Summertime!

I think summertime is relaxing only if you're a child or a dog...Yesterday Brent moved a pile of dirt from the north side of the garage. This dirt came from when we built our new garage/playroom 3 or was it 4 years ago. With this dirt, he made an archery backstop, built up the driveway and spread the remainder throughout the woods. The backstop is needed for those "guys" who continually lose their arrows in the woods while attempting to hit the bulls-eye. The driveway was washing away with every minor rainfall. Next week we'll have a load or two of crushed concrete hauled in to help stabilize it.

Being 40

I know Mom posted pictures of Don's party on Bebo...but I had to add a few more.

The moth hatched!

Late last fall Grandpa Kesti gave us a chrysalis. He promised it would hatch in the spring. Spring came and went and no moth. We had given up on it. Then one evening last week there it was opening and shutting it wings on the windowpane! At first the kids thought it had come in from the outdoors. Then I remembered the chrysalis Grandpa had given us. What a fun surprise!

FULL STORY

I purchased a small swimming pool for the kids. It's not much, but they make good use of it. It annoys me to have the wet swim mess in the house, so I've asked them to dress in the sauna. Most of the time the sauna is a jumble of clothing and swimwear and it is difficult to find your clothes when you're only 3 as Aaron is. He came around the house this particular day with a disgusted look on his face saying, " I can't find my stuff in the saunda!" and he hopped on his bike and pedaled away.

Does anybody ride their bike like this?

Let me know if you want the full story behind this one....or is a picture truly worth a thousand words...

5 months old!

Has it really been 5 weeks since I last posted anything!?! I must have been busy or something. Jared is eating cereal once a day, for sure. Soon I'll have to start him on other things. Otherwise he is a happy camper. He is a real social bug.
