egg basket. first dozen. g'pa and g'ma batt visit. levi ties knots!

tuesday, september 28, 2010.

last night we were reading in one of our chicken keeping books. in the section about eggs there was a sketch of an egg basket. levi asked what it was and i told him that it is useful in helping collect eggs when you have lots of chickens. this morning, sheriff levi comes in with this...his own egg basket! he's so cute.

two more eggs.

a dozen fresh eggs.

yay! grandpa's here!!!

copying levi.

the boys were so looking forward to go alley romping in the trailer.

abraham brought a wagon with him.

hanging on as we round the corner into the alley.

fun bumpy and fun!

alley romping pro.

seasoned romper.

levi is totally starting to tie super good knots. he taught himself.

little finger, little knot.

the boys fell asleep on me like this. i have to sit in the middle while reading books before bed because they love to fight over their legs touching each other.

now mama can go to sleep:)



gator dumping, shade structure, and the "thank you" dance.

saturday, june 19, 2010.

weepy eyed rock star.

levi and abe hauled 5 or 6 of these pipes up the fort. here's levi launching them.

getting ready to go ally romping.

waiting for pops.

they went to get sand from a sand pile papa spied.

they loaded some sand in the gator. papa guided levi where to go.

levi opening the tail gate.

they had to dump some sand by hand because it was too heavy for levi to use the lift.

dumping.

papa would have him move up little by little to keep it more even.

high five for a job well done!

yep. papa salvaged a huge trampoline from bulk trash and turned it into a shade structure for the garden.

yo, he so cra'z.

abe playing in the new sand.

gettin' dirty.

abe's newest trick. he does this a lot lately.

swimming.

stretchy frog.

levi made up the "thank you" song in the tub. it basically said thank you over and over.

 abe started singing it with him...

and they danced to it too.

levi napping. not pictured, but fellow nappers for about 3 hours were abe and i. we so needed it.

joshua's third job

friday, may 28, 2010. joshua has turned his ALLEY ROMPING into something a little more profitable! he's SCRAPPING METAL. today's load pulled in $75.00!!! he is going to put the money toward a plasma cutter, so he can cut through metal with ease.

levi and abraham were at the block's, but ESPEN and christine came by and hung out for few hours. SEESTER showed me all kinds of cool things my new phone can do. we basically sat on the couch and loaded apps. haha.

joshua and his scrap.

all ready to go.
