Sit and Spin

kelley and adam gave jack a sit and spin today! he is dizzy! and loves it. i have noticed that the older i get the less i like to go around and around in circles...i get dizzy/sick quite quickly.....in fact the idea of a roller coaster makes me feel green!

Setting stuff on fire

today...just trying to clean up a bit. the dogs and the wind carry our trash far and wide...so esme on my back and i took a little walk today picking up lost bits of everything and burning it...reminded me of spring and fall....the inbetween seasons where fires are appropriate =) josh just went to bell's food store to get mint chocolate chip icecream..yum.....our favorite!

Working Boys

jack and josh worked on the truck this afternoon ...josh says it will take him an hour and a half to find all the tools =) but that he wouldn't trade the time with jack for anything. i read that it is time to start feeding the birds...the migratories and starting their flights through town...we have 2 feeders...one from faye for our wedding and one from kim's parents...also for our wedding!

Number 1 china

this is the best chinese restaurant in crawford....according to josh....seeing as how it is the only one =) esme loved the spring rolls...

Hats

Moving the bookcase

to make room for meghan's fridge...which is ending up in our house! kinda funny...our fridge is much smaller and fits into miss bell's house....so we decided to give her ours and put the larger one in our house....so i moved the bookcase to make room for it....but it will move again soon to the other wall...
.

Esme was quiet for a moment...

and then i saw why! she had unravelled the floss and was chewing on its minty flavor =)

Miss Bell

Gardening and Riding the Wagon

Thrid stop of our travels

was to marie and bill's house. we sat out on her porch and talked the afternoon away while the kids played...esme climbed into this rocking chair herself! they were both so loved these past couple days by their grandparents....how blessed they are!!!

When all else fails...

popcorn for breakfast.

Sleepy Esme

she crawled up on the couch and sat there in the sun next to grammy grace...she is such a doll. as soon as andy and jack started playing motorcycle though (introduced by jeff...jack can't get it out of his mind!) esme HAD to be a part of it...so scurried over too =)
