A bit overdue...

Sorry I have been so lazy with my blog. It has been a very busy few weeks here at the house. Between our callings, getting our garden going, and coming to and from Brooks, the past 3 weeks has flown. I cannot believe we are almost 1/2 through June. I need to start having some serious summer fun. So last week from Monday to Saturday the kids and I went down to Brooks to stay with Amy and Tali while my mom and dad were on a golf trip. We missed Justin a TON but we had a lot of fun with Amy. We sure love her....especially Addie! Addison even warmed up to Tali. They became pretty good buds and cuddled together on the chairs ehen Devin was napping...Tali always napped when Devin was as it was the only time he was not chasing her around the house. Sorry Tali!
I a not sure why I don't have any pictures of it, but My friend Lashauna and her kids are temporarily living in Brooks so we spent 2 of the days we were in Brooks hanging out with them in the afternoon. It was great to see them again and get the kids together. We miss them!


One night we went out to lake Newell with Amy and had a little picnic and walked in the dirt/sand/rocks over to the swings. It was such a quiet night at the lake. I have never seen it so deserted. It was kind of nice to have bathingsuit bods everywhere...if you know what I mean! So, we just played and watched the boats a bit.
..oh and put rocks inbetween our toes.... Look at Devin's shadow! He looks like he is floating, not swinging!

What a fun Auntie!
Ok...possibly this is only funny to Amy and I, but we worked on this for way too long not to post it! We tried to make it look like I was eating Devin. He would not sit still though so it proved to be a bit of a challenge. It was funny....had to be there. I think seeing our sad attempts brought the humor.
Nice haircut Dev!



We were originally going to head home Friday morning, but the weather turned rainy so Mom and Dad could not golf and came home early, so we stayed and extra day so we could see them. I am so glad too. We missed them alot and it seemed wierd to be at the house and not see them.
We made some yummy cookies and grandpa made a very special Tali one for Addie. Cute, hey.
So, Dev was so, so cute with dad. The first time he saw grandpa saturday morning he ran up to him, arms extended and gave him a big...long...bear hug. It was adorable. They kind of had this special connection. It was really nice. Devin kind of buddied up with grandpa and Addie with grandma...following her everywhere she went!
These 3 pounced all over each other playing for a long time. I think in this action shot, Dad is about to pounce on Dev and send him into a fit of giggles, and Tali is about to pounce on Dad!

We drove home Saturday morning and we were so happy to see Justin. And I think he was as happy to see me....and my ability to cook dinner.

This week we have had a bulldozer behind the house clearing a path for something to get rid of the bad misquitos...not really sure what he is doing, but it is great entertainment. These are my farmer kids watching the action....
Oh, I hear Devin..just woke up from his nap. Better run! Good timing...no time to proofread, as always. Ignore the typos.
