Trampoline and patio

One of the great benefits of having visitors was having help setting up the trampoline and installing a patio. Grandpa Green and PopPop both worked so hard and we are so grateful. I am especially grateful that the trail from the house to the tramp will not be covered with mud (and thus the house have mud all over it). The boys love the trampoline and weather permitting they are outside almost every day. Andrew asks if we can go to his "trampoline class." Joshua and Jacob have been taking a trampoline class this past winter and Andrew is convinced the trampoline is called the trampoline class.

As many of you know, Joshua was baptized on May 17. We were so blessed to have Grandpa Green, Aunt Bethany, Grandma Johansen and PopPop for the week/weekend. It's always fun to have family around for such occasions.

Happy Birthday, Samuel!

Samuel had a wonderful birthday despite it being very simple. He blew out the candle (with help, of course) and knew instantly that those brownies were something to be desired. We whipped up some cream and plopped it on his tray and the boy was in heaven!! He loved opening his present and really loved when we sang Happy Birthday to him. I'm fairly certain he knew he was the center of attention.
