Back for Dad

I took a blogging break until my Dad asked why he couldn't get on the blog. Since he is not on facebook, I will blog again...

First of all, Eaden goes to the same gym as the U.S. and now World Champion gymnast Simone Biles. She came home from winning worlds on Monday and everyone was very excited! That's Simone's sister photobombing in the back.

 Here is Eaden's Level 3 team with Simone.

Some goofing off.

Taven got his first haircut!

We had a fun time playing with dry ice.

Befriended a stray dog and gave him a makeover.

 Felt the need to make family rules.

Our stray cat friend had babies on the side of the house.

And the best thing that's happened? A cool front! With highs in the low 80's we have been outside a lot!

 Nutria.

 Mirek does not like his brother in the wagon!

 Crafty chickens.

I've been trying to give Taven activities to do to keep his mind off the eczema.

 My pictures are out of order and I don't feel like fixing them. Here is Mirek on a nature walk.

 Eaden tried to make a party hat but decided it was a unicorn horn instead.

 Pipevine Swallowtail.

 He just wants to get in the water!

 Taven could fish like this all day.

 Gulf Fritillary.

 I hid all of the markers. But only after he did this about 20 times.

 Trying to drink the water.

 A deadly childhood weapon.

 Eaden had her first meet. Unfortunately, they didn't get to wear their new fancy leotards. They were all sent back for alterations.

 She did not score high but it doesn't phase her. What could be better than gymnastics with friends!?

 Ribs and bacon.

 Puzzles.

 A treehouse with a rainbow to slide on!

 A pirate boat.

 Dug out this old birthday gift from a friend. They have to do crafts on the kitchen counter so Mirek will not mess everything up.

Creekin'

 We witnessed the death of a dragonfly.
