Our little loves

And the stare down between the tiny snake and the huge frog....

This thing was massive... Maybe this is why the restaurant at the end of our street serves frog legs...?

First fruits

....or vegetables. Whatever. Here are our first zucchini of our garden!! And peas..but we've been picking those for a week now. Lovely!

Post 4th hang out at Gmas

The girls had a date morning shopping while the guys put up another shelf in our garage (yay!) and went to Gmas & Gpas for some swimming! Once we made it over there, we went for a pontoon ride and stopped to swim in some shallower water. The wind was nice to keep us cool & keep the bugs away!

Arielle's smoothie from 360 cafe. It was just about as tall as her! But she drank the whole thing!

Love those big eyes!!

On the boat

Randomly doing Jaegers "scary" face :)

It was relaxing for Nathan after all that time working storm.

Garage shelves

New garage shelves built by my dad. Put together by my dad and my husband. Need I say more?? ....well, I will just add that 1) we should have put these in like week 1 of living here and 2) he is making us more this week!!

Nice, huh??

Work....

Then stop & chat....

Work....

Then we are finished!!...for now :)

Strawberries

We picked strawberries yesterday....well, more like we picked UP strawberries at the farm's little stand they have by their fields.  Way faster, way cooler, and way more convenient when you have 5 small children with you. And really for the $24 extra we spent having them already picked, it was so worth it. We got around 10 gallons or so and Tiernan helped Nathan cut the tops off all the berries. He did half the work and really kept up with Nathan! They had contests every time Nathan filled a pail of cleaned strawberries from the sink, they'd guess how many were in the pail and then see who was closest. The loser did 5 push ups. Nathan did the most push ups :) I made 18 cups of jam and we froze the rest. (The kids did get into the unlocked freezer and ate almost a whole gallon size bag of them today...some of which they hid in the end table drawers. Seriously?!? Who's kid are these?!?!...ugh. Needless to say the freezers locked now..)

Liberty Block Party

Sawyer Brown performed. Brought back lots of memories. We shared cheese curds. Kids got balloons. Jaeger was super tired. I wanted to leave a lot sooner than we did. Nathan finally heard the song he was waiting for as we were getting into our vehicle.

Rainbow

Jaeger wasn't impressed.

Good thing she's cute.

I opened this bottle for Ariella to take a bath, she took one...and wanted bubbles. This is what was left. 

I also caught her, not once, but twice, just today, sucking maple syrup out of the squeeze bottle in the fridge.  And for those of you who buy real pure maple syrup know that this is NOT acceptable!
