Field Trip

Hero and some classmates anxiously await their adventure at Riley's apple farm.

While picking up apples for cider, Hero found a slug on one.

The kids (and mom helpers) had a challenging time making corn husk dolls.

I am thinking that I should make her work harder at home. Next time I need tortillas I will show her this pic.

Alpine Photos

Ransom loves Great Grandpa.


Hero after the zipline. (I've tried to post the video six times, no luck.)


Hero braved the slide into the cold pool.


Jericho loved the pool, but no slide for him.

Cubbie Verse

Here is Jericho's paraphrase of his Cubbie verse:
"While we were...sinners, we will get spankings." Romans 5:8b

Daredevil

I hope this works. I have been having issues with Blogger Video. Anyway, this is how my little guy keeps me on my toes. Yes, normally my step stool is kept in the kitchen but this is just for illustrative purposes. He has done this in the kitchen too (which is even more scary because of the tile floor!

First Day of School

Here are some photos from Hero's first day of First Grade. She was a little scared, but her teacher was very understanding. She made Hero feel right at home. (Mommy was a little weepy herself.) Jericho, however, couldn't wait to leave his sister at school and go home by himself!

For the Love of Mommy

Oh how it stirs my heart to walk into a room and have my youngest crawl toward me. He reaches my feet and looks up with arms outstretched. A pitiful cry is uttered as I stoop down and pick him up. It is then that I notice the odorous vapors wafting from his backside. Does he love me only because I can put clean pants on his tush?

Conversations with Yummibears

(Note: Yummibears are vitamins shaped like Gummy Bears.)

Jericho is given two with his breakfast. After playing with them for a while...

Bear 1: "Okay, Let's jump in the mouth."

Bear 2: "Okay, Let's go!"

Both: AAHHH!

Bear 1: "I can't find you."

Bear 2: "Here I am."

Both: Down, Down, Down..."
