Smart Dad

Yesterday, our family went out to the campground that we love so much. We did not go at all this summer and realized how much we missed it as soon as we got out there. It's so peaceful. As we walked down the path that leads to the water, we noticed new signs along the way that described different types of wildlife we might see. Jay read a lot of them to the boys. On the way back up the path, Josiah pointed at something and said, "Gisdusting, what's that?!" I told him that it was bird poop. And Jay, being the jokester that he is, said, "Next, you will notice some American bird poop..." Up ahead of us, Isaac told Josiah, "Dad knows lots of things."

Pictures below are from today...kids painting and Olivia cleaning everything in sight with a paper towel.

Excuse the cushion. I need to go shop for new ones.


Isaac (not so patiently) waiting his turn

Could you send Olivia to our house for a little cleaning?

Catching up on the Wright family today. I love these blogs, it makes you seem not so far away. It also makes me miss your family sooo much. Waiting for a pic of the newly rearranged boys room. You said you would.

What a good little cleaner! (She didn't use the same paper towel she was painting on, did she? ha!) Their daddy IS smart!!!

Kedra said...

Training her well, Mom! And I love that dress she has on. Where do you shop for your kids clothes?

Dawn Lowe said...

Jay does know lots of things! lol That's good.
I love the pics of Miss Olivia...can she come to our house...and maybe you would come too! I'm with Rachel - this makes you not seem so far away but we sure miss you guys. You were so fun to hang out with!

Love Liv's dress. Love how you take pictures. That is such a weakness of mine--and I wish I had all the good pictures you have!!

I love Livie's dress! And Jay is so smart!

Gary- She's cheap! But she might eat you out of house and home. haha

Rachel- Oh, I guess I still need to take that picture.

Mom- Well, sometimes she uses the paper towel that I wipe her hands off with. But this one was clean. :)

Kedra- That dress is from Gymboree....but it was another girl's from here before it became Olivia's. haha Some friends gave it to us. My poor kids just get Target or Old Navy from me.

Dawn- My kids love to clean. But I'm one of those parents that finds it difficult to actually let them help.

Mindy- We miss you guys, too. We should have taken more advantage of those game nights!

Marcy- Just snap away and you'll find some that you really like. I take a LOT of pictures that you'll never see!!

Lindsey- He is a smarty pants. I think that you and Jay had a pretty good school in Canyon. I missed out!
