July Fun!!!!

Well it has been a very busy July. First we lost Mark's grandma Maxine Nelson. She went to be with the Lord on the 10th. Mark and I were able to stay at her bedside for the last couple days in the hospital. Then it was a busy week of day camp for the kids. They had a blast for the three days they got to go. On Thursday the 16th my mother, the kids and I headed to Omaha for three days. Had a great time with family, stayed at my aunts house. On Friday we spent the day at the Zoo. The kids had a blast!!! I took over 150 pictures. We enjoyed the train ride around the zoo. I will get some pics on here later. Now it's time to get the kids back on a schedule, can't believe that school will start in a month. Till next time!

Fish Days

The only ride that Cadee enjoyed. She loved the bunny! Cayla enjoying the ride on the dragon, you can see Cadee and Ciara in the one behind her..Cadee did ok till the end and started to cry.

Chris was the only brave one, he rode the ferris wheel with a family friend. Cayla throwing three balls to win the prize, she did great. Won the hat!
Ciara picked out this purse for winning at the dart balloons! Chris, Ciara and Cayla going down the big slide, Chris is the one who lost his bag...he got to go when he got his bag.

Cadee wouldn't get inside the truck. Had to take it next to papa fav type of truck. Chris Winning his prize, he shot really good Mark said. He picked out a dart gun. He really is having fun with it.

Cadee getting to do her game with dad, picked up three ducks, all were winners-she picked out the bear.

The kids had a great day Saturday at Fish Days. The morning we went to the parade where we got a bucket full of candy, then off to the rides. Then about 2p we took Cayla and Cadee to papa and grandma jude for naps. Mark and I then took Ciara and Chris to the demolition derby. That was a lot of fun, the weather was nice...could have been a little warmer.( had to dig out the winter coats for all of us) It was an exciting time, the car that we bid on in the calcutta didn't win though. :( It was a long day and everybody crashed.

Babysitting

This is the underground playground Mark made for the kids. They love to play out in the trees!

I thought that my house was busy, I know now that it can get busier. This week we are watching an 11mon old. He is full of energy. My kids all want to mother him. I'm not sure who will win by the end of the week. Also this week we have VBS at the church. The kids are loving it. I'll get you some pics of VBS later.

The Grass is growing!!! We cleared out a bunch of trees and junk.

Ciara's track meet. Throwing the frizbe..placed 2nd.

Well, I realize that I'm not very good at keeping this updated. Now that school is out, the days are full of excitement! I have to learn how to cook for 4 kids at dinner again. Enjoyed the nice weather to get my garden planted and my flowers all planted. The kids are enjoying every day. Not much for news here. Enjoy the pics.
