the Unexpected

Both of my kids are upstairs quietly "reading"  their library books.  They are supposed to be cleaning the toy box but for now...nobody is doing anything useful.  I can't believe that they have both been to quiet for about 30 minutes.  Even as I write this they sound like they are done but this has been a totally unexpected surprise for the day.

The latest...

This spring and summer have been busy and yet somehow uneventful.  Riley will be starting t-ball soon and during a practice Carter got the first bloody nose of the year.  He was batting and walked right into the pitch.  We also took a trip to Pegram to brand the calves and got good and dirty.  I have been working on the garden and one day the boys decided to make a dam in the extra space in the garden.  They had a great time and played in one spot for 1 1/2 hours.  They had to get in the shower at 11:30 in the morning.  Riley has also officially graduated pre-school and had a great time even though Dusty and I have decided to not put him in kindergarten this coming year.  We are all looking forward to this summer and all the warmth and fun we can stand!









Riley loves to help Dad use the tools

Before we knew it both hands were in the cake and he loved it
