Here is the latest picture of Axel. He is approximately 5lbs and measuring smaller than all his brothers. But we still love him. The doctor tried to get more pictures in the 4D but he just wouldn't cooperate. He loves to move. Everything still looks great though. Now we just wait for his arrival.

Michael on his first day of second grade. I can't believe he is old enough to be in second grade. He loves it and on his first day he came out and said "Mom I wasn't ready to come home yet!"
Gunnar on his first day of Kindergarten. I have never seen someone so excited. He couldn't wait to go. He loves it. He even wanted me to pack his lunch the night before so that we wouldn't forget anything. I am going to miss him.

This summer we spent 5 weeks in California with our family. One of the highlights was going to Lake Tullock, where we stayed in a Lake House. The boys and JJ loved being able to play in the water and go out in the boat till they passed out. Here are a few pictures highlighting their adventure.

Here is Jorden showing off his trick "no hands!"

He loved to go "skateboarding" with dad. (That is what he called it.) We were just happy that he started enjoying it and not screaming about it.














Gunnar loved to kneeboard once he realized it wasn't scary. He would always stick his tongue out though. After a few days we realized this must be hereditary because JJ does it too.















Michael was the king of kneeboarding. He definitely had to show his brothers how to do it. We tried to get him to stand up but he decided he doesn't like to fall, so he wouldn't do it.
