Elora's Baptism and Birthday

 Elora turned 8!

She was baptized in our chuch building by her father (Pete)!

 After her baptism we had a birthday party for her with our family. She chose the dinner too. We had deviled quail eggs, BBQ chicken and lots of good veggies and fruit.

December Fun!

Here are a few things we did in December before Christmas.

Pete and I were in the Forgotten Carols as Constance's parents.

Pete replaced a couple windows in 40 degree weather :)

We decorated our tree and Pepper (the cat) undecorated it.

I made this fun little Christmas tree!

We had such beautiful fall leaves this year!

Summer Catch-up!

We had a fun day in the sun with lots of family.

While at the lake we celebrated Julie and Xander's B-Days.

Julie actually went out on the lake.

The kids had tons of fun in the sand.

Chicken Tractor!

This is what I've been working on!

I know! It's not very pretty, but it works great!

I used all kinds of scraps lying around the yard to build it.

Elora's Teeth

Elora's been having a hard time eating lately. We had hamburgers the other night and it was quite entertaining watching her eat!

Her two front teeth are loose and two of her bottom teeth are missing.

Her front tooth on the left is just dangling, and it has been for several weeks now.

But she wont let me touch it :P

May Day!

So, now that it's the last week of May I'm finally getting around to blogging about the first week of May :)

Every year our little town has a May Day celebration complete with parade, games and venders. The parade just happens to start on our street (right there at the stop sign in the picture).

So every year we stand in our driveway and watch while the kids scramble around picking up candy that people throw at them.

This is the very end of the parade.

Xander and Danika were happy with all the candy they got.

Later that day we went to the DeGeod Bulb farm. They farm Tulips! We bought some plants and strolled through the show garden they have. Then it started pouring right as we were leaving.

My girls!

So, that was our May Day!
