I love the summer setting in and how we're able to go out and enjoy family and having fun in warm weather. Hailie and Derek had come up for the weekend and her little guy, Ryker, loves outside, which set just fine with my kids.
Peyton is learning the wheel barrel walk and she will stop in the middle of nowhere (walking into church....in her skirt) and ask you to grab her feet!
Uncle Kyle is always a favorite to play with in the yard because he's in shape and can actually keep up with the kids :)
With a new house, come maintenance and kink fixing. While getting our egress windows installed, we accidentally interrupted the power that ran out to the pump that runs our sprinklers. So, we figured, if you're gonna do a job, do it right. So we rented a trencher and went to town putting in a new power source to the pump. Well, we unintentionally hit a few sprinkler pipes along the way.
Good thing Dayn is handy when it comes to sprinkler piping. We rented his services for a few hours and made quick work fixing the pipe.
A family friend, Bard, came and helped us make sure the power source was legal and met regulations so we weren't in any trouble.
Then we were able to celebrate a 2nd birthday in our new home, Chris's 10th!!! I was really awful about taking pictures, but he did get a new bike, and some cup cakes....he really wanted cherry pie, but with unexpected changes in when I had him made for me not quite getting them done for him :( Maybe for Thanksgiving!
I know, I know, we do all that work to get the sprinklers fixed.....and my kids are running through a hose powered sprinkler to cool off! We were still working out the kinks in the system and the kids wanted to play NOW! So we improvised in order to keep them happy while we worked!
Charly LOVES being outside!!! She would stay out there all by herself, all day long, if we'd let her.
Chris was helping dad fill back in the trench once all the work was done on the sprinkling system.
For FHE while Michelle and Paxon were visiting, we decided to have a lesson on the Lord creating animals. So we went over to our friend, Debbie's, to see all her and her mom's animals. They have so many and the kids were really interested.
Paxon wasn't scared of petting the bunnies....like my kids were.
Charly did have fun watching Debbie feed the horses bread.
Charly, just like her mommy....and her sister, loves playing in boxes! Cute turd!
She finally is CRAWLING!!!! She's 10 months old....and finally figured it out. She wasn't too concerned and I knew she'd do it in her own good time. Now we have to teach her to do stairs.
2 pig tails!!! I'm loving that her hair is getting longer and I'm able to do a little more stuff with it. She's not too thrilled about me pulling on it, but she dislikes even more when she can't look where she wants to while I'm putting in the elastics.
