"The Bible calls debt a curse and children a blessing; but in our culture, we apply for a curse and reject blessings. Something is wrong with this picture." ~ Doug Phillips

Where did Summer Go????

Here it is September 1st already! Don't get me wrong I LOVE IT! I love fall and the harvest that comes with it. Fall is my absolute favorite time of year, cool nights, warm days, the air is crisp, the harvest, canning, I could go on forever about fall!
I kept meaning to post pictures about our summer, but it never happened....I guess better late than never right? We did go to Wyoming and help Grandma and Grandpa Cronk brand their cattle in May. But I just made those photos into a book and never got them posted, sorry! Also in May....
Clayton graduated Kindergarten!



Wilfred had a few days of working at the yard doing equipment maintenance. The kids love to see what daddy is doing at work, so we took a picnic lunch to him. Kaleb spent some time dreaming of driving Daddy's truck.



The kids eating with Dad.

We also had some scorcher days here this summer.....

We experienced our first lost tooth! Just a week later he lost his 2nd tooth.
Why buy toys when a bag of $4 plumbing parts is far more interesting...he played with this for hours!

Clayton got to spend nearly a whole week working with his Dad. Wilfred was not on the crane, instead he was doing some tree clearing and pipe fence building. I was able to take lunch to Wilfred everyday that week....the kids loved seeing and eating lunch with Dad. Clayton had built this shelter for himself. (Dad helped just a bit.) So he and Dad ate lunch in there.

Kaleb has become a climber.... He was climbing onto this box and then sliding across it, plopping off at the end, just to get up turn around and do it again. I think it looks like he is practicing his iron working skills.
In May Grandpa Gary made a camping/fishing promise to Clayton. So the last week of July we went to Heron Lake for 4 days. The kids had a blast......can you believe this is the only picture I took, and we were leaving?!
We also Celebrated 2 birthdays and started school but I will post those separately.
