Summer Fun

Once a week, all summer, I have taken the boys on a field trip. We have had so much fun going places around our historic town! I had forgotten how much fun it was to see all the Lincoln sites through a child's eyes! Funny how we take things for granted...I remember saying things like, "Why would anyone come to Springfield, IL for vacation?" Now I remember why people would...there is so much to see and it is really interesting! I have truly enjoyed our "field trips" and wonder where we will go next time!

Boys and their Toys

My parents and the boys went garage sale-ing last weekend and this is what they came home with...a four wheeler...and they only paid $5 for it!! It didn't work, but with a new battery and a little of Papa's elbow grease, the boys have a new toy that they absolutely love!!!

New Hobby

I have a new hobby...decorating cakes. I have even sold two so far!! It is super time consuming, but I love the feeling when I see the finished product! I can't even believe that I can do it!! So much fun!! I can't wait to try my next idea out!

Our Trip to Florida

Circus and Weiner Roast

At the end of October, the boys, Grammy and Papa, Trisha and Jeremy, and I went to the Ansar Shrine Circus here in town. I had never been to a circus, so I was probably more excited than they were! And it was well worth the wait! It was so much fun. Tigers, acrobats, elephants, jugglers juggling fire, clowns, etc...! WOW! It was so much fun! I would go back in a heart beat!

After the circus, we went to my aunt's house for a weiner roast. This was the first weiner roast for the boys, too. They loved it! Enjoy the silly pictures of us with the cowboy hat (courtesy of my cousin Nathan).

Catch up on blogging...

Both of the boys are sick with the flu (terrible coughs, fever, runny noses, etc...) so I will try to use some of my at-home time to catch up on my blog. Hope you enjoy!
