We have been busy

Hello everyone! We have been busy and I am sorry for not getting a post done for so long. Adam finished planting beans on Friday afternoon. On Friday night Adam and I went out for supper with our friends Kim and Kevin. We went back to their house and hung out for a while. It was great to go out with them! We had graduation parties to go to Saturday after church. Today we worked around the yard. Carter and Adam got sunburned. I got the little splash pool out for the kids and as you can see from the picture Carter thought he needed to be naked and Kinnick thought he should just get in with all of his clothes on. FUNNY! They enjoyed themselves alot! Well, I am going to watch SoundOff with Keith Murphy and Andy Fales before I go to bed. Have a great week! Love, Steph

Picnic

Hello everyone! Just wanted to share some pictures with you from the picnic that I had outside with the kids last night. We put a blanket on the grass and had our sandwich, chips, fruit snacks and juice outside. It was alot of fun. I think that the kids really enjoyed it! We also jumped on the trampoline and played with the bubble maker. The weather was just perfect to be outdoors. Tonight the boys and I went outside again and this time they played in the dirt in the garden. They were filthy when they were done but they sure had fun. I washed their hands and brought them inside for supper. I made pancakes and put blueberry sauce on top of them. Another mess. My plan was to take them from the table to the bathtub. However, the phone rang just as we were finishing supper and it was Maddie. She was at a friend's house and was going to spend the night but ended up with a stomach ache so I had to go and get her. By the time we got to Algona she said she was starting to feel better but decided that she would still come home. I think they ate too much junk food after school. She went to bed when she got home so we will see what tomorrow brings. Have a super weekend everyone!

HOLY COW!

I feel terrible that I have not posted since APRIL 29TH!!!! I guess it has been a busy week!!! Last week we played outside one night for quite awhile. It was one of the nights that was warm. Maddie and Carter took their kites outside and we decided that we would TRY to fly them. Adam was busy in the fields so it was going to be interesting for sure. We actually got them both in the air and Carter had a blast with his. Maddie got hers stuck in a tree. Lucky for us Adam and my mom were in the yard getting some corn seed loaded in the truck so they stopped to help get it unstuck for her. Shortly after that the wind went down and then it was time to find something else to do. Kinnick and Carter decided that playing in the garden would be lots of fun. Kinnick only tried to eat dirt once. But then he found a walnut and did not want to put it down! He really liked picking up dirt and throwing it over and over and over again. Carter played with his diggers and dozers and shovels and tractors. Maddie decided to run around the yard with Wrigley chasing her. I think they both got a workout!

Maddie's school had grandparents day last Thursday and my went to that with her. They start the morning with mass and then they get to go to the classrooms and see them and do a craft and then they go to have juice and rolls before they go home.

The weekend was okay, it went by too fast! We did not do too much. Some shopping in Mason City and cleaning up the house. The rain was non-stop. It is Wednesday and Adam is hoping to get back into the fields tomorrow. He ended up getting a really bad sinus infection but it worked out that it was during the time that he could not be in the fields anyway. Kinnick and I have to go to Algona this afternoon for appointments at the clinic. Carter is going to my mom's and he is really excited.
