Here is a video:



Here is a video of the bike ride we took...Gwyn is doing well, but gets worn out.  We rode by Jacob's Kindergarten teacher's house, and he begged to ring the doorbell, but he gets to go to her house this week in the afternoon for a "Young Author's camp" and he's VERY excited about that!




Annie loves to ride in the trailer on bike rides:
 Sweaty headed Jacob was always leading the pack:
 I love this face, and Brian did her hair that day...you should have seen it from the back.  It was enough to make me say that for that reason alone, I hope nothing ever happens to me!
 Jacob loves to sport the faux hawk...he's one cool kid!
 Seriously, how is it possible to get this much raspberry sherbet on your face while eating it??
Our summer is off to a great start, we've had numerous play dates, gone swimming with friends, we're still doing swim lessons a couple of days a week and Annie is making great strides.  The kids were in a camp all week at Gwyn's preschool, they each had friends in their classes, so they loved going.  It was Annie's first time to ever be in anything like that and she did great.  I did have to take Annie to an allergist this week, hopefully she is just having a reaction to a virus, we're in a wait and see over the next couple of weeks.  I also have to get my wisdom teeth out at the end of the month, I'm not looking forward to that, but the afterwards part of having milkshakes for dinner doesn't sound so bad!  Annie is still my little runt, but seems to be catching up.  At 2 1/2 she was 35" and 27 lbs, in comparison Jacob was 37" and 33 lbs and Gwyn was 39" and 33 lbs.  Here is a video of her singing:



I just can't get enough of Gwyn's people that she draws.  I love how everyone has a distinct belly button:
Jacob decided to come up with the hardest math problem ever for Brian...he solved it and impressed Jacob big time!
Funny things the kids said this week:
Gwyn:  I know how to spell Brian.
Me:  You do, how?
Gwyn:  D-A-D-D-Y
Me:  You're right!  Good job Gwynnie Bear!
Gwyn:  Annie almost bited me!
Me:  How do you know she almost bit you?
Gwyn:  I felt some lick on me.
Annie's prayer at bedtime:  Thank you for God, Amen.
Jacob to Gwyn:  I'm sorry, it was an accident.
Gwyn:  You have a lot of accidents (Brian says this a lot).
Annie yelling at Gwyn and Jacob from inside the house during their swim lessons:  Don't take your goggles off, you have to pay! (I have had to tell her that numerous times that I don't want to pay for swim lessons for her swim teacher to have to put her goggles on for half of the time because she keeps taking them off...I don't think she gets it, but she is yelling at Jacob and Gwyn about it!)
Meredith one of Gwyn's friends who I picked up and took for ice cream after camp:  I like ice cream, but I like fro yo best.
Gwyn:  I don't like fro yo, but I like frozen yogurt with the toppings.
