We heard of this great Regional Park, just 15 minutes from our house. It is the best place ever to camp—we loved it! We went with some great friends and had so much fun we are going back in a few weeks. Here are some pictures of the kids at the amazing water park!

Madies’ New Toy
Compound Words
Jackson the other day told us that his name is a compound word: Jack and Son. He said that Reagan’s was a compound word: Ray and Gun. And our favorite, Matthew is a compound word: Math and eewww. Classic Jackson.

Charts
Madie at 2 years and 2 months weighs 34 pds and is 36 inches tall. Not on any of the charts—not surprising, have you seen the size of her feet? They are nearly as big as Reagan’s (who is 2 1/2 years older).
Lincoln is 4 months. He weighs 16 and a half pounds and is 27 inches long. He is in the 97 percentile for height and only the 75 percentile for weight—huh? All Sage babies, thus far, have always been “off the charts” and when I asked the Dr. if I needed to feed him more because he was so small, she just looked at me. It looks like we may be beginning a new era…

The Perfect Storm
Jackson has turned out to be quite the reader—we weren’t sure, at first, he didn’t seem too interested. In order to get him reading, we had to create our own little “Perfect Storm”—Where, a reader (old palm pilot), a special bedtime (1/2 hour past his bedtime), and Harry Potter all collided to spark the interest of a little boy. He has finished all of the Roald Dahl books (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda, James and the Giant Peach, BFG, etc) and is now on chapter ten of Harry Potter. Way to go Jackson (coming from a proud mama)! If anyone has some great book suggestions for a youth reader—please let me know! We are always on the look out.

Matts Birthday
For Matts birthday this year he got a tie, hat, and shirt—all things he needs—such a practical guy (or maybe his wife, who picked them all out, is the practical one
).
Here are some pictures of him at his birthday party with his family:
Lincoln with grandpa, checking out the amazing birthday candle that was on Matt’s cake—it looked and sounded like fireworks and in the end popped out a spinning flower candle—super cool!
Chase’s Blessing
Chase was blessed by my brother on Matt’s birthday—May 1st. Here are some cute pictures of their family:
Melissa (sis-in-law), Chase, Tay, Luke and my brother Adam. Cute Family!
