Memorial Day Field Trip

The Brownriggs invited us to join them to spend the day at Tiff's grandparents' farm.  I am not sure where they live...it was quite a drive but I think we were near Caldwell.

As soon as we arrived we rode 4-wheelers.

Then we walked through the creek looking for a snapping turtle that Grandpa Joe had spotted earlier.

Brax

Ty loved riding the "motorcycle."  He didn't want to get off!

Ty found a big crawdad.

Then Tiff caught a little fish and Ty held it.

After dinner we went fishing.  Maddie and Ty had never gone fishing before!  It was so much fun.  However, I didn't take my camera!
When we returned from fishing, we had a big volleyball game!

The day ended with homemade ice cream!  Ty ate 3 bowls!!
It was a wonderful day hanging with the Clark family!

Jacob's Graduation

high school graduate!!
A conversation between Maddie and me Saturday night.
Maddie:  What's graduation?
Me:  It means you are finished with high school
Maddie:  So is Jacob going to kindergarten now?
Me:  No, he has graduated from kindergarten too.  Now he is going to college.
Maddie:  Wow!  WoooHooo Jacob! (insert cheer moves!)

Refreshing

Saturday was a REFRESHING day!  We had no plans so we spent the entire day (from 9 am to 7:30 pm) outside playing in the water!

It was our first day of summer break and it was REFRESHING to have no plans!
snack time

Ty looks like he's up to something!

Ty had to make a quick trip to the grocery.

Mimi got us a new pool!

Wooohooo!

Maddie was drowning!

Ty, the life guard, came to save her!

taking her pulse to make sure she was ok

the pool needed a step

yep, worked just fine

water toys...watering cans

I had to take this picture because it made me laugh.  Maddie picked her clothes out for church Saturday night.  She put them on the couch so Chris could iron them.  That is exactly what I do every night!

Rock Stars

Uncle Bob and Aunt Carol were in town for Jacob's graduation.  Ty and Maddie get super excited when they come to visit.  It's like they are rock stars!
Aunt Kim, Uncle Bob, and Mimi

Ty drafted Aunt Carol to pitch to him.  He could play for hours!
Don't come visit us unless you want to pitch to him!

great pic!

Maddie and Emma always play dress up when together.
Maddie prepared dinner for everyone in her kitchen.  She passed it out to everyone.  Maddie gave Aunt Carol a piece of lettuce but Aunt Carol told Maddie she didn't want that she wanted something else.
Maddie said, "You get what you get and don't throw a fit!"
