some updates

Well, since the last camping trip, Jason's parents bought a camper!!! I know Jason will be so excited to plan camping trips with them next year.

Maggie now babbles a lot more. It's so cute. She even tries to spin in circles like her brothers and sister when we are crazy dancing to music- one of our stress relievers.

Edie had a trip to the dentist where she screamed louder than ever before. I think the ER trip didn't help her fear of the dentist/doctor. At least we know she won't act like this forever. Hopefully in about a year the visits will be easier.

Sammy is reading better every day. We are so excited. He sits at night with Daddy's Bible and "reads" to himself too.

Joey is such a great cook lately. He made butterscotch pudding that he had to cook. very good.

Both boys have decided that most days they can take over making lunch for everyone. Yesterday we were served popcorn, ramen noodles, mac-n-cheese, cream corn, and turkey. yum. :) They even clean up now too.

The three oldest got to ride in the big tractor as the combine was harvesting our field. The pic is of the field across the road from our house being harvested. We love to watch. The kids love even more to ride!!

The kids take Maggie for rides in the baby doll stroller. She loves to sit back while Edie, Sammy, and Joey take turns pushing her around the house. :)

This pic is of Curious George, one of our favorite cats, eating a little chipmunk thing.

I made the pic small so it wouldn't freak anyone else out. :)
