Kiddie Land

We took a trip to Cleveland in June and enjoyed some time at Kiddie Land.

 Andrew and Grace - she was not so sure about these rides.

Butterflies

We got caterpillars and watched them change to butterflies. These are pictures of us letting them go.

 Grace not so sure she wants the butterfly touching her hand.

 Matthew let one go then caught it again in his bug-catcher.

So excited to let them go!

Gun Safety Class

Jimmy put on a gun safety class for the kids. He taught them the Ten Commandments of Gun Safety and they all passed the test.

The students and teacher

After Grace went to bed, Jimmy showed the boys why they were learning gun safety. BB Guns!

Notice how the guns are pointing down? They learned that in gun safety class.

I'm Back!

I have been having computer issues for over a month but have finally gotten a new computer and got all my files restored some I have so catching up to do! Here are some pics from April.

 Matthew wanted to have breakfast just like Grandpa Bob. Oatmeal with brown sugar and milk. Orange juice and peanut butter toast on a napkin.

 The best bubble maker ever - battery operated instead of Mom-operated.

 Andrew's pretend birthday with Grandma Diane and Grandpa Bob

 Playing dolls with Grandma Diane

 I can't remember why I took this picture. Maybe because it was so cold they had to wear winter coats but it was raining so they wore rain boots too?

 Jimmy found his water balloon launcher.

 Matthew using all his muscles.
