JUNE

The kids with their teachers the last day of school.

All were wonderful!


~
We moved into our house the last day of school, not quite finished, (that may be a bit of an understatement!) hopefully they start school with it almost finished. We are loving it though, even unfinished. We completely gutted the house and added a little on and I forgot to take before pictures. Bummer! Hopefully I remember to take some soon!

~
Right after we moved in the pea field across the road was harvested, the boys loved watching the pea combines.

~
We are not pet people but we are DEFINITELY not mouse people! Since we were having a little mouse problem we decided to get these cute little kittens.

We ALL got a little more attached than we thought and were pretty sad when they all disappeared about 2 months after we got them. The boys and I are pretty sure they probably found their way back to their mother or maybe found a better home where their owners let them inside the house, because I did not. ( I'm sure it was NOT the coyotes we hear outside every night! Coyotes don't eat kittens, right?!?!)

Gage started mowing the lawn.

And my boys are such good buddies. This is how they watch tv and play the wii and sleep all summer.

I LOVE SUMMER!
