What we have been up to...

Bunk beds and more bunk beds. This project is much bigger than we expected. We have learned a lot through this process. There is still a tiny desire to make our own bed (both plans are from this awesome site http://www.knock-offwood.com/ with free, somewhat simple, plans). We are not finished setting them up, or painting them for that matter, so there is still time to change our mind.


Bring a friend to dance day:
Reagan brought her friend Lauren and had a great time

Ainsley brought her friend Kaitlyn and was seriously so excited about it.



And Will and I hang out.




We visited the butterfly exhibit at the local zoo with some good friends.
Will, Turiya, Ainsley, Reagan, Serenity, and Destany


Turiya wanted her picture taken with this giraffe. Turiya is a huge help with Will and loves babies.

All the kids loved sorting the food and feeding the pretend animals



Will is still into everything and getting smarter every day. He shakes the gate daily but it is still holding up... for now.

Poor Maddie cannot eat a single meal without Will involved. He stays right by her and loves to stir her food with a toy, or his hand. Luckily, she puts up with it.


I accomplished a huge personal goal by canning a batch of tomatoes. I only got 6 jars because my tomato plants have some disease (still learning on the gardening front) but I am proud that I learned how.

We are exhausted. Too many big projects at one time.

Last but not least, Levi and Christy had a beautiful baby girl this week. The kids have a new cousin, Amelia.
