I finally unloaded my cheap-o camera. I take that camera on road trips and other places my nice camera could be ruined. I didn't realize that I hadn't unloaded it in months. I had pictures on their from May. :) I thought I'd include some of my favorites.
There are 6 horses that live a couple of blocks from us. The kids and I like to walk over there to see them. One of the horses almost always comes up to the fence for some carrots or grass. Sure enough, the one time I bring my camera, he doesn't come. The kids were pretty disappointed!
We had a summer barbeque at our friends' house, Nate and Mandy. It was a lot of fun. The mom's ended up taking the kids to the zoo and the dad's all golfed. Who got the short end of the stick on that one? :) We had a great time at the zoo. We didn't lose anyone, which was what we were fearing. There were 6 kids and 3 adults. We were a tad outnumbered, but the kids behaved really well.
The girls on the camel at the zoo. Rhea is a month younger than the twins (in the front), next is Lillian who will be 3 soon, and Finn is 1 1/2. The kids had fun playing with each other!
These next pictures are from the 4th of July. I can't believe it was all ready 2 months ago.
Mia wouldn't get on the tube. She's my little chicken. I guess I can count on her hardly getting hurt!
Do you see how cautious they are going across the bridge? You should see Ethan going across it. It'd make you laugh. He runs as fast and as hard as he can and tries to bounce the girls. Maybe that's why they are holding on for dear life.
I hope everyone had a good Labor Day weekend. Mike was in Phoenix for a business trip. Our kids went to Chamberlain to spend it with Mike's parents. They were well-behaved with Grandma and Grandpa. It sounds like they played a lot outside. They were going to go boating, but it didn't quite work out. The kids were playing in the boat and turned the key on. They went down to the water and put the boat in and it wouldn't start. :) Only my kids. I'm sure his parents just laughed about it. One of my good friends came and stayed the weekend with me along with her hubby and little girl. We did a ton of shopping. (Gotta love the labor day sales!) Her husband is leaving for Afghanistan in a few weeks. He'll be gone a year. If you could please say some prayers for them. His job will be finding and dismanteling IED's.
I also started the brick-staining project on the front of our house. It took me 10 hours to do the front. We still have the chimney and a half-wall to do. Ugh. I'll post some pictures when it's done!
