Ketchup

 HI!! It's been a long time since we've posted anything, so this is a long post! ;) 

 These family pics were taken on Mothers Day

 (These are in really random order, by the way)

Deer out back

Snow...

 At Maple Syrup Days in Somewhere Ohio. ;) 

Dad and Daniel quickly found the trapper guy (in the skunk hat) 

Ben and Lydia are making rope.

They had a huge pancake lunch for everyone

Boiling syrup

 So, this is the suburban AFTER the deer.

:)

 And this summer has had many water fights, water slides, and water swimming. 

 And this may confuse you.... they are warming up. the black top 

gets nice and warm/hot, perfect for getting dry. 

 And then they go back to the water. 

 We've had Ben's birthday

 And Matt and Joe's birthdays.

 More water fights..

Ben taunting "can't get me" 

"Oh yes we can!" 

And they did. 

 We got to go to Megan and Elijah's for Megan's birthday, which I'll have pictures of in another post. It was a ton of fun!! Megan got  two kitty cats, and all us kids did not put them down pretty much the whole time we were there. :)   Elijah and Megan's blog is  http://www.thelimegreenlife.com/  (go there!!) 

I personally have been sewing, reading, taking lots of pictures, a little driving, (I got my permit!!) and piano practice! Daniel, me and Matt started lessons, and we actually have to practice  again! ;) But its a lot of fun!

Happy Independence Day!! 

Romans 6:23

For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
