4th of July

We had a great 4th of July weekend.  Camping, parades, fireworks and all.  It was so fun and the kids and Carl and I had a lot of fun dressing up in all the fun hats and stuff that Jerica sent to us.  Picture overload ahead...

Conversations with Kya

This morning Kya asked, "Mom, do you want some of Pepper's babies"
Me: "She's too young still for puppies"
Kya: "Well, we have to get a boy dog first"
Me: "What do you know about that"
Kya: "(nanny) told me that boy dogs and girl dogs have to play around together to get babies"
Me: "Really, huh"
Kya: "Ya, so Pepper can sniff the boy dog and then they won't fight"

Wow, birds and the bees already?  Nooooooo....she's only 4, let me keep my little girl a little longer.

Bowling and Camping

A few weeks ago we went bowling as a family.  One game and the kids were done....but we had fun.

Zander always points his finger when he tells us something that is important to him.  I think he was saying it is his turn now.

Then the fourth of July weekend we went camping with Carl's parents and his brother.  The boys went up to chop wood for their grandma, and then rest of us went along for the ride.  I did have some great video of me sawing some trees with the chain saw...but somehow my computer froze up while uploading pics and ruined my card....so a LOT of pictures and video lost.  Gonna have to get some more...which just means I will have to saw more wood again.  It was pretty fun, for just a few cuts.

Kya fashioned a leash for Pepper and the kids took her for a walk while hunting butterflies.

And they found one...again, another really great storyboard picture that I edited, but alas...it was lost.  This great monarch butterfly was found in the front grill of grandpa's truck.  YUP, its dead, but still pretty.  Zander pulled it out and brought it to me.  hahaha
