Fun at the Splash Pad

Here is Micah under a bucket spilling out water:


Here is Hannah.....do you think she is cold?

Jeremiah wanted his picture taken here:

Then we went to Pinicon Ridge Park and climbed the tower:

And watched the geese:

Fun at the Playstation

Last weekend was Kirby Fun Day at the Playstation. Our bank puts this on every summer for the kids. They get donuts and can play games. Here is Hannah with Kirby:

Micah won a Reese's in the candy machine and gave it to his sister who loves Reese's:

Here are the kids peeking out at us:

I went up and crawled around with them for a little bit

Here is my husband being a party pooper:

But I did manage to talk him into getting into the ball pit for a few minutes:

Happy 11th Birthday Jeremiah!

I have NO idea how he went from this:


To this:

The boy is almost as tall as me! He is growing up so much lately, not just physically but also in many other ways. Randy and I still remember bringing him home from the hospital. Looking at him in the back seat and thinking "What are we doing?" But it has been a wonderful journey. He is one of the three greatest blessings God has given to us! We love you Jeremiah, have a great birthday!

Homemade Cherry Pie

Grandma Manternach ( my mom) called the other day to tell us that her cherry trees had cherries ready to pick. So Sunday after church, we went over to pick some. The boys had fun climbing up into the cherry trees to fill their pails with cherries.



My mom so graciously let me borrow her cherry pitter which is pictured below:

And I FINALLY got to use my pastry cutter that I got at a Pampered Chef party a few months ago:

And I think it did a fine job

And here is the final result fresh out of the oven:

It was very delicious! We had it warm with leftover homemade ice cream that we made this weekend! Yummy!

Hannah's new hair stylist......

(he was having so much fun playing with her hair, and I just couldn't resist the chance to snap a couple shots!)

Patriotic Snack

Here is a little patriotic snack with the 4th of July right around the corner. Just put a little vanilla yogurt in a bowl, top with a couple sliced strawberries and a handful of blueberries, and enjoy!!
