Corn Hole and Badminton Rule!

The company Matt works for had a family day that actually started during work hours, pretty cool, and if you noticed, they allowed beer also. That kind of environment really builds morale. I need to change professions. :)

Some of life's lessons

We all enjoyed playing outside and getting dirty from head to toe.

At one point, we even got the boys to help weed the garden a little bit.

This weekend, most of the kids babysat the boys on and off. I spent a little time with them everyday and had a blast. On Friday, Uncle Matt and I were able to run around the front yard and show them how lightning bugs' rearends light up. Very important to know! Then Matt had a deep theological discussion with Will. Very interesting! We closed out the evening with Will informing Matt that he wants more cousins, if you know what I mean. I believe we informed him 'one day' or something to that extent. The above photos and following clips are from the fun we had on Saturday. Kids are great!

Will thoroughly enjoyed the sprinkler while Logan did not.

Yes, I'm still excited about the garden.

I say that since the majority of my posts over the last month or so have been on gardening. Those that actually look at this blog may be getting tired of looking at photos of veggies, however, I think it is all fascinating. :)

Las frutas primeras estan aqui, y mas.

I present to you the first green beans and
other items to come. Also, I've been taking a Spanish class and when I get excited I tend to speak the language.

First fruits, almost...

I can see eight tomatoes in this photo!

The beginning of a pea pod!

Things I don't care for...

...the snake I found in the house when I came home from work today. He kindly left by himself, but left me in a bit of a tizzy.

Welcome Zsa Zsa

Zsa Zsa is the newest member of the family. She is a rescue dog and is becoming somewhat accustomed to the noise and active lifestyle of the family (nephews). She is incredibly sweet, a bit skittish and we are happy to have her.

"...and he's dancing like he's never danced before..."

Logan and Will are tearing up the dance floor. Don't miss out on Logan trying to snap. As you can see, these younguns' dancing styles are quite different. :)

Hand Washing

Last night I was at my mom's house and the nephews happened to be over. It came time for dinner and I offered to help wash up the boys. Will, almost three, came in the bathroom first, so I scooped him up on the stool in front of the sink and preceded to help him was his hands. Meanwhile, Logan, one and a half, comes in behind us and figures he can wash his hands in the toilet, which he reasons will do just as good a job. Needless to say, Logan's chubby hands were washed again. It was a cute experience and when I shared it with Matthew, his wise self related it to how we think we are helping God out. All we are actually doing is messing up and washing our hands in the toilet, yet God always scoops us up, and washes us off the proper way, in the sink.
