Crops and News...

We have been getting alot out of our Tomato plants recently... lots of salsa and tomato salads!


The girls are always asking me to take their picture when they are playing nicely together... I couldn't help it, they looked soooo happy!
In front of a corn field at the end of our street... it is really tall now! We periodically walk down to the cornfield during the season so the girls can see it grow... they are amazed now at how tall it is!
Our cherry tomatoes looking just perfect!
Kayla is doing alright with her potty training... still has a ways to go before the process is complete, but she has kept her underwear dry for the past three evenings!!!! Maybe there is a light at the end of the tunnel!

Football Game

One of my nephews football games was last weekend - he did AWESOME! He had 11 tackles! The girls were very excited to watch him....
but even more excited to watch the cheerleaders!
My girly girls with their purses in their dresses at a football game.... what am I going to do with them?

Niece's Birthday and Weekend fun...

Had fun last weekend hanging out with a couple of my nieces - having a pizza party, playing dress up and playing outside... And seeing another niece compete in the Village Idol competition at the local fair.... she did a great job on the stage and Alexis was sooooooo excited to see her on the stage!

The girls lately....

We've just been hanging out enjoying our summer together the last couple of weeks.... Some pics of the girls.....

Making Butter....

We did actually attempt to make homemade butter... My Boss's wife had made it before and it was sooooo delicious... ours turned out alright, but not as creamy and tasty as hers did.

Shaking the cream to make the butter....
Alexis was intrigued by the solid that was forming from the cream....

The finished product!

Camping Fun

A few weekends ago we went camping for one night with my sister and some friends as well as the kids... it was a great time!



Daddy swimming with the girls...

Kayla was happier up on the shore eating Cheetos (from auntie of course) than being in the water for some reason.

Alexis and her best friend sitting by the campfire after enjoying some s'mores!
Everyone relaxing after cleaning up from dinner...

Daddy putting the glo sticks on the kids so we don't loose any of them!

Cleaning up in the morning... not the funnest part and we'll definitely have to go for more than one day next time.
Of course they had to bounce in the jumpy house

And ride the bumper cars!


Kayla having fun watching them all... she took the picture below...

Birthday Party with Critters

Recently we went to our Neighbors son's Birthday party with Little Critters. The kids loved all of the animals!
