sand. lizard. rock climbing. plums. otter pops.

friday, july 30, 2010.

grandpa got some rail road ties and put some around the sandbox. abraham's pointing to them in the background. levi's just being his usual cute self.

cousins in the cubby.

the boys found a lizard in their mixing bowl. it crawled in, but couldn't crawl out.

the little guy's in the bowl.

the boys taking turns touching the lizard. poor little guy was so scared.

grandma came out to see him.

letting him go.

just an idea.

g'pa and his g'babies.

joshua, g'pa, and the boys went on a hike around the property.

i love this one!

this is way too cute!

seriously. they are SO HIGH UP!

awe...cousins.

...

so high they are hard see.

...

the boys are so LUCKY to have this place to toot around.

we got to eat plums from the plum tree. yum.

otter pop time.

hooray.

abraham wanted his pic taken since i just took one of levi and espen:)

lovin' the cabin life!

the day started out ok.

tuesday. june 22, 2010. the day started out ok considering  joshua and i are totally sick and in "all i want to do is veg mode". papa spent most of the day on the couch watching movies, which for him is actually torture, and i caught up on my blogging. the boys spent a lot of time playing together. the day started out ok, but shortly after the last picture, abe fell off the arm of the couch flat on his face. it was pretty stressful after that with 24 hour monitoring. i'm gonna blog about it seperately.

breakfast in the gator. pic by papa.

abe just licks the peanut butter and jelly off and ditches the bread.

abraham came up to me like this.

then said ahhhhhh. grapes!!! from the garden.

the boys playing in the sandbox. picture through the window.

the recycle truck came late today so the boys got to watch. it used to be part of our weekly routine, but then they switched to like 6 am, so we miss it:(

papa drew levi a car carrying semi.

levi drawing while sitting next to me.

cute despite the crusties.

making repairs on the swing set.

sawing.

abe naked as usual.

watermelon!!!

levi made a watermellon rind cake. papa tried to make a candle on top.

chef levi.

seriously? we ate a ton of watermellon at lunch i guess.

otter pop time.

sir isaac lime green.

sweet face.

levi repeatedly "SCARED" me by jumping at me from behind the couch.

i love the blur and the pure joy on levi's face.

not flattering of me, but this is what we were doing:) i'm so scared.

i love how kids tell you what they are going to do before they do it and tell you how you are supposed to react. like when they hide and tell you where they're hiding and hide there over and over.

papa love.

about this time the boys and papa started horsing around a bit. then papa went back to resting and the boys continued. that's when abe fell!!!
