Gotta Love Summer!

I cannot believe how time flies! We have been home from Alaska for 3 weeks! That is hard to imagine. We have been up to much. The boys are busy with legos, swimming, Wii, riding bikes, playing in the woods, playing with friends, and finishing the baseball season. Isaac has been planning his birthday party since we got home and has been changing his mind daily as to what he wants. We finally decided on a theme and invited his friends. We bought some flowers and tomato and pepper plants and have planted them in pots all around the house. Cade helped with this venture. That was fun and now everything is starting to look like summer. We have tadpoles on the back porch as well as a pair of wrens building a nest in a box on the back porch. It will be fun watching baby birds learn to fly. Let's just pray that the cat doesn't eat them! Russ has been spending his spare time working on our camper. Hopefully we will be going camping in the near future! We also celebrated Russ' birthday this month. We won't talk about how young he is! Today was a first for the boys. They rode down the road on their bikes to a friends house alone! It is the start of many new beginnings. Gotta love summer. Today it got up to 90 degrees. The cat spends her days lazing in the doorway or window trying to catch a breeze. We are looking forward to the lazy days of summer. Adventure is out there!
