Summer 2011

Wow....summer is busy and lots of fun! We kicked it off (back in May) with a little camping in the backyard! So fun!

Birthday Party for Fiona and Jane G! So much fun!

We had 6 baby chicks hatch

We took a trip to Wichita when family from the East came for the 4th of July. We had a great time at Exploration Place!

We bought the kids a bunk bed while we were in Wichita!

We had a large family gathering at King's Park in Hesston. It was very sunny...

                                          






The kids cooled off at the splash park

All the Grand and Great Grand kids who were there.

                                                            Fourth of July

 

Ronni went to Uncle Karl's Kamp Way Back When again this summer. She had a great time, and John David and I got to have some Mommy-Son time!

With way too many 100 degree days, we spent lots of time in the pool!

We went to Nana Net's and the kids helped her make spicy pretzels! Yummy!

Great Summer!

Handy Me

The night I got home from the trip with my students, John and I decided to try out some patterns on the bathroom floor....

area rug

Oh and now the bathtub is gone....

 <sigh>

...and the tile sits on the counter. We have bought a tub, toilet, faucets, and light fixtures. The tub will hopefully go in tomorrow. Then the rest of the walls, and subflooring, tile around the tub, paint the rest of the walls (wonder what color to go with), tile on the floor, toilet, countertop, backsplash, medicine cabinet (which needs to be painted), light fixtures, towel hangers, and then possibly the new shelves......Oh and I think I have a different idea for the floor tile......




With all of that, we made time on Saturday to make this puppet theater for church!

It turned out great!!

I love being married to a handy man!!

Garden Party: Chapter 3

 Oh how the radishes have grown! 

They are so cute!!

 The sweet peas are growing crazy...I've seen little climbing tendrils. I can't wait to have yummy pea pods to eat.

Its so cool that beans poke out of the ground all bent over to protect the fragile leaves. Soon it will be a tall plant!
