You can read about our camping trip in my blog. I didn't want to rewrite everything but here are a few pictures that we took on our mini vacation.



This is one of 4 deer that we saw while at our campsite. Julianna wanted to go up and pet the deer. I don't know how many times I had to explain to her that it was wild and could bit.




This is before we left camp the morning of our hike. Kids all are ready to go, digging into the dirt and messing with rocks. lol



Halfway point on our snack break. Korben showing some brotherly love. I do have like 5 other pictures of him giving Julianna bunny ears.




Julianna showing us how Daddy stands. She was hysterical!




This is when we got to the Falls. Matt let Korben go exploring and we found him on top of this huge rock at the bottom. Matt had a good eye on him though.







This was the next day after we cleared camp. We went around the State Park and found this older playground. Kids had fun but Julianna was afraid to go down the slide without Korben by her.

Well I hear Trenton up from his nap, screaming.

I will explain the video of Julianna. She was watching Super Why on PBS yesterday and started singing the song that the Purple Princess sings "I love to spell, S-P-E-L-L!" Well Julianna was singing that song all day, wrong. lol She got the first part right but when it came to spelling 'Spell' she would say S-P-E-E-L or S-P-E-L. I didn't have the heart to correct her so I video taped her instead. =o) Eventually I would sing it with her and she realized she was singing it wrong. I should have taped her without her knowing because she was so much louder and herself. She got shy once I pulled out the camera and was taping her.

Trenton is now staring to really babble. HE is almost blowing raspberries and is doing the Mamamam and nananana and babababa. It is so cute and I was surprised I was able to get some on tape.

I felt bad for Korben because I didn't get him on tape. So I just went into his room and he was building with his Legos. The Legos that you see are only half of what he has.

I just realized after I was watching the video of Trenton that my kids are wearing opposite seasoned clothes. It was chilly that morning so I dressed Trenton correct. Julianna has been wanting to wear her flower dressed for the last couple days so I let her, in the house. She wants to dress up all the time.

Well the first 6 weeks of school is over. Korben got an excellent report card and he couldn't be any happier about that. I told him to keep the grades up!

Math - 86 B
Reading - 88 A
Language (English) - 83 C
Spelling - 87 B
Social Studies - 95 A
Science - 96 A
Art - A
Music - A
Gym - A

He was two points away from a B in Language and he would have made the Principal's List?! I am not sure what they call it when you get all A's and B's. But his grades are 100% better than last year. We saw plenty of C's D's and a few F's in Reading, Spelling and Math.
Oh and he also got the Citizenship Award for his class. That means he is a role model for others and is always helping and has a positive attitude in school.

We also want to wish Aunt Racheal a happy birthday and a late happy anniversary to her and Uncle Jason. Hope you guys get a date night so celebrate! =o)
