Car Wash

John and Jack decided to start a little car washing business the other day. It wasn't very well thought out and I ended up cleaning up most of the mess but they had fun along with their sisters.

Country Music 1/2 Marathon

Burt ran in the 1/2 Marathon portion of the Country Music Marathon and 1/2 Marathon last Saturday. With around 36,000 runners there was no way we could see him but we did find him right after he crossed the finish line.

Strawberry Pickin'

We went to a local strawberry farm to pick strawberries and the kids had so much fun, just like last year. It started raining right before we got there but luckily in stopped after just a few minutes so we were able to pick lots of strawberries.

 Yummy!!

 Oh, how I love these two sweeties!!!
