Fun, Fun, Fun
We rotated and changed our tires the other day and the girls had so much fun helping.
We also spent our FHE trying to fly a kite. We were about as successful as the last time we tried. But maybe next time. We had a great time as a family anyway.

Mother's Day
Our Mother's Day turned into a Mother's Weekend. Both Jared and Ray made it so nice. They came home with these for Beate and I. I say it again...Jared is excited for the World Cup. And it is comfortable, which is the most important thing to me.
That night, we made these flowers for Beate. We gave them to her the next morning, Sunday. The girls loved picking out the colors for each flower. Jared and Ray were so cute to help too. It was great to see them working on the flowers.
Ray, Jared and great-grandma Dautel all worked to get me an audio version of my aunt and uncle's book. I can't wait to listen to it all. You all should check it out too.

Ray made a fabulous breakfast of bacon and eggs Sunday morning. I got beautiful gifts at church and a nap that afternoon. I got to talk to my mom and we spent time together as a family. I loved it.
Ahhh...cute!!
Jared came home with these last night. I think he is excited for the World Cup next month.
I love this picture of the girls because it really shows each of theirs personalities.
I thought this was just too cute of Jared painting his daughters' toe nails. Isn't he the cutest daddy? He just loves being a daddy for girls.

Jared is home sick right now, so he had some time to spend with his girls and they thought it was great. He told them he would make cookies with them.
He was smart and put all of the ingredients in their own bowl, so it was less messy when the girls helped. I felt like I was on one of those fun cooking shows.
Each girl had her own responsibility with the cookies. We only had a few minor messes.
They even got to put the cookies on the pans themselves...
...and of course, watch them bake.

This week was a big one for our garden. We got the little plot of land ready.
Jared had to take up grass and roots. He was such a good sport to come home from work several days and work on it for about and hour each time.
The girls loved using their new garden tools to get the pieces of sod to the compost pile.
And here it is all cleared out and ready for planting.
Along the edge you can see the 1 zuccinni and 2 pumpkin plants. The rest are the tomato plants. I am going to do the peas in another week or two. And the beans later in the month.
So far they have survived being planted into really earth. Ray helped me get this lattice set up for the peas and beans. It was quite inovative. He also helped me decide where to plant what. We couldn't have done any of this without him.

Each birthday for my kids reminds me that I am getting older. But I love them anyway. It was Alicia's turn this time, and she loved it.
We decorated the family room and surprised her with it. We did the same thing on Anne's birthday and I suspect it will become a tradition. Alicia even mentioned it a couple days before.
Since we are working on our family garden, Jared got her some personal garden tools. Boy, was she excited!
And because Alicia got gift on Anne's birthday we got her one too. After the gifts we went out and worked on preparing the garden more. They loved using their new tools.
Alicia had been requesting roasted marshmellows for several days, so Bahnka did a bbq for her b-day dinner. He also made his wonderful potato salad.
I did it the easy way this time and just made a no-bake cheesecake. She didn't mind, and no else did either. It was wonderful with the fresh strawberries. It was a really great day and we had so much fun together as a family.
