In Review...

Real quick.

Stuff we did this past month but I didn't have time to blog about:

Zach had to pass off something for scouts so we set up a tent in the backyard and had a camp out. (So thankful for a backyard!!!)

Dave chickened out and left me to fend for myself in the backyard with these wild things:

We decided to drive and get lost one day.

This sign tried to warn us that we were on the road to nowhere:

We didn't listen and kept driving.

When we decided to turn around we noticed the other side of the warning was a sign mocking us. Got to love Nevada.

There was a golf fundraiser for Ethan.

I love that kid.

I don't know anything about golf. But driving a golf cart-that is fun stuff!

Dave & Zach had a paintball event.

It was at our friend's field so it is usually a family event for us. I go help Claudia serve lunch,

and Oliver and Ben help Claudia's son get into dirt and discarded paintballs.

This was a big event. There were so many players

I was amazed at all the toys people brought. This bus came out full of players from Oregon.

I love my paintball studs.

Dave took the boys and a neighbor to shoot paintballs.

Coleman has been actually wanting to get hit with a paintball. He cannot turn 10 soon enough.

He was so proud to show me that he got hit in the face.

Oliver has decided to fall asleep anywhere and everywhere but his own bed lately.

Grandpa Dave and Grandma Holly had us over for a BBQ.

Oliver thinks his cousin James is pretty cool.

Dave and I went to help our friend Nicole build her house!

I admit, I am a little scared of the nail gun, but it is a fun experience to actually be building something.

Mesquite had the annual 'Night out'.

Ben loved wearing the fireman uniform

Cutest man in uniform ever.

Then all the kids got trampled as they threw $1 bills off the tall ladder.

Just hanging out at school one Friday I watched Ben in PE class climbing rope.

Speaking of school- Zachary's class has an auction once a month where kids can bring things to school and auction them off for "Bulldog bucks". My little turkey brought this prize home:

And loves it.

He is special, that is for sure. But I love him.
