July Update

I've neglected my blog for the last couple months, busy with kids and everything else! I thought I  would still add a few pictures even though they seem like they were taken so long ago. 


This is Allison learning to sit up well at 6 months.  


This hot and sweaty motocross rider looks like he needs a break! Most of the month of July was over 100 degrees, not ideal for riding.


In addition to the July heat we didn't have any rain, making the dirt a fine dusty mess, perfect for 2-year olds to play in. 


Covered from head to toe in dust!


We braved the heat and made it to the county fair one evening in search of idea's for next year when Ethan will be in 4-H. I suggested a nice chicken like pictured above, Ethan is leaning towards hogs or maybe a lamb. 


I found the directions to this PVC sprinkler on Pinterest. They kids and I dug through the barn and found a bunch of  old PVC saved from our hog sheds and put this together. Ethan especially enjoy cutting the PVC with the hand saw, he really likes building things in general.


My motivation to freeze sweetcorn wasn't very high this year, maybe that's something to do with five little kids to run after. :) We did end up doing a smaller batch and Allison had fun helping too. 


We celebrated Amelia's 7th birthday in the Ozarks, which I previously posted about. 


Mark torn his ACL riding motocross this spring and ended up having surgery July 3rd. This would be his first time in the hospital. I have to say it felt a little strange not to be the patient and to leave the hospital without a new baby. :) Mark wouldn't allow me to take any pictures of him in the hospital, so here's one of him and Allison doing physical therapy at home.
