Oliver and Eli--August 2, 2011

Eli has recently figured out how to crawl up on Oliver's bed, which is a loft bed about 5 feet off of the ground! Let's just say I'm not thrilled with his accomplishment.

Anyway, this morning I was in the kitchen and realized it was too quiet, and found both of the boys up on Oliver's bed!

What a couple of goofs!

Oliver's paintings--July 13, 2011

This summer Oliver took several painting classes and these are a few of his paintings! They are all on large canvases, so our walls are filling up quickly!

Water park in Hesston--July 9, 2011

One evening when Pat was working, I took the boys to Hesston. Since it was SO HOT, just like EVERY other day this summer, we went to the water park with Grandma and Grandpa.

We spent July 4th over at the Matt and Michelle's. The big boys are ready for some fireworks!

This face pretty much sums up Eli's opinion of fireworks.

We tried covering Eli's ears with Oliver's "ear protection," but he still wasn't a fan.

Eli eventually gave up and fell asleep, despite the loud bangs and booms!
