Snapper

We were visiting Nick's Grandma Adelmann when we saw somthing in the driveway. It's too bad the kids weren't there with us. They would have loved to see the snapping turtle. It must live in the pond on her farm that we fish in. I'm sure Nick is thankful that we only catch bullheads.

Who Dressed You?

W-h-a-t are you wearing!? Who dressed you? 

What I love the most is that she just doesn't care...

Hanna Montana Cowgirl boots

Stripped tights

Red, White and Blue summer dress

Pink and Black fleece jacket

It's a good thing I'm not usually around in the morning to see them off to school.

I just might have to step in and say "You're not leaving the house dressed like that!"

in 10 years I'll probably be saying it for a different reason.

Story Time

I just LOVE that Seth and Sam are all about spending time with Addy. It was almost bedtime, showers were finished and Sam was reading books to her brother and sister. She is one spoiled baby!

Chasing Bugs

We were all at Grandpa Jim's and I was getting ready to run to Cannon Falls to get Subway. I couldn't find Seth so I started walking around the shop. He didn't see me, so I just stood back and watched. I couldn't figure out what he was doing until all of a sudden he dropped to the ground with his hands cupped over the grass.

Ahh - he was chasing bugs.

Tootsers

It's official - Addy has discovered her tootsers. She now likes to hold onto her pant legs to help lift her feet while we put on her socks. She holds up her toes nicely while we change her bottom. She is still practicing with letting her tootsers go so we can fasten her diapers. We have learned to move fast.

Marie's Pool Party

We were invited to a pool party being thrown by Marie Otte, Addy's daycare provider. We were able to adjust our parenting schedule to have Seth and Sam today so they could have some fun too.

Seth forgot his swim trunks and towel. I dropped everyone off at the party to run to Target to pick Addy up some swim diapers. Seth called me just in time to grab him a pair too.

Addy didn't mind the pool - It was just a bit loud in there for her likings.

Ready...Aim...Shoot

Seth was given a BB gun from Nick last year for his birthday. This year, Seth was given another BB gun from his Uncle Brad. We decided that we think he might be ready. Now that we have two, it woud be perfect. They could both learn gun safety together.

Ready... Aim... Shoot...

We were impressed - Sam hit the bulls eye on her first shot. Seth had the stronger BB gun and his were pretty close. They had fun!
