Uh oh, he's got that look...




And he jumped.


Monkey see, monkey do.




Notice her hand...I love it!:)

Here's some of the kids roasting marshmallows.




Looks like Naomi lost her marshmallow.


A little volleyball over the woodpile.


And, this picture I just really liked:)

Sunday Evening Fun

Last Sunday, we had a quiet evening at home. So, we took advantage of the beautiful weather and went outside. The kids rode the go-cart, 3-wheeler, and we roasted marshmallows.




Naomi is not driving, just pretending.

Early Morning Fishing

Last Saturday, Adam, Jacob & Heidi woke up early and went fishing. Adam said those two love to fish...they just cast and reel, cast and reel.


Adam caught the catfish, Jacob caught the medium one and Heidi caught the one she's holding.

Repelling and Photo Shoots

Two weeks ago the kids and I drove to Peoria, IL to watch my sister repell from a 7 story building. Why would she do this, you ask? She works for Boy Scouts of America and it was for a fundraisor. This was way out of her comfort box, so very worth the three hour drive. She had a set time to repell...and wouldn't you know it...her husband, Ryan and I missed it!!! She went early! But, out of love for us both...she did it again so we could see. That there is love!:)



This is the 7 story building she repelled from. My knees were shaking just looking at it from the ground! Afterwards, the kids and I, my mom, my sister Mollie, and my sister Amanda and her husband went to Chili's for lunch. My favorite...and we don't have one in Quincy.:) After lunch we attempted a quick girls picture. Not so much. I only posted a few out of the many that were taken. Thanks Shawn!



Mollie doing a little tree trimming.





So, there we are...left to right...Mollie, me, mom, Amanda.

What we do for fun in Missouri

I love when the kids are creative, and come up with things on their own to do...most of the time. One day, I looked out my window to find this...



Yep, that's Jacob climbing the flagpole in our front yard, with Nemion and Naomi watching.



Nemion decides that looks like a pretty good idea and joins him...at the same time.





I got a video of Jacob climbing pretty high, but I can't get it to load. Hopefully, I can figure that out.
