August 2014

August 10th, Benjamin eating yummy pasta...

 August 14th, The first day of school. Nathanial has Mrs. Jordan for 2nd grade and Christopher has Mrs. Nutt for Kindergarten...

 August 15th, Emily had an accident and I told her to go sit in the tub and wait for me, this is what I found...

 Benjamin has decided that he is big enough to go up the stairs...

He is very proud of himself...

Christopher Turns 6

Christopher turned 6 on August 23rd. He wanted a Ninja Turtle birthday. Christopher has been very destructive lately and so we decided for his birthday he was going to get all the things that he broke...

 He ended up with hangers, paper towels, toilet paper, and clorox wipes. He was actually happy about it.

At the very end of the day after Christopher was in bed we gave him "real" presents: A ninja turtle watch, shirt, and hat.

July 2014 A Visit from Lanie

While Lanie was here we decided to go to Sioux Falls. We went to the zoo...

Emily and Lanie playing with Play-Doh

This year we planted a pretty big garden.  We planted tomatoes, peppers, squash, zucchini, pumpkins, cucumbers, herbs, peas, beans, onions, radishes, carrots, and corn. Some did better than others, we were only able to grow 5 ears of corn, but it was the BEST corn we have EVER had!!!

For mutual we made these signs...
