Ninja Turtle Toy

After weeks of trying to get Derrick interested in using the potty, we finally had success! Derrick used the potty 5 times today! So he got to go to Walmart and get a Teenage Muntant Ninja Turtle phone, and some big boy underwear.

Easter Eggs

 An egg for each member of the family!!

We tried a new method. Rubber bands!!! First we dyed the eggs then wrapped rubber bands around the egg and dyed them again. Then we used the stickers that came in the egg dying kit. Daddy and Declan even had the eggs talking to each other. 

Post It Notes

This is what happens when little boys find post it notes.

Pinwheels

This week we have been talking about weather. Today we talked about wind and made some pinwheels. Then the kids went outside to play with them.

Pumpkin Festival

The first Saturday in October we drove down to Hartsburg for their annual pumpkin festival. It was so much fun. We really didn't know what to expect this year, but next year we will know to get there early.
We got to eat some great food. Tornado potatoes and roasted corn on the cob.
Then we got to pick out some pumpkins in the pumpkin patch.

Troy, Missouri

Sometimes when Mike has accounts that he has to be gone overnight for, we all get to pack up and stay in the hotel with him. One Thursday morning after we stayed the night with him in Troy we found a state park to play at.


Brandon found and collected these nuts. The light brown ones still have their shells on. The dark brown ones are the seeds inside. I'm not sure what kind they are but we got a bunch of them.





Hyrum found this little caterpillar. He carried it around for the rest of the day.








Declan just looked so cute!!






Overall we had a great time! We loved spending sometime with Mike and getting to enjoy the great outdoors!!
