Stinking Seagulls!!!!

Today we went to the river and fed the ducks and geese. Jeff's brother was here this week and we had a ton of bread that they got to feed the birds but we never made it to the river while they were here. Anyway the kids and I went today and it was quite an event. Lincoln got attacked by 2 geese(okay they just bit his little fingers and hurt his feelings). Carson kept saying that the ducks were all telling eachother super funny jokes because it sounded like they were laughing so hard. And I was innocently standing by a huge pine tree in the shade when a stinking seagull dive bombed me with his poo. That is right he dropped a load right on my back, I felt a thump and then some warmth and I turned to the kids and asked if there was poo on me, and as they were totally grossing out they admitted to the mess. They would not help me clean it off because they thought it was too yucky. Thank you very much, I have been pooped on by a bird!!

Summer Fun

This is what we do for the month of June. We play lots of T-Ball. It is pretty fun to watch, the skills of the kids are definitely still developing, but the comedy is never ending!! Carson is obviously ready to kill the ball, and he actually is quite a good hitter!!
I never thought I was the mother who would wish to destroy her kids with embarrassing pictures, but we are always after Carson to get his finger out of his nose, so when I got ready to snap this shot and this is what I saw I could not resist! Sorry Carson.

Maycee played softball this year instead of T-Ball. The girls pitch to each other and so it made hitting the ball quite a challenge. I think she got a piece of this one though!!

Due to the lack of hits in the game, she was always found in the outfield squatting of sitting on her tail. Her coach always was yelling to her,"Maycee, get up. This one is coming right to you" She never stood up!


I went to take the garbage out yesterday and I found this Caterpillar scooting across the ground. I told the kids to go get a branch from the tree for it to crawl on and they found caterpillar number 2. We put them in our little bug habitat and now they are hanging upside down making a cocoon or something, I will definitely update everyone to let ya know if we get a butterfly out of these puppies or not.

HOLY COW!!! Who knew we had a splash park in Rexburg?? SWEET. For all of you who are as sheltered as me, you must head over there as soon as possible. The kids had so much fun and it is free. This picture is a little blurry, but here is Maycee shooting down the water slide...


When Lincoln finally got brave enough to run through the water he thought it was awesome. He wanted to go sit on all the water shooting up. That can't feel too good in the bum crack?

And here is Carson, livin it up of course. He has a way of making anything he does adventurous. He is lots of fun to watch, ya never know what he is gonna do!
