Friday evening, three of my friends, Jess, Kara and Amanda, brought their kids over to play. We had such a fun evening catching up. Later that night, we watched another friend, Mackenzie, and then my sister, Courtney came over! Here are some pictures of the kids--mainly Cora, Mason and Braden--they're all within a couple weeks of each other!
Mason and Braden playing together
Cora, Mason and Braden--all 7 months old!Saturday, Joel pulled out 4 bushes from the front of our house--they were so ugly--it actually looks better with nothing there! We're hoping to redo our porch this fall...here's what it looks like now.
Finally, here is a video of Ollie doing a puzzle. He has really become more interested in these in the last couple weeks, and can actually do several by himself!
Yesterday afternoon, college friends came over and we hung out and watched our 4 boys play together. It was so fun to see everyone and catch up again!
Last night, the Cubs played their final game of the season. Unfortunately, they lost in the playoffs after having an incredible season. Joel could have had 5 minutes in front of the church if they won the World Series!!! Anyway--I'm thankful that, although Joel was bummed, he's over it. He doesn't dwell on that stuff or let it ruin his day. Our Cubs rock will sit in our yard for another year...(okay, seriously, this picture is NOT sideways in my file. Sometimes they turn and I have NO idea why!!!)
Tonight, Ollie and I went out to check on our garden again. We do this daily. Our raspberries are blooming--it's so fun! He says, "Two?" when we walk out there, hoping for a raspberry in each hand. I always give him two. Who can resist?
We're also growing peppers and jalapenos, and we have some spinach and lettuce coming again.
Ollie loves to help in the yard/garden. (For those of you green thumbs, you may notice that my asters are NOT doing well. Every year, I try mums or asters again, and every year--they die! What am I doing wrong????) Here he is watering our flowers:
