We have had a busy week.
We
started
off with
the Pine Wood Derby contest.
I grew up with mostly sisters so all this scout stuff has been an interesting learning experience for me. I think I am finally starting to enjoy it. It is a good thing because Levi thinks it is the greatest thing in the world.
He ended up winning first place for the Wolves. He was SOOO excited. Now we
have to (I mean get to) spend a whole Saturday in Richfield for the bigger competition. Hooray!
THIS IS KIND OF A FUNNY PHOTO OF WHIT BUT WE ARE ALL SO PROUD OF HIM. HE IS NOT CRAWLING YET BUT THIS IS A VIEW OF HIS NEW TRICK. CASEY THINKS HE IS PRACTICING GYMNASTICS.
This week we also had 11 new arrivals. Zoey had 6 healthy puppies and Annie had 5 healthy puppies. The kids have been in heaven.
This is my personal favorite part of this post. It is time to start our garden. I am going to try and take a weekly photo. This is the first. On Saturday we planted peas, radishes, lettuce, broccoli, and beets. I am sure it is going to take a while before it starts looking like much. You can see the kids in the background racing and ramping their trucks. I don't know what it is with ramping things around here but it happens a lot. I think we may need to be careful when they get their drivers licenses.
This is a video of what the other section of our garden looks like. It has turned into a race track. The kids have spent hours out there already. They are going to be disappointed when the time comes to plant the rest of the garden.
As you can see the bruises and cuts have begun at our house for the summer months.
