Summer Update

Just testing to see if this video uploads.  Here goes nothing.......

Summer Update

So, this update has been too long since the last one.  Since our last update at Easter so much has happened.  The weather has finally gone to summertime.  It is warm with small bursts of thunderstorms but no more days on end of rain.  The trees are fruiting and the garden is in full swing.  The animals are all getting big and for the most part have been moved outside.
Jaythen is out of school. So, the boys no longer get to stay with me just on the weekends.  Now we get the boys for a week at a time so that means lots of bonfires and daytime water fights.  Jax is still in his cast from the broken arm thing and is about to get it off in another week.  Here are just a few of the many overdue pics of the fun times we are having:

                                          Working hard in the garden.

              Geocaching at one of the many historic covered bridges out here.

                                    It just isn't summer unless there's fire.

                                                Another covered bridge.

                                                  WATERFIGHT!!!!!!

                                             The turkey's just love Jax.

                                                    Hello?????

we are having an amazing time here in Ohio.  I cannot tell you how nice it is to see the boys more often.  Check back again soon as I will try to get some videos uploaded in the next couple days.

Easter!

Had a great Easter! Especially since my Mom was here visiting.The boys both got skateboards for Easter. Here is a couple pictures of them, Matt and the girl nextdoor playing with their new presents. My Mom and I definitely hid behind the camera for this one.

Park time. One of the many city parks here in Marion. These pictures I actually got to be in the pictures. With my Mom around there is someone around actually taking pictures of me for once =)

My Mom, Matt and I got to do Easter day with a good chunk of my Dads side of the family up in Cleveland. It was fun getting everyone together and letting my Mom meet all of the new additions to the family. Unfortunately the boys were with their mother Easter day and didn't get to come with us.

My cousin Carrie's two youngest boys getting over their fear of dogs..... My dogs are so good with kids! I was pretty proud!

Update

Spring is definitely around the corner.

Slowly but surely everything is starting to bloom, the weather is getting warmer, and birds are constantly chirping. Its definitely a pretty time of year.

The boys have been at our house the last couple of days. As always, they have been having a blast running around outside and playing with the MANY animals that we seem to be collecting


Here are some new pictures of the boys

This next one is one of my favorites =) That boy sure loves to vacuum! lol.... seriously, he has tried vacuuming everything we own. Maybe its the dollar that we give him after he does it.

Jaythen's chore is to feed the goats. I LOVE this picture. Such a good one!

 

The boys found a Robins nest this morning.... They were so proud of themselves. (Yes, we had to look up which kind of bird the nest belonged to.) Here's a couple pictures of their discovery. So cool! Who would have thought that the eggs really come out that color? I'm sure we will be asked (by the boys) to take MANY pictures of the progress of this particular nest.  We will keep everyone updated.

Matts new job. Matt started his new job at Budweiser two weeks ago. He seems to really enjoy the place as well as all of the new friends he is making there. Here are a couple of pictures that he took with his cell phone to send to his buddies back home. 

New Pics..... more later tonight!
