Playin catch up...

What have we been up to???? Mostly just LOVING the SUN!!!!! The boys are lovin being outside almost all day... and i'm loving all the walks we've been takin :)  Parx and Bridger are scooter freaks right now... they would scooter around the neighborhood all day if I let them... Grandma Kathy didn't know the nickname "SCOOTER" would be so fitting when she gave it to them at 1 day old.  Anyway.. LIFE IS GOOD.. SOO GOOD! Here are some updates on what's been goin down in Moses lately...
 
I signed up for the gleaning group here a few months ago and the first thing we got was carrots... ALOT of carrots.  ALOT of real dirty carrots. We had to chuck those suckers in the back yard and hose them down FOREVER! We dehydrated tons of carrots.. pickled some carrots...froze carrots... made carrot pancakes... just ate some normal carrot sticks... cooked with carrots.. mainly, we got sick of carrots!
 
After Carrots we got 40 lbs of asparagus... we pickled/canned that.. froze some... and just ate most of it (no pics). We love learning new things to do with produce in the summer... might be one of my favorite parts of the summer!  I'm determined to get good at this stuff!


 
My favorite part was having this little helper by my side!



 Daddy got parx help building some stuff for the garden...Parx LOVES the drill.. This project took waaayyy longer than it should of with his help but dad was so patient and I loved watching them work together!


It was 90 degrees one week.... ya only one week- long enough to give us a good tease :)
In one day we played with three different sprinklers... thanks GRANDMA KATHY!!! They had so much fun!
These boys are crazy on the tramp and notice we still don't have a net up... one day maybe! And parx landed on the tramp in this pic... it looks like he flying off!




 

 
Spring Fest weekend brought to town a sweet carnival... and Bridge rode and LOVED rides for the first time.. ear to ear smiles the entire night! Parx LOVES them too and i'm still wondering why I didn't take any pics of him... hmm sorry P man!
 
 
Ty got stuck riding the rides with the kids and was such a trooper.. we both HATE the kiddy rides that twirl you around and by the end of the night he wasn't feelin so hot but he and Parx got a little crazy and went on some big flippy ones that I think pushed him over the edge :) Sorry babe.. look forward to it for the next 15 years!
 
LAST but not least... Parx and Bridge were in the bath tonight and I looked out the window and it was pouring rain!!!! I couldn't help it... I asked him if he wanted to jump outta the tub and play in the rain and of course he did.. the kid lives for spontaneous fun!! And for me it was the perfect time... naked-no drenched clothes... bath already full of soapy water means easy clean-up and
warm-up! Bridge chickened out.. he kept saying, "No, raining."

Parx got in and out of the bath about 4 times to play outside :) by the forth time it wasn't raining but the tramp was still soaked!
