Work at the River

The  twins helped us down at the river a while back....part of the bank had fallen in after the November flood....Big Sycamore had lowered enough that it was in the way. Richard cut it up and the boys helped clear the brush....they were good help.

Last thing they did was make a nice woodpile..their idea!  This morning Richard and I went down there and hauled it to town in preparation of more high water...

 

Leaf Time

A few weeks ago we had the twins here one day ...they had a bunch of fun with the leaves.  It was a good day!

 

Kids' Day

One  of the days I had the kids this Summer.  The doctor and her assistant!

Ben was pretty busy on something else!

Howler was helping Emily paint!

 I sure enjoyed the time I spent with the kids this Summer!

Mother's Day

We had a nice time on Mother's Day....nice meal with the family and good times for sure!  I got some  handmade crafts...the flower pots and handprint picture are so cute! Still on the front table...some choclates, two  gift certificates to the local Mexican  restaurant, a nice card too

also this geranium hanging basket, in almost a fushia color and  a big white lilac bush!  I sure like lilacs  and didn't have a white one. We found the perfect place to put it and have it planted! Will enjoy for years!

Sure am grateful for my family and all they do for me.   It was a good day!

All the Pretty Colors

I have a net ball scrubbie project on going..this picture shows some of the net colors I am using.  It is fun to match up what colors you want together!

Valentine craft from the Grandkids!  Love how special they are! Mom is so good to make crafts for the kids to give us! love them!

More Catching Up

Emily earlier in the Summer...had out the totes of Happy Meal Barbies...would line them up and knock them down!

The twins had fun playing on the atv...no doubt imaging some fun adventures.

Finished my grapevine tree a week ago. not real happy with the top, but it'll be alright, at least for now.

More atv fun!  they got these paper bags out of their van and a couple of them went around collecting things from the yard....hickory nuts, seed pods, etc.  fun activity.

This Week

Neat bird nest Richard told me about over in the mae yard...He said a dove had been using it

snail on a leaf over by the garden

We kept Jack and Emily today just because we wanted to.  They were obsessed with this basket of seashells...and there on the table is a book on seashells I found...They enjoyed that too. They were listening to the ocean in this larger shell!

Mute Monday

Day with the Kids

We took care of the three youngest kids for a good part of Friday so Sarah could go with Tyler on his field trip! We had a really good day! Not one fuss or fight of any kind. Here they are playing with the Fisher-Price Little People that our girls had....Sarah has a few at her house too. They enjoyed these a lot.  

Sure was a fun day and glad we were able to spend some extra time with them!

Sunday at the River

 Sure had a good time at the river today!  This is from when we went up the river to a sandy area

Has a level spot that Emily thought she could camp on.

Eventually they went to the top of it and began making a slide down to the river...they had a lot of fun doing this!

this is what is where the pink cabin used to be

Ben and Emily enjoying some grapes

Jack having fun with the water and sand.

Emily testing out the water in the little pool I got for the twins...she said the water was pretty cold!

"washing" her dishes in the water table

Sure enjoyed my river time this weekend....and all the time with the Grandkids....I know I am so very lucky to get to see them so much!
