Pool Time


We decided to get the kids a pool a few weeks ago.  It has been so hot here and the kids keep begging me to take them to the lake. It has been the best purchase we have made this year. They have been in it all day everyday! After they do their chores of course!

Baseball Fun

This Summer has been pretty slow compared to our other summers we didn't get to make our usual trip to Missouri. Bryhton went to wrestling camp last week and Brylei was at girls camp so it was pretty quiet around here. Brylei leaves Sunday for volleyball camp and Bryhton has football camp next week. Last night we decided to take advantage of the jefferson county night at our local semi pro baseball field .The tickets were free so we snagged us some.
 The kids always love to watch the mascott Charlie the chukar be silly and dance around
Batter Up!They let the kids run the bases when the game is over! Razden was flirting with a couple teenage girls and told one she was pretty. I should have gotten a picture. Then he went and got Bryhton and introduced him to his new friends. It was so funny. I wish I could have videoed the whole conversation! On the way home he told Bryhton if he was nice that he could come on a double date with him. He is such a character!

Random pics from my phone

 Earlier this spring the kids and I went to the Youth Outdoor skills Day. Despite how cold it was they had lots of fun! They got to try out the duck blinds!
 They got to help go on a bear hunt with the hunting dogs!  Declan and Treagan got to hold onto a couple of the dogs until it was time to release them. They actually treed a bear. Okay it was a stuffed one stuck up in the tree but the kids thought it was pretty cool! These are just a few of the fun things they had for them to do!
 We took the kids to the park to see the memorial flags they had put up for the veterans! Each flag had a name attached and where they fought. It was pretty humbling for the kids to see.
On the 4th of July just before the fireworks started,Treagan came to me and said he had swallowed a quarter. We took him to the emergency room where they xrayed him and said it wasn't coming out on it's own.Can you spot the quarter?They had to put him to sleep and remove it. Hopefully he has learned his lesson.

 Grandpa Harris took us to the civil defense cave and we waked all the way through it. It took us about 2 hours. It was pretty cool.
 During our family reunion we went up to cave falls and went on a hike it was about 3 miles round trip everyone made it. I was so proud of all the kids!
The 4th of July waiting for the Menan parade to start! It was hot but there was minimal complaining!
