Syrus and the Race Car

 

 

 

Syrus and I got the opportunity to sit in Kyle Busch's M&M car and play a simulation car race. Syrus thought it was pretty cool

Veggies...Veggies...MORE VEGGIES!!!

What to do with all this produce!! Our families garden has taken off this year and we have been blessed with more vegetables than I know what to do with. So far we have canned mustard pickles, salsa, beets, blackberry jam, zucchini realish, and frozen zucchini and yellow squash, We have about 15-20 pumpkins, 12 or so cantaloupe, and 3-5 watermelons. Tonight I am going to attempt to start sauerkraut. We have had numerous purple and green cabbage and a few broccoli and cauliflower as well. Our lemon cucumbers are now starting to outnumber everything esle. It's been quite the adventure and I hope next year goes equally as well!

Syrus's Kindergarten Evaluation

Syrus had his Kindergarten testing today! He was so excited but a little confused that he didn't get to start school today along with Isaac. He also had his hearing and speech tested. He did GREAT!!!

Isaac's First day in Third Grade!!!

Today was the first day of school for my sweet Isaac. He started 3rd grade today! He is getting so big and is excited that he will learn how to write in cursive soon.

R.I.P. Mr. Da Frog

Mr. Da Frog is MIA after a fish tank cleaning went bad. On replacing Mr. Da Frog back into the fish tank after it's cleaning, Mr. Da Frog jumped out of the net and darted under the storage room door. The kids are afraid to report that Mr. Da Frog may be lost forever or until his sweet stench will lead us to him.

Bugsty and Shrimp will surely miss him...

Family pictures 2009

We finally had family pictures taken on August 1, 2009. Rachel with Time Held Photography did a wonderful job. I can't wait to get the prints back!!!

My little girls ONE!

Sophie turned one on August 2!! I can't believe it has been a full year. Time as flown by. Family came over to celebrate her Fairy birthday. She is after all our little pixie. She hasn't gotten very big but she is starting to let us know she has a BIG personality!! She got so messy eating her birthday cake that we decided to just throw her into a tub outside. Hailey was a big helper as she tried to give her little sis a bath. I think Hailey had more fun playing with her bubbles. This will be a day to remember.
