iPhone Randomness

Well child visits. 

Reaction/bruise to a vaccination


I passed the boys riding in the swather to the other side of town
 Picking up the boys after they swathed with Dad

 I get to help every Tuesday in class and I follow it up having lunch with Crew. It's wonderful to sit and snuggle at the table and rub is back. I get asked to help open a million different things and get to know Crew's friends.


We flew my Mom in to watch the boys while Abe and I attended a farmers conference in Denver with his parents. It was super helpful in getting some conversations started and confirmed that Abe and his Dad are doing a spectacular job with the farm business as it moves down the generations. We experience wonderful food, met the Petersen brothers that make farm videos on youtube, and enjoyed a wealth of knowledge from others.




 We had a yummy dinner at the botanical gardens. We had about 2 hours to explore, see, and smell so many plants!









Abe has been working on cleaning up and leveling the farm yard. It's looking pretty great!

First large strawberries of the season harvested and Sawyer is super thrilled about it.

Boys helping me in Reno and we stopped for Costa Vida, yum!


 Second time at the lake, first for Abe


 Girls camp prep in full swing and my house a constant disaster!
 Note left by Crew for Abe. "Dad can you please fix my bruder. Crew." He taped it to the door where Abe comes in from work.

 Sawyer got into my lipstick....
 My garden is blooming




 Threw a farewell party for friends, and I made Sawyer take a nap because I knew it would be late.


 Crew lost his third tooth

 I hit a deer....in my in-laws car. No one was hurt
 Crew climbed in bed with me and fell back to sleep. Love him!

Soccer Camp

Crew and Sawyer participated in a soccer camp for the week. It was a good week but definitely a little busy with prepping for girls camp. Sawyer and Crew were in separate age groups, but I was able to sit and watch both. The boys loved the camp and I think it was a good exposure to sports. I was proud of Crew getting in there and playing his hardest. Especially with kids that had already been playing for a couple of years! Sawyer took some persuasion to participate. In the end he did well.
This experience was to see if the boys would be interested in playing competitively. However, Crew would rather not be on a team and have his weekends free during school. I can understand that and while I wanted to make sure he could choose it if he wanted, I quietly sighed with relief to not have a sports commitment. 












I just wanted one normal picture, with them both smiling. I think that must be too much to ask for!
