Happy Father's Day

We are away from Darin this year for Father's Day and we just wanted to let him know that we love and miss him.

I asked Abigail why she loves her daddy and she said this,
"Because He's Funny"
"Because He Has a 4-Wheeler" Her answer, not mine (material possesions are never a good reason to love someone)
"Because He Takes Care of My Puppy"
"Because He takes Care of Me When I'm Sick"
"Because He is Helpful"
"That's all"

Stocker Swim School has Summoned Us

We are in Texas now. I am teaching swimming lessons again this year for my family's business in Texas The Stocker Swim School. I have been so busy since we arrived that I haven't even unpacked. We arrived at 1:00 a.m. on Tuesday morning after driving all day Sunday and Monday. Darin stayed in Idaho to hold down the fort. Abigail is having a blast being a social butterfly and playing with all the kids that come by the Swim School. The twins are doing pretty well, but struggling a bit with having mom work. I will upload some pictures of our trip when we get back to Idaho.

Abigail is a high energy 10 year old. She is Fifth grade for the 2014-2015 school year and she is very much a people person. She loves swimming, shopping, crafts and cooking, but her most favorite thing is dance. She has also really been working hard on her tumbling over the past year or so. Abigail loves playing the piano and singing as well. Abigail has developed an interest in pageants, we will have to see where that interest takes her in the future. She is a bit of a neat freak, really good at doing household chores, and is VERY Squemish. Abigail is the best big sister and is a great example to her three younger siblings

Emily is 7 now and loves to play with her sisters and other kids. She is in first grade for the 2014-2015 school-year. She is confident, outgoing, and likes to be in charge. She is very sweet and loving and fun to talk to. She can be pretty silly at times and when she starts giggling there is no stopping her. She loves to talk and makes our hearts melt when she looks at us with those big hazel eyes. Emily is a people-pleaser and loves compliments. She has really grown to love dance and cheerleading this past year and it is very apparent that Abigail is her role model. Emily is our resident girly girl; she loves everything pink, glittery, and posh! She loves to help out around the house and thrives on praise. She is a good girl and we love her very much.

Elizabeth is 7 as well. She is full of charisma and is very spunky. Sugar and Spice is what makes up Elizabeth's personality. She is a great snuggler and cuddler, but has a mischievous streak and you can tell when she is up to something by the twinkle in her eye. She is sometimes cautious and unsure about herself, but a very deep thinker. She has an analytic brain and is our resident tom boy. She loves jeans, t-shirts, baseball caps, and monster trucks. Her favorite pass time is spent playing soccer or basketball. She has also started gymnastics this year and she is a natural. She is very strong for her size and extremely coordinated. She loves to give hugs and kisses, but if you cross her, you may regret it. Elizabeth never hesitates to express herself when it comes to people she feels comfortable with. Elizabeth loves to laugh and has a great sense of humor. She is pretty darn funny. She can make almost anything turn into a joke.
