Flowers...

I don't know who took these pictures or where they were taken... :D We usually have a lot of pictures of flowers and plants on our computer. :D

Yesterday morning we went garage sale-ing (okay, I guess that's not a word! :D). We found a few things, but mostly a bunch of.... junk (for lack of a better word). Then we went to the hardware store to rent an edger.

We spent about 4 hours edging our sidewalk. It was really long... I was quite surprised that it took that long for our whole family. We do have quite a bit of sidewalk though. We haven't done it in years (or maybe we've never done it.... ?) so that's probably why it took so long. Anyway, we were glad when it was done!

Then we came inside and made homemade pizza for dinner. We LOVE it! We usually do sausage and green pepper and it is amazing!!! :D Then we played games for a while, and then we watched Facing the Giants. :D

I hope everyone had a great weekend!

Life is never boring with brothers

Seth and his friend Lauren riding a tricycle together. :D

He fits in the pantry! Haha :D Probably not the best thing for the shelves, though.

Ian and Seth definitely make life interesting. :D Everything is much more fun with them (well most things)!

The best brother ever! Okay, one of them. :D

This morning I went upstairs looking for Ian and found him making Andrea's bed for her. He is so sweet! He didn't do it exactly how Andrea would have (hence the doll, blanket and wrinkles :D), but it was such a kind thought! He is an awesome brother! :D

Babysitting Seth

As you will probably be able to tell by the pictures, Sethie and I had a lot of fun
playing outside! :D

Picking blueberries

Picking raspberries

Doing an obstacle course

...around the tree.....

Swinging

He has a pretty powerful swing (sometimes)!

One of Ian and Seth's favorite things to do

I praise you, O Lord, because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
Psalm 139:14

Grapes

We are getting so many grapes this year! They are not ripe yet, so we haven't tried any, but they are getting there. The last week or so we have started getting quite a few raspberries. They are so good! Raspberries are my favorite fruit. :D Then next month we will get peaches! Yay! We got some last year, but it looks like we will be getting a lot more this year. Exciting!
