our last day in yarnell:joshua's welding project, yarnell park, and a lizard habitat.

tuesday, august 3, 2010.
today is the last day of our incredible vacation. we are bummed to have to return to life as normal, but feel so fortunate to have been able to escape the heat for as long as we have! we pray God's blessings on all who made this vacation possible!!! i just cleaned all day, trying to erase any evidence that we had been at the cabin. i way underestimated the time it would take, but it looked a lot better when we left than it did before i started cleaning, though i could never do as good a job as my ma;) i managed to sweep up all kind of rocks and dirt the boys tracked in, cleaned all the fingerprints and sticky stuff off the stainless appliances, and washed away all evidence of toddler inaccuracies in the bathroom. sorry i couldn't finish the upstairs though maaa...!
joshua spent most of his time outside finishing the contraption he's welding for my poppy. it's two removable shelves to display huge redwood slabs that my poppy wants to sell.
it's a good practice piece. joshua is constantly improving!
then joshua took the boys to the park for a little while, to get them out of my hair, so i could mop without them crossing the floor every 5 minutes:)
he got such cute pics of the boys! i was impressed.
love it.
...
climbing.
...
ah oh. i now this face. poor joshua. hahaha.
abe's excited. looks like levi's crashing.
digging.
levi blowing spit bubbles.
levi in better spirits.
such muddy shoes!!!
tall grasses.

levi must have taken this of pops.
thirsty.
cool rock house.
shark rock.
levi made a little habitat for a lizard he caught!
the gave him sand and rocks and a stick. he tried to feed him leaves.
our little lizard pet. we had to let him got before we left though. levi was so upset:(

*the boys and i left the cabin at 11:58 pm. joshua didn't leave until 12:30am! luckily we were able to get a hold of stacy so she could turn our air down for us!!! the house was perfect when we got home. thanks stac.

last day at lizzie's and the drive to cissna park.

monday, june 28, 2010. aunt mic came to eureka to take lizzie and elle to lizzie's sonogram appointment. brian had a conference call for work and jack napped. joshua and i were going to try to get the boys to nap with us, but levi wasn't tired. he wanted to watch a movie. he picked out toy story 2. none of us block's had seen it, so we watched it instead. then it was off the cissna park, fishys and all.
joshua snapped a pick of me being DOMESTIC. basically making fun of me because you don't see this very often at home.
aunt mic and all the kids PILED into the tent!
a good look, huh?
excited to be watching TOY STORY 2.
couch potatoes:)
lizzie and brian's gorgeous home.
chit chatting about their future landscape plans.
love the OLD cemeteries.
moody skies...out the window of the car.
HUGE tree.
the fish rode in the back with me and the boys. yes i brought my favorite shoes!
sleeper.
blurry, but levi is just singing his heart out. some made up song.
looking stormish.
a huge fluffy SHEEP cloud. quite fitting while driving through farm country.
tried to get a close up shot.
more gorgeous moodiness.
levi finally CRASHED. he wanted to stay up to see g'ma erm, but i promised i'd wake him when we got there. it's about an hour and a half drive.
this is on the way. aunt mic stopped to show joshua. he loved it of course.
huge FARM EQUIPMENT on the left!!! that thing could straddle a car.
seriously, how cute is this. all 7 BIKES have lights around the wheels that make them look like they are spinning at night. the man who lives there will fix your bike for free.
