Farm Boys

My, what a busy couple of weeks we've had!

Jacob finished up swimming lessons last week...BIG NEWS: He can swim! Mom watched him swim right across the pool. She thought it was pretty amazing. No pictures of this, of course.

This weekend was full of parties. Grandma Susan and Grandpa Ken celebrated their 40th anniversary on the 14th, and we had a giant party here at our house. It was really cool. Jake and I were the ONLY kids here, and boy, did we get a lot of attention! I suppose that's what we should have expected from a place filled up with grandmas and grandpas. It was also cool because we ate snacks all night and stayed up until way past bedtime.

Somehow Mom never found time to take any pictures after this one she snapped of me sneaking my first brownie...


Sunday, we met even MORE grandparents when Uncle Darren's mom and dad came over. They are lots and lots of fun!

After all of that partying, we stayed home all day today. We spent lots of time outside and checked out our garden. Here are some pictures mom took of us showing off our stuff!

(If it looks like I am laughing at a wiener joke, it's because I am. That brother of mine sure is funny!)

 That's better.

Eatin' peas, straight from the garden!



He's cute, isn't he?

Some leftover decorations from the party, but we figure we'll just leave them up and then it's a party every day!

We haven't posted a chicken-chasing picture in a while...

 Our teepee is looking good! There are some very crazy beans growing in there and they are almost as big as me.

Mom called Jacob over so that there would be some scale and you could see just how huge these beans are growing on our teepee...but I think his outfit is a little distracting, don't you?

That is all. Hopefully we'll have more downtime this week and can get some more silly pictures up here!

Love,
R
