The boys are giants

All three boys have outgrown their clothes. You would think there was a flood around here the way their pants are fitting. I have been trying to put away all of Oliver's clothes that are too small but he keeps telling me they are his and he wants them. I guess he really likes his clothes.

Sad News

Dakota's gray kitten died. He and Max were very distraught about the kitten. Dakota really loved that little guy and took very good care of him. He is getting another kitten but we are leaving it at grandma's until they get a little bit bigger and can defend themselves against the dogs.

New Kittens

Our family has two new kittens. One is Max's and he named it 'Boomber'. The other one (grey one) is Dakota's and Oliver's. Dakota named it 'Shaggy'. He wanted Max to name his 'Scooby' but Max wasn't going for it. They have been doing a great job of taking care of them. Dakota always wants to make sure they have food and water.

My droopy dogs

Our dogs are still trying to soak up as much summer as they can. Sophie just cracks me up.

1st Soccer Game of the season

Dakota and Max had their first soccer game of the year. They both moved up a league this year. Max is now in the U-8 and Dakota is in the U-10. Dakota and Max both scored a goal in their games. We went out to lunch after the game and since they both scored a goal they got their own shake.

Safety Village

Max's kindergarten class went to Safety Village. They learned how to be safe pedestrians. They also got to ride on the power wheels. Max was a little bored with this because they only got to ride in 1st gear. I would have taken pictures but the battery in my camera is was dead.

Charlie the Trailer

I have bought a horse trailer. Well it is actually kind of my 10 year wedding gift from Dane. It is what you call a fixer-upper but hey it's everything I buy. Remember the house we live in. I can't wait to see it when it's done. Dakota went in it today and said, "I think it needs some rusteze." Anyway, I have started another blog so that you can chart the progress of my trailer. I have named him "Charlie". I know what you are thinking. "What a great name for a trailer." Here is the link to the new blog if you would like to follow along on the progress.

Trail Riding

I went trail riding yesterday with mom and two of her friends. We had a great time. Sorry no pictures. Every time I tried to take one my horse would move. So I have a couple great shots of the ground.

Max's sunflower garden

Max and I planted sunflower seeds this year. We have been watching them get bigger and bigger. Max told me one day, "Mom I don't know how I got so good at growing stuff." The fun thing about sunflowers is that they grow very fast. He really liked going outside everyday to see how much bigger the plants had got. He measuring system was who in the family they were taller than.

Tomatoes

We got two tomatoes out of our garden. We have been having trouble getting them to ripen this year. The other problem is that the dogs seem to love tomatoes. They have been stealing them before they can even get ripe. Oliver picked these two tomatoes and said, "Mom let's go eat them."

The Children't Museum

Max and Dakota went to the Indianapolis Children's Museum with their school. They had a great time. We wished we had more time to enjoy the exhibits. They liked the star wars exhibit a lot.
