Why I am glad we live in the country...

Yesterday after the rain stopped I let Kjerstin and Kehan go outside and play in the puddles. They found a big one and were having fun. I came in the house and looked out the window a few minutes later and this is what I saw...

 

Notice the clothes and his hat all piled up by his tricycle. He got his clothes wet and thought he should just take them off. At one point he was face down trying to swim in the puddle.

 

Here he was pretending to be a frog!

What a kid! He has a tendency to take his clothes off. I am very thankful we live in the country and no one else can witness these things happening.

Our little lady

 

What a little lady we have. She eats her brownie with a fork! Ashlyn is getting pretty good at using utensils. Mostly the fork to spoon still needs some work as she always turns it funny so everything slides off the spoon before it gets in her mouth. She certainly enjoys trying though.

Kehan's Adventures

 

One day last week Kehan fell on one of the trailers we have. He came out with a hand full of slivers. He was screaming so bad and not letting me get them out I told him to sit with his hand in a bowl of warm water. I went about taking care of Ashlyn and getting her in bed and I came back to fine him a sleep with his hand in the bowl. There was water on the floor too. He would start to fall into a deeper sleep and his hand would relax and cause the bowl to tip a bit, then he would immediately straighten his hand back up. It was hard for me even to take his hand out of the water because he knew he was supposed to keep it in there.

 

 

Our little man is trying his hand at being a plumber. To quote his dad, "That is where the money is, go be a plumber." If anyone has had a plumber out to their house you know what it costs per hour to have them there.

Ashlyn in all of her cuteness

 

Isn't she just so cute?! Here are the PJs that say it all. She has really started to look at books a lot now too.

 

Here is my skinny little baby, but we had to prove that she does get a big belly after she eats. Oh, and she loves her baths!

Jet Ski

 

Ashlyn went for her first jet ski ride with her daddy. This was July 26. She had fun until the water splashed in her face when he turned to come back.

Garden Pictures

I thought it would be nice to post some pictures of my garden and some flowers that are growing in one of my flower beds. As you can see is some spots maybe or maybe not I need to do some more weeding. I have kept up pretty good this year! Usually by this time the weeds have over taken my gardens. I guess it goes to show that my kids are getting older, oh, and I am not recovering from a c-section this year, that helps a lot!
Does anyone know the name of this flower?? I think it is some kind of daisy but I am not sure. It is orange with a brown ring like center. I also have the same flower in yellow.


Ok how about this one, does anyone know what this is? It is the same as in the next picture. This one is orange the other one is yellow.



My vegetable garden. I think I will have way too many tomatoes for my needs. If you would like some tomatoes let me know and I will let you know when they are ready.



Here is our ONE squash plant! I swear it grows by 3 feet in diameter every day! Once again come fall-September, let me know if you want some squash! We do not eat it. I plant it purely for Quinten's mom and grandmother!

Sleeping Kjerstin

Here is Kjerstin just the way she fell asleep last night. Our children love books and this shows you just how much! She couldn't put the book down even though her eyes were getting so heavy...just one more page mom, please!
