It's summer...need water

3 amigos

It's summer time and the heat is on. It has been so hot. This has been a great purchase for the boys, for our family. Danny and I have even gotten in this little pool on the hot sweltering nights of Misery, I mean Missouri. Audrey has taken a dip a time or two but I haven't got a picture of her in it yet.

Big boy-little slide.

I took a picture of Audrey and myself while we were watching the boys on the slippin slide. This is the best one I could get of us. Just check out those cheeks!

Check out those thighs! What can I say, she's gettng some good cream!

Look at this beauty! I Love this close up one of her!

My Cole-Man and princess. She didn't so much like his cold, wet body next to her.

Look at the happiness on Nate's face!

Can you tell that Josh is having a blast!

Colton is getting a helping hand from Daddy. But after that first push, he didn't need any more help, he figured it out pretty quickly. He loved it!

Thanks to grandma for all the fun of the slippin slide!

Deanna Rose Farmstead

We had a free Monday morning so we decided on visiting the Deanna Rose Farmstead. After 2 years of being here and being told we should visit it-we made it. This is a farmstead and has a variety of farm animals for us city folks to view. It's free to the public because the founder, Deanna Rose, had a love of animals and wanted to share that love with everyone else. The boys had a blast. We would have stayed longer but our bellies were aching for some food cause we made a dumb mistake and went shortly before lunch. That's why we'll just have to go back.

Nate and Josh had to get up there and get a picture. As you can see Josh could barely reach.



Nate had to have his photo at the mining exhibit.

Colton is pointing out the little calf to us.

Josh is milking the cow, Nate did it too, but we couldn't get Colton to touch it.

3 of my 4 little calves.

Josh outside his own tepee.

Audrey and mommy had their own tepee. Colton was being weird and refused to get near them.

We splurged and let them enjoy a small ride on a horse. Josh got to enjoy it a little longer cause the horse took a good long potty break while he was on him.

Nate takes his turn and loves it!

While the boys rode the horse, Danny bought some duck food and let Colton feed the ducks. He absolutely loved that. His brothers however, wanted to steal all his duck food. They didn't like that we wouldn't give them any-kind of ticked them off. Hehehe!

And finally a good close shot of our princess. She's just the sweetest baby girl we could ask for. She was so good the entire time, she even fell asleep in her front carrier. We had a great time, just crazy how long it took us to get here. So, also sorry about all the text being different and underlined. I can't figure out what I did to make it underlined and so I don't know what I need to do to undo it and it's super late. I'm just going to publish it this way cause it's midnight and I'm ready to get in bed so sorry.
