Pictures from our trip

The boys were treated to a crop duster one morning. They enjoyed watching him spray the field just southwest of the house. He has been back one more time, much to their delight!!

Stephen watching very closely.
All of the boys were lined up to see the "show".

Here's a close up of the plane above the neighbor's house.

Here is another one as he is getting ready to spray.

Brech loves helping Grandma clean up. :)

We have had one morning to play at the park the whole trip. This South Dakota wind is something else, as are the temperatures!

Brech calling someone from the play phone. He wouldn't come down off this little house/slide without someone helping him. I know for a fact that he has fallen from higher than that many, many times. He's such a sweetheart! He had a wonderful time at the park too.

Here I am with Taylor, Rebecca and Rex. We were watching The Princess and the Frog with the other kids. There was a scary part that made Taylor jump. She ended up hitting me in the eye. I didn't mind too much, she is my Goddaughter after all...and a sweet niece!

Here are some of the kids eating pizza and drinking juice boxes for our pizza party. They all had a good time until bedtime. Sarah would only sleep with Grandma. Taylor laughed until late into the night. Rex was sad because he's just Rex. Cormac was upset he couldn't sleep UNDER the couch bed like he had the night before. Brech didn't want to sleep no matter what I did. Rebecca wanted to be held, so Juliana slept with her in the recliner. Overall it was a good night, although I'm not too sure Juliana will be volunteering to help out again soon.

Yes, this is an embarrassing picture of me. I have Sarah's CLEAN pull-up on my head with my hair through the leg holes. She thought it was fun and I'm game for goofy things.

Mom cleaned out one cupboard in her kitchen for the kids to have as a "playhouse". Here she is with Brech. They both could fit in there with just a bit of room to spare.

Here they are eating popcorn in their playhouse.

Uncle John was showing off for the boys. They love anything like this.

Here is a skirt I made for Sarah. I made 6 total for her. She loves skirts, but Luke and Jess were having a hard time finding modest skirts that fit her. I am currently making her baby doll some matching outfits with the leftover material.

This is from a tree in my parents front yard. This is the first time it has bloomed this much.

Here is another picture from the tree.
