Just some fun pictures

Three ninjas

Dave and Lily doing push ups (Lily does some great sounds affects with them)

Just cute!

It's fort season.

We get about 8-10 eggs a day now. They are sooooo good. And I love not having to buy them anymore.

Our second Honey Harvest

Home school lesson. We invited a few families over and the kids had a great time playing together, more then watching the harvesting. But it was fun all the same.

Honey and biscuits. YUMMMM!

Our final product. 4 gallons!!!!

Making Vanilla

So a blog that I enjoy had a recipe for making homemade vanilla. That was something that I have been wanting to try this year. So we got the two items that are needed and voila. It was so easy. And in a few months I will be able to enjoy some yummy REAL vanilla.

Father's and their helpers

Who needs a ladder when you have a son on hand?

All for a clothes line.

Dad's night in

So my dear friend Katrina and I went shopping a few weeks back on a Saturday. We went to lunch and then hit a few Goodwills and last we ended up at Hanna Andersson outlet cause they were having a great sale. We found some good deals everywhere and were so excited. We were gone for about 7 hours and the guys did great with all the kids. Of course when we leave them to figure out meals for the kids, they might end up with something interesting. But at least the kids are fed and happy and we all had a great time.

Summer pics we never got on here

So this year we broke down and got a BIG pool. The kids absolutely LOVED it during the hot late summer days. We didn't get it until August but here in OR we didn't really need it until then. It took us 5 days to fill it on our well. We would fill it 3 times for an hour each day. Of course when we drained it, it only took one night. :o)

Girl's night

Since the boys have a boy night every other Tuesday night with their Alert Cadet group (kind of like boy scouts but Christ centered) us girls at home decided to have some girl time. Mia has been almost begging me to teach her how to sew. So thanks to Katrina who told me about this program, we started last night and she was giggling the whole way through. She has almost completed her first project and is loving it. She can't get enough of it and has been working on it during her free time. So fun. Lily just got to hang out in her high chair and eat popcorn, watch Mia and do other things in her chair so I could keep an eye on her and didn't have to run around the house after her.

We are looking forward to the next Tuesday Girl's night. She wishes it was tomorrow.
