Crafts and things

Michael finally got his new GLASSES. They had to be blue and he liked that I said they looked like Harry Potter. Now that he has them though . . .

This is how he really feels.

PUPPETS

We made puppets out of paper bags, which entertained them for a few days. Jake especially. His only ever said, "Hello Jake." (See Video Below, Sorry it is sideways)

PLAYDOUGH

Jake is so intense when playing with playdough. I had to put this in because his face is so funny when he concentrates

ROUGH PLAY

These last ones are of the boys riding on Todd.

They were not easily detered when they were bucked off.

Summer Fun

The Alaska Nielsen's came to town so we were able to do some fun family activities. First we went to the Lake. Michael is quite the water monkey, and of course Jake has to do everything Michael does. Grandpa and Uncle Chad pulled the kids around behind their boats.

Dad and the boys

On Monday we all went to Lagoon. Jake was just big enough to do the kid rides byhimself or with Michael. But on some rides they have to share. Poor Michael, this is pretty typical.

Michael loved the water play area. Jake wasn't so sure, but got into it at the end.
