Kite weather! (and random pictures)

Jaron flying his new kite.

Faith flying her new kite.

Faith's new kite (I couldn't get her and the kite in the picture together no matter where I stood.  She had it up too high).

Juice box break.

New garden area. I'm going to try square-foot gardening in the the raised beds.  Onions are already coming up.  Plowed up area is for corn.  We can't wait for the ground to warm up, so we can plant!

Our back yard today (Dave took down two sides of the corral...with the help of the wind).

Our back yard 6 months ago.

Not-so-Easy Bake Oven

3 tiny pans,

3 tiny spoons,

3 tiny cake mixes,

3 adorable ice-cream cupcakes,

2 smiling children,

1 tired mom!

Every little boys dream...

I don't know if it is every little boy's dream to have a tractor driving back and forth in front of his house all day long, but I know it's Jaron's dream come true!

He's overjoyed, constantly wanting me to come watch with him. He's pretty easily entertained!

Once upon a time there was a baby tooth and a frog...

Faith finally lost her FIRST tooth! We were beginning to think she was destined to have her little teeth forever. It's amazing how excited kids get when they lose a tooth, she has been squealing all evening! It's also amazing how tiny baby teeth are!



While weeding an area in our back yard that I envision to someday be a beautiful garden (it takes some serious imagination...let me tell you!). Jaron and I found this little frog. Jaron couldn't wait to show Faith when she got home from school. She immediately wanted to take it to school for 'show and tell' tomorrow. After a little discussion about how the frog may be a bit of a distraction during class and how it might get sick if couped up in a jar too long, they both decided it would be better to let it go outside tonight and follow it around with a flashlight. I think it turned out to be a win, win!
