Earlier this week I took Nathan & Emma to a MOPS play date.  It was a pool party.  Emma is still a bit intimidated by the water but Nathan is a FISH!

 

The other day Brian took Nathan to run through the fountain at our alma mater.  Few of you know Brian's claim to fame here-- Back in February 1990, Brian, his good friend Greg, and a few other guys were the first to run through this fountain when it was initially turned on.  (Too bad we don't have pictures of that!)

So, afterwards it wasn't a problem for Nathan to be soaking wet... he went to swimming lessons, which are on the same campus. 

This was a busy week for us... besides the fair, there were other activities like a MOPS play date at the park...

Our usual outing to $1 scoop night at Baskin Robbins...
Story time at the library (and the kids ALREADY met their goals in the summer reading club!   Nathan's was to read 40 books himself and Emma's was for us to read 30 books to her)  Good job guys!
And with such beautiful cool weather we couldn't pass up a combo bicycle ride (Emma & Mama) and walk (Daddy & Samuel) to play at the school in our neighborhood...
Oh, and one more thing... Emma learned (on her own) how to do a somersault!

It was fun but we are looking forward to a less busy week this week!

Nathan submitted three projects for Mini 4-H again this year.  At our house he made:

At his other house he made:

This is fair week for us... a week we all look forward to!  On Monday all rides were $1 so that was the night we went

Nathan and Emma both LOVE crafts...  It is not unusual to hear one of them say, "Mama, can we do a craft today?"  They keep me busy trying to come up with new ideas.
This week we did two crafts... we painted rocks:

Nathan is a typical boy.  He loves being outside and climbing trees...

We spent most of this week in Wisconsin. 
We had a great time and got to visit with many relatives.  Here are a few highlights:

We finally got to meet baby Owen!

We got to visit the library where Grandma B. works and we even checked out some books:

All the grand kids got to hang out and play together!

And we can't forget the drums!

During Samuel's 7th week we had family pictures taken. 
It was fun and a bit more challenging than when there were just 4 of us!
