I FINALLY HAVE INTERNET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You can't imagine how much you use internet until you don't have it! Anyway, here's an update on some things you missed - I'll try to make it short :)
Easter
McCormick Railway Park
Lafe had a conference in Scottsdale right by this really fun park, so I took the kids over to meet him for dinner and fun!
Scamper
Yes, a new member of the family. He's really cute, but a little honery (sp?).
Erin's Art Show
She did the Mickey one - she loved Art this year and they had some great projects!
Ethan's Science Experiment
He did a great job!!! He compared the decomposition of wood, a flower, meat (yuck!), and paper. Not the easiest thing to do while transitioning houses!!!
HOUSE DONE!!! (mostly)
If you look close you can see the wagons with boxes from moving our stuff across the street. I'll have to put on a more updated picture with the shutters and stuff.
We had no electricity for the first weekend - and therefore no air conditioning in 108 degrees - but we could get one room working with fans with an extension cord so we all slept in there. If you look close you can see Talin snuggling on Jamie - funny huh?
Kelcie's 5th Birthday
Ethan's 12th Birthday
Ethan turned 12 three days before scout camp - he was so excited. G & G Starr give a tent for the 12th birthday - he LOVED it! and even used it for scout camp!
Homemade Wheat Bread
I did it! I'm determined to figure this out! It turned out nice, I just think my pans are too small, or I need to make more loaves than the recipe said. It was yummy, but I like it a little sweeter or more taste or something - I'll welcome any suggestion/recipes!
Ethan's new Frog - Martian
Ethan has to keep a reptile or amphibian for a month for one of his merit badges, so we settled on a tree frog - cute, huh? He loves him!
..........and some applesauce - the brown is cinnamon applesauce and and red is cherry applesauce. I've never made applesauce before, so it was an experience, and I even canned it, which I think I was more excited about :)
