Lake Havasu




We went to Lake Havasu, Arizona with Mike's family the end of May. The best part of the trip was seeing the kids enjoy themselves so much. Here is Michaela playing in the water. She loved filling up her little watering can and pouring it out.






Jake couldn't believe that he could splash as much as he wanted, since at home in the bathtub he frequently gets into trouble for it.









This is what it is all about















In May, the boys were playing outside, and Caleb walked back in the house covered in mud with his hands behind his back. "Mommy, I have a surprise for you." He whisked these beautiful "flowers" out into my face. "I picked these just for you," he beamed. Then Jake handed me a bent, squished "flower." "I picked this for you, too," he said. Days like this make all the long days of changing diapers, wiping dirty faces and feeding hungry tummies worth every minute.
