Random things

We've been keeping very busy over here, but having a fun time also. Last week we were privileged to go take care of Maddy for a couple of days while Karen coached volleyball. The poor girl (Maddy) was so confused Wednesday morning waking up to 3 kids playing with her toys and throwing her off routine. She was much happier when Karen came home and then the next day when she was use to us. :) We took the kids swimming in Nevada and had a great time.

Jaren, Madelyn, Bethany & Erica getting ready to go swimming

Jaren loved going down the water slides

Taking a little snack break

YEAH!!! I'm out of the water!!!

Jaren fast became Maddy's best friend...even to the point of her pulling him off the couch to play and crying when he went downstairs to change his clothes. :)

Bethany drinking the water...um Yum???

What's up with these two and their tongues hanging out?!? :)

Jaren decided to plant some corn in the sandbox this year. He found an old ear of corn in the cornfield and picked the kernels off to plant. It's been pretty fun watching it grow. We didn't think that any ears would grow, but most of them have tassels and ears of corn on them.

Bethany likes to have her picture taken by the corn but is really frustrated with Jaren for taking up the whole sandbox. She has threatened to pull it all out many times. Thankfully they have a reserve pile of sand elsewhere on the yard. :)

Bethany has been begging Kurtis to put together her playhouse for quite a few months. The playhouse got blown away during one of the many storms from last fall. Well, he had time the other night and I think the smiles on the girls' faces says it all. Thank you daddy!!!
