Pictures

The last couple weeks have been so packed with activities (including two trips to the U.P) that I didn't even attempt to keep my blog updated. Here are a few highlights:

My dad's 65th birthday party. My sister had the incredible idea of renting one of those huge inflatable bouncy houses. It kept the kids occupied all day long!


My little nephew that I got to meet for the first time:


My parents with 11 of their 15 grandchildren:


My parents with 5 of their 7 children:

Summer Reading

The boys are already in the sixth week of the library summer reading program! Where is the summer going?? They both read enough to receive their certificates a couple weeks ago (they give them after the fifth book report). Isaac has read books about dogs or birds. Elijah is a bit more eclectic.

Guess What Was On Sale This Week...

Cheerios were 2 bucks a box this week so I bought 4 boxes. At checkout, I got a coupon for 1.50 off three boxes of General Mills cereal, and a coupon for a free box of Cheerios! So, I went back today to get my free box, and three more boxes of Cheerios (1.50 each with the coupon). I was quite surprised at checkout to get not one, but two, more coupons for free boxes of Cheerios!

More Cherry Festival...

We started this morning off with the pet show where Mary Jane competed in her Harry "Paw"ter costume:






Later on, Isaac competed in a nail pounding competition:



and Isaac and Elijah made cherry pies:

Bowling

Cherry Festival time already! Today we took advantage of the $1 bowling, pizza and pop!





Isaac got the lone strike today.
