Playin' at the Park

While the boys and I waited for Sister to finish her ballet class we went to the park. It was a great day and a really fun park. Luke loved the swings and the slides. All three boys ran around from play structure to play structure. Then the wonderful ice cream man drove up! What a perfect way to end an afternoon at the park! We'll definitely have to do that again!

Scout Camp

Aaron, Kyler, Jared, Luke & I went out to Camp Riggs for the day with Jared's scout pack. It was lots of fun. They boys shot arrows, climbed the rockwall, built raingutter ragatta boats, and enjoyed a huge water fight. It was a beautiful day and lots of fun!

Redwood Acres Fair

Jared, Caitlyn, Luke & I went to the fair on Fri. to see Sister's entries and enjoy the (expensive) fun. Here are some photos...too many to narrow them down! It was a great afternoon! We all loved the fair!

The Fair

Well....our little Sis did a mighty fine job at the fair! She won ribbons for all her entries.

Floral arrangements- 2 firsts and a best of division

Sewing- a first and a second

cake- first, best of division, best of class

candy- first, best of division, best of class, best of show!!

decorated cupcakes- first, best of division, best of class and best of show!!

WOW! She was very excited to see all those ribbons! Here we come County Fair!

Caitlyn's fair entries...

Caitlyn decided to enter some crafts and baked goods into the Redwood Acres Fair. She entered a skirt and pillow she sewed, a cake, candy and decorated cupcakes, and two flower arangements, a butterfly and red/white/blue theme. All of her entries were fantastic. Off to the fair on Fri. to see how she did! Yeah!

Weeds....

So, in our garden we had more weeds than vegetables. In some places it was hard to tell the plants from the weeds. So, over three days time I weeded...and weeded and weeded! It was a lot of work, but well worth it. Our garden now looks a million times better than it ever has. I put some "weed preventer" on it, we'll see how well that really works. My new plan is "weeding wednesday" I'll try and keep on those weeds!!

Here's a part of the before...

Here's the after....beautiful!

Caitlyn at the Talent show

Caitlyn performed in the Pine Hill talent show. She did a solo ballet performance, and it was really great! I was very proud of her for getting on stage in front of the whole school. She is definitely a performer!

Ky's Jetboat Fieldtrip

Ky and his 3rd grade class went on a fieldtrip up to the Klamath Jet Boats. Aaron took the day off to go with him. They had a blast! It was great weather and the boats were jammin'. They rode way up river and saw lots of wildlife. Ky said the best part was the 360's! What a great fieldtrip!

Caitlyn's Songflute Concert

Yes, we called them "recorders" when I went to school....but now they are songflutes. Caitlyn was taught songflutes in class and she was invited to play in the Spring Concert. She was so excited! After a few song she was even chosen by her music teacher to be a student leader while he played the piano. We were all very impressed. Now she has the music bug and wants to play the flute next year!

Family Bike Ride

A few weeks ago we took advantage of the non-rainy day and went on a family bike ride. We went out Elk River and rode our bikes up the the old town of Faulk. We also stopped to see the sights and throw rocks and sticks into the water. It was a great afternoon, topped off with ice cream at Fresh Freeze!
