Boys vs. Girls

Lunch conversation with 3 boys:
C: "I pulled the 4-wheeler up to the front all by myself last night."
MZ: "I drove Daddy's truck the other day."
Max: "I drive the tractor for hours with my dad!"
C: "Yeh, I've driven a tractor a lot!"
MZ: "I want a 4-wheeler for my birthday that I can drive all the time by myself!"
Max: "oh me too!"

So basically a "one-up contest"!


Same day but two little girls.

Hannah:"I need to go potty."
S: " I need to go potty too!"
(in the restroom)
Hannah: "I like yous panties!"
S:" Thanks yous! I like yous panties too!"

Totally different with boys and girls!

We are TEA'd off!

Happy Birthday America!!

To celebrate the 4th of July, we went to City Hall and took part of a TEA party. I have marked my kids as right-winged, red-neck extremist...and should probably feel bad for doing such a terrible thing but well I don't at all! Here are some pictures of our protest....BEWARE, they are very violent and may not be appropriate for young eyes.........

Update

Yes, I know it has been a month and a half since I have updated the blog! What can I say....I'm a slacker. No, actually, we have been so extremely busy that I have not even really thought about it but today for some reason I did! Since school has been out several things have taken place. Mom and Dad's pool is finished and we are constantly in it! Second, FCS, the boys school has closed and we have decided to home school the boys! Third, the garden is in full bloom now and we are about to add more to it!
So the pool is finished! YAY! Thank you Nanni and Big Daddy for putting in a pool! We love it so much! The boys are fish right now! At the beginning of the summer Nanni suggested we get MZ some sort of life jacket until he sharpened his swimming skills, but there was no need for that. He is currently the master at the back dive and will probably be doing a back flip by the end of the summer! S was a little hesitant to get in right at first but in the past two weeks we have worked with her and she is now jumping off the sides and swimming to the steps with her floaties on and not screaming about it! Big Daddy challenged C to swim 5 laps non-stop before the end of the summer, the other day he swam 30 laps, taking a few breaks in between. The next day he said his shoulders hurt! Ha, he was just sore from all that exercise! They will all three have great tans and bleached hair by the end of the summer, well we all kinda do now! Ha! I have discovered that if I let the kids swim for a bit in the morning and then again for a bit late afternoon, they will sleep like bears all night!
Second, sadly FCS is closing. We love this school and are very heartbroken to see it close, but God knows what's best for us. With the closing of the school, Daddy and I sat down and discussed our options for next school year. We figured that with his work/travel schedule it would be a great opportunity for us to home school the boys. That way we can go with him and always be together as a family, which is top priority to us! And today all of our books came in! We are very excited about this new adventure God has in store for us!
Third, the garden.....well the garden is blooming....some. We planted in the middle of a monsoon and prayed that each seed we planted would grow....most have, thankfully. We will soon have corn, tomatoes, peas and beans, cantaloupe, watermelon, peppers, and squash!!! We can't wait to have our first home-grown meal!!!
We are enjoying our summer! Hopefully I'll be better about updating the blog of our adventures and travels! :)
