Easter

This is as good as it gets at the Sumner household!

With their loot....though I think Julia had eaten most of hers by this point!

Camping in April

Luke and I have decided to do our best to take the kids camping twice a year. Here is our spring trip! My camera battery died the first night we were there -- so I don't have the pictures to prove it -- but it was a wonderful time! The kids love to ride their bikes and cook over fires!

Luke is a master fire builder. He's teaching Noah here:

Success!

We all appreciated their hard work with smores!

March 2012

In March, we played in the fountains....

LOVE the Peel n Sticks!

Our sweet Abby has been a thumbsucker since 2 months old. Our dentist encouraged us to kick this habit by age four.....which will be here in July. So we bought the Thumb Buster, which is a mitten like thing that covers the thumb. The first 48 hours were pretty rough, but she stuck with it. She's so proud of herself  now! Here she is the morning after her first night without sucking. Daddy brought her home a special donut!

One of my all time favorites!

Here the kids are at Agape Flights, sitting right where all the boxes are checked in!

February Favorites

To those of you who check our blog so faithfully -- thank you! I hope this is a happy surprise!

I'm thankful to have pictures to remember what we did in February!

Noah's preschool class had a field trip to Agape. Noah was SO proud to have his classmates see where his daddy works!

 Apparently, we had a mini campfire

 .....with smores of course!

 Abby loves to be girly!

 Me and my Ju Ju!

 Princess dresses made by Great Grandma Jobe!

 In a moment of weakness (I'm sure!), I pulled out the paints. One of the kids favorite activities!

 Ice cream on the beach at sunset....

 Best friends playing at the park!
