Noah's pumpkin

Eli's patience

Eli's first fish. Unfortunatly, he lost two other fish trying to pull them out of the water. Final count I think was Noah 7, Eli 3, and Lucas 4. But toward the end they were counting the nibbles as catching a fish.

Lots of Fish!

I really don't like to fish! But the boys did have lots of fun.

The first fish.

Noah was proud that he caught the first fish. But Lucas wasn't that far behind him. And Lucas's fish looked like it could almost eat Noah's.

Fishing!

The boys spent the rest of the time fishing. Noah did a good job tearing his worms into smaller pieces, so he took the longest. Eli finally started breaking apart his worms, but Lucas would not touch his worms. Eli liked taking the fish off the hooks. Noah didn't really like to do it, however his hooks kept ending up in the fish's eyes. Gross I know. And Lucas wouldn't touch the fish. The boys kept kept asking if I wanted a turn fishing. But I was already participating more than I wanted to! Fred where are you when the boys want to do disgusting things like fish?

Pioneers look out!

The boys like watching Kid Nation and enjoyed trying to pump their own water. They all think that going they would be great pioneers. I think they would be a little thirsty.

Bad goats!

Lucas didn't make it into to see the goats. He was very disgusted that the goats were eating his shirt.

Stop laughing Andrew!

Goats!

Noah and Eli liked going into the goat pen. However, they didn't really interact with the goats.

Deana Rose Park

Noah and I were taking pictures of the ground hogs. Can you guess which one Noah took?

Noah was inspired by Papa's Pixs

Look I can do the mokey bars!

Boys will be Boys

The boys were pretending that David was kicking them. They all thought it was FUNNY!

David

Doesn't he look like he is having fun. I am sure he liked having 3 boys competing for his attention. By time his parents came and picked him up, he had sidewalk chalk all over him. It was the finishing touch after the chocolate chip cookies left on his face. Hey, we watched him. With 4 boys there was no chance of them being clean after a afternoon of playing outside. :) I should have gotten a picture of Lucas and David covered in chalk.

Playing At the School Park

We babysat a coworker's son on Saturday. So we rode bikes to the school park. The boys did a GREAT job w/David (my BFF Brooke's son). So Julie and Fred, they are getting ready for being able to watch Trevor.

Peaceful Dogs

The dogs have been stressed by having to adjust to coming to my house on Sunday nights. But for about an hour they were able to stop pacing and relax. But then they were up again looking for MOM.

Lucas being CRAZY!

Noah wanted to take pictures of Lucas in his "natural" state. It didn't take Lucas long to warm up to the idea and start showing off for the camera.

afterschool time

Noah was taking some pictures of Eli finishing his homework. Eli didn't have reading on his homework page, but is getting used to me having him read a book every day. Nana would be proud.

Hanging Out

Trevor was fashionably late (he was getting his beauty sleep). Grandma and Granpa just sat back and enjoyed watching the scavenger hunt.

Scavenger Hunt

The kids did a great job on the scavenger hunt. Jordan led the red team to victory! Patrick (our neighbor) led the orange team. And it was pretty neck and neck for awhile. The biggest problem was that they forgot whose team they were on.

Cake

Presents!

He especially loved that his helicopter came w/money stuck inside! He loved all of his presents. So did his brothers.

Lucas's Birthday

Lucas had a crisis of which party theme. He had wanted a "Beach Party". But at the last minute wanted a pirate party and was disappointed that it couldn't be changed. Uncle Andrew was nice to let him borrow this costume. But it didn't stay on very long. He took it off right after the picture. Oh Well.
