some views from my garden this afternoon.
the zoo has wet n’ wild fridays all summer. now last year sean gave it a shot but not this time. he stood there sweating like crazy unwilling to go near any water. lauren had some some cash so we all bummed a sno cone from her. then we headed out to see the animals.
oh, how we love those wet n wild fridays…haven’t gone this year yet…must do it. wonderful pictures, friend! last year we discovered that lauren has a serious love for fireworks. morgan, talby and scott stuck with the sparklers. we have a block party for the 4th. and the water balloon toss….turned fight. and the egg toss. craig was my partner… right after the egg toss it started to rain. we moved the potluck into a neighbor’s garage. the best part of the day hate to be a baby over a blog and all but it has been FOUR days since your last post!!! I know you have shared LOTS on the 4th but it has been FOUR days!!! How sad I am going thru “whatever withdrawals” LOL Wow- I just stumbled onto this blog from another- I am in awe of all the pictures and the BEAUTIFUL house. You have a new fan!
great pics! i put a link on my blog to yours for pictures of the block party. hopefully next year we’ll be here for all the fun. wow. hunter teaching scott to flip. competitiveness runs in the family. shannon acting out a clue for the game Pop 5. big family reunion on craig’s side. annie finally being nice to aunt sherri. we spent all day monday at world’s of fun. dolphin rides…on peter. the pool was perfect for all the kids. okay…how cute is my nephew? i wish i could say they slept like rocks but they were up in the night both nights…ugh. and this isn’t even including the 4th of july block party. thanks to deanne for all the work of putting our trip together i’m curious what the clue was that shannon is acting out. as far as our house goes…this is about as clean as it gets…without paying someone else to do it. so this morning when i forced them to clean again they all went nuts. it’s a proven fact…you can’t stay crabby at a picnic. in the afternoon the family arrived! LOVE the muffin tin snacks. I’ll have to do that with the kids this week. Rain all week long….they are getting to know me by name at blockbuster! oh, i used to do muffin tin snacks with naomi when micah was a baby…i forgot about those…i’ll try it again… : ) perfect activity for a rainy day…can you tell what he’s watching? it’s a U2 concert of course… we had 2 friends come over today at seperate times annie made some nice art before dinner. craig’s family starts to arrive tomorrow…all of them. Looks like little Annie is going to be another aspiring artist like her mother! I see wonderful scrapbook pages in her future! for the record, it makes me…not make me…oh, the lack of spell-check… I am traveling this Sat. to Leav. Ks. for a family reunion also!! Do you know how far you are from Lv. Ks? It is about 30 mins. from Ks.City. Sounds like you are going to have TONS OF FUN at Worlds of Fun and hotels… enjoy!!!
we were up early this morning. it smelled so good. i cleaned up my yard this afternoon. lauren is at camp. I was catching up on your blog and this post about the new babe really hit home for me–i had to laugh b/c its just how i feel when i see a new baby at church. I get that feeling when I hold new babies too. I love new babies. I wish I could put them in my pocket!
