I Say Potato, You Say Patato!

We managed to grow quite the potato crop this year in our garden. We planted a row of white potatoes and a row of red potatoes. Now we have more potatoes than we know what to do with. We had some heavy rains a few weeks ago which forced us to dig up the potatoes for fear that they would rot if we kept them in the ground too much longer. The boys couldn't wait to take on that task. Anything that required getting dirty and muddy, they are first in line to volunteer. Kade kept at it longer than Brady did, but they both eventually got bored and left Dane and me to finish up. The hard work we put into the garden is all worth it in the end because there is nothing like good, home grown veggies for dinner each night.

Splishing and Splashing!

Kade and Brady invited Jenna and Leah to come over and try out Brady's new slip-n-slide that he got for his birthday. What a great way to kick off the hot summer that lies ahead of us.

Maifest!

I know I am a little behind on my posts, but better late than never I guess. The maifest is an annual tradition in this town, and it has been for many years. I always enjoyed watching the parades as a kid, and I wanted my boys to be apart of it as well. We headed downtown to watch the junior maifest parade that Friday. We met up with Aunt Stacy, Jenna, Leah and Luke. It was quite warm outside that day, but we still had fun watching the parade.
