Kids watched Mad Science of NWA

Today we went to SPL again since there's a special event because of their Summer Reading Program and I thought it starts at 10:30am but I was wrong but anyway we made it half way through the show, the guest today was Mad Science of NWA. And I forget to take pictures so these are only the pictures I have.

On Wednesday the 17th of July we head to SPL for storytime and crafts with Ms. Erin which both of my kids loves Ms. Erin.  And on this particular day too our church's children and youth director is taking us to Springdale Aquatic Center for a swim and too bad there's not a lot of the kids from the church came, so it's just me, my kids, Autumn and Hans.  But before we head to the Aquatic center we had a little picnic, and the kids had a fun day and at night we went to church for our church's midweek mosiac and they get to enjoy Ms. Terri and they do some fun activities and play in our newly built playground.

Blueberry picking

I love the playgroup that I'm a member with because our organizer do make sure we do a lot of fun stuff and keep us updated on what is going on around our area that we can enjoy along with our kids and sometimes we do things without our kids.

Today we went berry picking at Berries Unlimited in Prairie Grove, AR.  And I invited our friend Jiji and her daughter Bianca, we picked a lot Blueberries and Raspberries.  And to our surprise a local tv station 5News or KNWA come and take a video of everyone and air it later that evening.  Here's a link to the video.

He is busy picking some blueberries and at the same time busy eating them all up :-)

Quentin's 1st swim lesson at Swim Ranch

This is Quentin's first year of swimming lesson through Swim Ranch located in Fayetteville, AR from June 17-21 at 10:00am.  I joined him in the water because he is in the class called water babies for children 6 months to 4 years old.  While I'm in the water with Quentin, I keep Beatrice busy by letting her play with her Kindle Fire, so meaning I don't have a lot of pictures of Quentin and I in the water.  And he has the same teacher when Beatrice started as a water baby and it was Ms. Susan Gabbard, with all the things that the teacher teach him he likes doing the 1-2-3 Splash, Shallow Jump and of course the Cookie Jar after every class and of course Beatrice got some cookie as well.  There are times he doesn't want to cooperate with me but loved it when Ms. Susan takes him or Jace the assistant of Ms. Susan.

9 years wedding Anniversary and Father's Day

On our 9th year wedding anniversary I came home from work training that morning around 4am and woke up around 8am, pick up some breakfast at Sonic then we went to Sta-N-Step Blueberry Farm to pick blueberries and raspberries(there's not a whole lot when we get there).  Had lunch at Hawaiian Brian which the food tastes like Filipino food.

Picking some raspberries which we didn't get that much.

We picked 2 gallons of blueberries.

And on Sunday which was Father's Day we head to Stilwell, OK after church to meet Matt's parents and see his grandmother that is living in a nursing home facility.  Early that morning Matt with the help of Beatrice made a blueberry pie for his dad and we used the blueberries we picked.  After visiting with his grandma we visited a lot of graveside with his parents and we took pictures of the tombstone for Matt's ancestry that he is working on.  And the kids run and walk around even if it was scorching hot.

Holding hands while walking around the graveside.

Fun time with church kids

We love Springdale Public Library especially Ms. Erin who is the one who lead the storytime, and both of my kids loves her.  During her storytime she always play this song titled Throw the Bean Bag and both of my kids loves to dance along and afterwards she always have a craft for kids to work on which Beatrice loves to do by herself and she may asks me to cut something nicely.  She love working with the scissors and glue. When she's done she will show it to Ms. Erin and Ms. Erin will do the rhyme to her since there's a rhyme that comes with the craft.
