Last Week

It's a week of lasts. Last week that my mom will be here, last week of school, last baseball game on Friday, etc. I'm ready for the kids to be home for summer and yet I feel like I need one more week to figure out how I'll manage 4 kids all at once on my own. But I suppose on the job training is the best kind.





We've had some storms and the last one we had left us a treat! (it is a full rainbow but this all that I could fit in my camera)



Den took J out for his first how to handle a gun/hunting lesson. (unloaded for those of you that might worry) Den said he took it very seriously and followed all the rules.



A trip to mom mom's is not complete w/o a ride on the four wheeler.

V was really into finding potato bugs.
He's also showing more interest in his baby bro.
Dad was here for a few days and the kids LOVED it. I don't know if it was the most relaxing time for Grandpa, but I know he loved it too!
Sister looks innocent, but check out V's hair.
He didn't seem to mind.
We went mini golfing w/ mom and dad. Free plastic clubs for under age 5, V was in heaven!
Baby dedication at 2 wks old.
Last day with Grandpa.
They were visiting on the couch... J="V, we live on planet earth. Can you say planet earth?"
J was entertaining B while I crushed strawberries for jam.
Catching some fresh air while the kids attempted to fly kites.
A moment of success!


Who needs a roller coaster when you have the spin cycle on a washing machine?

Great photos. Ok, l'm sure it was huge moment for D to be able to begin sharing his gun-love with his son! We all know he will be a VERY responsible instructor. V looks like a little angel and just like a mini-Jesse, no? The shot of E's hairstyle on V was hilarious. Loved your moby too - the chocolate is rich looking. Now I am sorry I didn't order in that color (and several others) too! xoxo
