11th Annual

11th Annual could also be called "2nd try at Camping in July and it was awful weather again" :)  It was hot and muggy, but then 6 hours of rain on Saturday made us almost go crazy! Thank goodness we were close to my sister's -- we went by to her house to "dry out" for two hours before going back to our very wet campsites!

Despite the weather issues, we had a great time as always.  These girls (and Peter) look forward to camping together and have the best time.  It keeps getting easier and Heather and I both said it would be the best next year -- no one will be 2! :)

this is the best I got of the "littles" :)


Peter loved the Deterding's scooter.  Loved.

Spring has sprung?

This week has brought some strange weather! On Saturday, it was freezing while we watched Peter's baseball game - it was the "late night, under the lights" 8:00 pm game. and my toes were numb when the game was over. Then, Sunday was beautiful weather to watch soccer! April scored TWO goals in her game! We had a silent-auction at a church lunch on Sunday to raise money for the Youth Group Missions Trip. Peter bid on a cooler full of interesting flavored soda-pop....and he won! The first one he tried? Pickle Pop.  For a few years, our neighborhood has been the area of choice for a few mallard ducks to nest. The momma duck picked my neighbors' driveway this year...it seems like Spring must be coming if there are eggs!

Thanksgiving Turkey

My brother-in-law raises turkeys, and we had one on Thanksgiving this year! It was a 31 pound turkey and took up a lot of space in my refrigerator for a few days before the holiday. I started the cooking process early so it was done by lunchtime.  Here is the turkey, barely fitting into my oven!  "the farmer and the chef" :)

Crazy May

 As is typical with three active kids, we've had a busy last few weeks! Photos coming soon of the dance recital, Peter's birthday party, school activities and more :)  Here is our May started: No power for 5 days! A wind-storm went through our area and several power lines were knocked over. We did have school for 3 days. The weather was perfectly sunny and 70 degrees, so it wasn't too bad :)
