Busy, busy, busy

Well, we have not had a problem this past week with staying busy. Between apples, sweet corn, extra kids, family reunion, the races, swimming and a birthday party our week flew by.


I finished up with the apples that are ready by attempting to make and apple pie. It was a little under cooked the first time Kurtis tried it so I popped it back in the oven and I think it came out okay---not sure though since over 3/4 of it is still sitting on the counter. :)



Jaren had a couple of first time fun events this week. He has been having a little bit of seperation anxiety lately so he needs to get away from mom every now and then. Life's great when mom's around, but he doesn't like to do anything without me. :( Kurtis took Jaren to the races in Osky on Wednesday night. He had so much fun that as soon as they were home he asked when they got to go again. I'm not sure if it was the races or the yummy treats daddy bought that makes him want to rush back. Jaren also got to go to his first friends birthday party. Our cousin Carter turned 5 this week and had a fun sports themed birthday party. Jaren had such a great time.



Friday night we spent at the Pella Aquatic Center with cousins Luke, Reagan, Kenzie & Levi. The kids had a great time on the lazy river and the tube slides. Jaren loved going off the board also. Saturday was spent doing some garage saling while Jaren was at his party and then having fun on the new slip 'n slide Grandma VM bought for the grandkids.



This week I'm hoping will be a slower week other than the kids having Bible School every evening and sweet corn getting ready to be frozen.


Erica lovin' her sweet corn!
