Mr. Baregies a Mischief...

Jared has officially been driving me insane with all of his mischief!! I can't take it anymore! Everywhere I turn he's dumped something out, unloaded a cupboard, knocked something over, or pulled something down! He wants to do everything I don't want him to do! The more I don't want him to do it, the more he wants to it seems! I have to keep the bathroom shut or else toilet paper will be everywhere, or worse. The other day Andrew left the bathroom door open and I found Jared splashing his hands in the toilet with Andrew's #2's!

Jacob's creations

Jacob has been amazing me with his building skills lately. He builds some of the most amazing cities with the wooden blocks, and lately some really neat creatures with the Duplos, all on his own.
Here he is with two of them, the long necked one he said is an Ultrasaurus. (Is that a real Dinosaur name?)

The boys had fun yesterday painting pictures of flowers for Science. Well, the fun wasn't so much in painting the pictures as in painting each other.
It's washable paint, and they were outside so, I let them just have fun.
Jared also ended up painted....... : ) he had fun too.

Our Summer

Our summer has been so much fun! I haven't posted all summer so I'm posting a bunch of pictures from all the fun different things we did this summer.

There were lots of costumes (at the bottom) as usual, the boys still love to pretend and dress up. Andrew had a fun birthday and turned 5 July 8th.
Grandma (my wonderful mommy : )) Took us to the Montery Bay Aquarium! It was so cool! we had lots of fun staying in a Hotel, riding the trolly, going to the coolest and biggest Park I've ever been to "Dennis the Menace Park", Playing with Blake and Miss Lori (family friends that my Mom and I went with also) , Playing at the beach (it was Jared's first time at the beach), and of course seeing all the amazing beautiful creatures at the Aquarium! It was so amazing having a hammer head inches from our faces, seeing sea horses of all kinds, Jelly Fish, otters, and just everything so up close ! We learned about sea creatures the weeks before, Jacob is in a picture making a sea urchin.
I don't have a picture other than while camping (which I will post later) But Andrew and Jacob had so much fun with Joseph and Hailey! They were always begging to play with one or the other. They were both so sweet to the boys and made many happy memories, thanks you two.

Jared's been crawling everywhere and making a path of destruction everywhere he goes, I'll have to post some of that soon too, I've been taking pictures...helps me not get so frusterated!

Last, Andrew's first day of school was a few weeks ago. We're loving home school, and being able to let Andrew go to the school twice a week.

A Hot Day

Today was HOT! So it was the first day the boys got to swim in their little pool in the yard!
It was fun! Jared watched, he hates water.

Easter Fun

Saturday was lots of fun at Aunt Elisabeth's!

Nana told all the kids a really fun story bout how Easter bunnies are chosen, while the "Easter Bunny" was out hiding eggs.



Finding them was lots of fun for all the cousins!
It was so fun to spend time with so much family!! I will miss everyone that had to go
back to far away states, I love you all!!

We especially enjoyed all the special time we got to spend with Anika! She was so much help to me with the boys when she would come over! They really loved playing with her! We love you Anika!

Fun at the Zoo

We had lots of fun at the zoo last week or two ago, when Andrew, Jacob and Jared's Great Grandma Hatch and cousin Anika were visiting
