I'm Back

but not in black....well...sometimes I wear black, but I digress.... 

I do have lots to catch you up on. So I'll start where I left off.

In June (yes, June...sheesh, it's been a while!), we went to my parents' house . 

The kids played in the yard while my dad randomly decided to cut down some dead branches on their tree. :) We just made sure we were all out of the way when the branches would come down. It may not be very exciting for you but we had a fun time. :)

Trying to give the kids something to do.... 

"See if you can throw the balls into the buckets! That'll be fun!!! Right??"

 It worked for a little bit....

"Did I get it in?"

Sawyer and Laina coloring with chalk.

 Timber!!!!!!

 I thought it was kinda pretty.

 Watching, Bapa.

 Sawing another one to be able to pull it down. 

It was a little nerve-racking for mom and I as we were watching my dad.

Then we went to my Grandma's point the next day.

Charles.

Feeding the kids - 9 of them.

(Melissa has two girls she watches every Sunday - Tuesday. I think that's right...). 

 Oh, silly Jack and Bodie.

Tune in next time to see our trip to South Dakota to visit Marky's family at their ranch.
