I LOVE the above picture! Tim’s very patient with the boys teaching them how to do all kinds of things. Josh has been wanting to learn how to run the forklift all summer. One weekend Tim took a few minutes to show him the controls, how to steer it, how …

Josh has one stubborn baby tooth that has refused to come. He has been wiggling it for MONTHS. I have pushed and pulled on it. Tim has tried to remove it with dental floss. Nothing was working. So, Amanda decided to try pulling it. She wiggled and pulled. and wiggled …

We ordered new tires for our four-wheeler since they were worn out and one of them kept going flat. Tim had told Josh that he could change them if he wanted to give it a try. Of course, Josh LOVES to have a “meaningful task” and couldn’t wait to do …

You were probably thinking the boys are in need of haircuts again (LOL). Not this time. Now it’s the boy’s turn to cut the “grass” hair on their little sock people they made in our co-op Botany class. Aren’t they CUTE? These little guys are made out of socks which …

This is the view out my kitchen window! I had Grandma Bonnie out to help me do some spring cleaning today and that’s why the window is so sparkling clean. The big bush you see out the window is a Lilac Hedge and it smells WONDERFUL! There is a slight …
