PICNIC PLAYDATE

A couple of weeks ago, the kids and I got together with some other kids and their mommies.  The hostess and I and one other mommy had all gone to elementary school and high school together..so it had been a long time since we'd seen one another.  It was a nice time.  

All of the babies are within 4 months of each other..and all boys.

 Wyatt, Paxton, Hunter, and Travis!!

 Nathan, Wyatt, Paxton, Hunter, and Travis.

Nathan and Travis were born a day apart!

We had a nice time!

Thanks for hosting, Kristin and Tom!!

PIG ROAST #2

Just a few more pictures.

One of the many games of volleyball

 One more picture of the pig.

Did you know that there is only 1 part of the pig that you cannot eat?? Do you know which part it is??

 It was a bit chilly for swimming, but that didn't stop the kiddies from jumping (albeit, gingerly) in.

 

Would you believe, that all 3 of my kids--the ones that eat "real" food--ate the meat!  Very exciting.   

 All in all, I think that everyone had a nice time.

Too bad I didn't take more pictures..but we were too busy doing other things.  Maybe we can have a repeat next year.

Nothing brings people together like a dead pig. :p

6 MONTH STATS

 

6 months old.

We just came back from the doctor and little mister is 28 inches long and 17.4 lbs

Not too shabby!

He has two bottom teeth peeking through and sits moderately.  He would be a champion sitter..IF he could sit still long enough.  He just wants to go.  He is not crawling, but he does maneuver himself around to get where he wants to go.  We're on cereal 1x a day right now and still nursing.  He LOOOOVES the jumper and is a little snuggle-bug.  

We'll see what next month brings, D.V.

PIG ROAST #1

 This past Saturday, we had a pig roast at my parents.

Everyone pitched in in some way.

Mike did most of the cooking.

 The dogs all had a party too..Casela had 3 of her daughters there and of course Buck.

 A little kereoke..

More pictures to come.

THESE BOOTS..

My first pair of boots at 30 years old.

WORK DAY 2011

 A couple of weeks ago, we had another (its turning out to be annual!) work day at our house.  Thanks to all who came out to help us take down some more trees and do some other yard related tasks.

Here are a few pictures.

DAY 2

Big difference, no??
