Going Camping

We are heading out for our big family campout this weekend. The boys are so excited they can't wait to leave. I will post some pictures when we get back.

Summer Time

We have been having a good summer so far. We have been to the library to see the animals of Mark's Ark. Max got to hold a real alligator. We have been spending a lot of time in the pool after we get our chores done.

Happy Birthday Oliver!!

Happy Birthday Oliver!!! He is three years old already. We had a baseball game tonight. Dakota hit two home runs and a triple. He is turning into a pretty good hitter. Max got all singles and one double. He was excited about getting to go extra bases.

New tricks

We were out in the yard trying to teach Betsy a new trick for the Hoagland days pet parade. Betsy now knows how to drink milk from a sippy cup. I know it is really useful but any dog can rollover. I gave Autym the camera. I guess she hasn't learned to watch background yet. Especially when you have a 3 year old getting potty trained and he thinks it's great to potty outside. Another picture my kids are going to kill me over but it made me laugh out loud.

Field Day

Yesterday the boys had field day for their school. It was at Paige's Crossing in Columbia City. They had the whole park to themselves. It was a little cold and rainy but the kids didn't mind. Max summed it up on the way home by saying, "Mom that was a good day."

Lots of changes coming soon

Two and a half days of school left for Dakota and he will no longer be a 1st grader. Tomorrow is field day his class is going to Paiges Crossing in Columbia City. Max is coming along with Dakota and I.

I have been elected to next years school board. This should pose some interesting challenges.
