Needless to say with much stress, a sprained ankle and a possible torn something in his knee (hubby that is) my blogging and picture taking priority has gone by the wayside. So here are a few updates in pictures and I will try hahahahaha attempt to keep this blog updated from now on.

Waiting in the emergency room

Brock and the water "canon"

Gotta love that flower pen

Blueberry Meadows

Yes Brock found many "jackpots:"

Photographic proof that Ty actually picked this year, lol

Thursday

Rearranged the toy area today, and am very happy with the additional room for all the kiddos to play in. Don is out working on his latest project. We now have 1970 and 1973 Volkwagon Beetles that are in the midst of being rejuvenated, they need motor, and body work but we are so excited for the project, it's a whole family thing as hopefully the kids will be able to drive them someday.

Picture failure

I went all day Wednesday not taking a single picture, I did however get the walls in the house washed which I am embarassed to admit I haven't done it several, several years. I woke up this morning to slightly spaghettish arms but so happy to see those gleaming, walls. Yep that's about the extent of excitement for our day. I know the crazy interesting life I live is so glamorous isn't it?

Tuesday Swim Day

We went to the river because the indoor pool didn't have open swim. I posted a video Mom so you could see Ty swimming, so much different from when you were here for Cale's birthday, huh?

It's a thing of beauty

The repair man showed up at 1:30 this afternoon and was gone by 2:15. It took our little air conditioner almost six hours to get down to the temp we normally keep our house at. I am now enjoying a cup of coffee sitting in my sweatshirt. Take that eco-friendly people, lol.

Sunday

Well our air conditioner went out Saturday night and we won't be able to call the repair people until Monday morning so we are dealing with some unbearable temperatures outside which are now sneaking inside.

Yep, thats the temp inside

The black sheet hanging from my ceiling is to keep the heat from coming in from our skylight. It feels like a hot miserable dungeon in here.

Saturday

A leftover from Wednesday night, Brock pulling my childhood stroller as we headed out fishing

Wait for it

See all the dog crack, I mean popcorn in the air

Yummy

Beautiful sunset

Brock crashed hard
