Lake Days

School isn't even out and we have been to the lake! It is so full and so much fun to have so much water. Surprisingly, the water isn't all that cold either! Also, why am I not bringing my nice camera out to the lake?! These pictures don't do justice...oh well. I am too tired and pregnant to care most days.















Pool Prep

The boys were so excited the day we surprised them with buying a pool that they get to play in all summer. It's 15' x 3' and will be perfect for cooling off without having to pack up and go to the pool. Abe removed a section of our fence and brought in some sand and taught the boys how to level out the dirt. (Sawyer worked on making a fire with two pieces of wood... it might take awhile.)  The next step is to put a ditch liner, which is essentially like felt carpet, underneath it. Abe referred to it as a redneck pool. At this point I don't really care and I am glad we have something to do any day of the summer.

Cast Removal

Huge day for this guy right here! He got his cast off, but still will use his crutches for 2-3 more weeks as he transitions from no weight to weight bearing.  He was so flaky and we left quite the trail where ever we went. When we got home he had a much deserved soak and exfoliation!









 Sawyer has been battling contagium mollescum (mostly on his legs) since the beginning of the year. We have been actively treating it for the last couple of months to keep it from spreading and further. His cast helped in covering and preventing any on his leg from being rubbed and spreading, but it left pretty big scars/scabs in many places. But, I think we are nearly done with it and hopefully it stays far away!


His leg was so skinny and and Sawyer just started giggling as he tried to move it. He said, "It feels like my leg is sucking in." How wonderful it must have been for him to bend his knee for the first time in two months!

April Happenings

We have done quite a bit indoor play. The boys have enjoyed bettering their Rumikub game along with hungry hippo. 



 I hit 22 weeks in my pregnancy
 Tulips are blooming


 Farming is in full swing




 Dirt is being dug and learning how to deal with the cast


Check ups and last minute scenic routes to Tahoe
