July 2014 - Theresa's Visit

When Theresa comes, our days are always packed full of fun stuff! We went to iJump. The boys love to play in the foam pits probably more than they like to jump. One dad was building foam walls for the kids to jump through. He was really nice and let Connor join in the fun. We got there right when they opened, so no one else was there yet. I had to see if I could still do a flip. It took a few tries, but I finally landed it! I must say, I was proud!

Farm Bureau hosts a big picnic every summer. It was delicious. Everyone brought a potluck item, and Farm Bureau provided meat, ice cream, and drinks. They even had steak. It was great! It was sooo hot in there though, and the line was pretty long. Next time I will have to get there sooner. Poor Cole had a belly ache, so he laid down on the bench and didn't eat much. 

 We generally go to Tautphaus Park at least once to play and eat. Cole especially loves the spinny things. I can barely watch when he gets going fast. I don't know how he does it...

 Theresa and I wanted to go shopping, so we dropped all our kids off at Jessica's house. It's great to have family around!

 Since we are building so close to our rental, I drive by it pretty much every time I'm out and about. I'm sure Theresa was sick of looking at it by the time she left! It's so exciting to watch its progress though!

 We spend a lot of time in the Mother's Room...

 We had a few big bags of giant nuts. Jackson showed everyone how to use a spoon to crack them open. It kept them entertained for a long time.

 We did gymnastics for both boys this month. Jackson and Taylie got to tag along since they were here! Connor liked it, but not enough to put him in all the time yet. He refuses to practice at home.

 I have such a talented hair dresser... I have seriously loved this dye job more than any other I have ever had! Too bad Chris didn't care for it too much. :(

 We also had pictures done at JCPenny while she was here because we had such good coupons. I hate that they only let you choose one... We were able to do screen shots on our phones to get the rest of them though. :) I should have cropped them before adding them to this, but oh well...
