Another 6yr Old

 Our third and final child has past into the realm of being a kid.  No longer a toddler or infant she is fully independent. 

In the past few weeks, Kansas has learned how to:

Swim

Wipe her butt

Bike with no training wheels

Swing a bat

Dribble a basket ball

Build Lego from the instructions. 

That’s a good list for just trying these things and getting it figured out. 

She is so ready for full day school. She has a knack for math and art. She usually surprises us with her talents so we look forward to the next year and the wonderful surprises that come with experience.

Happy birthday kiddo. 

Summer half over

 If you can believe, some how summer is half done. It’s been a very nice summer. Beautiful summer days. High 20s with a few days in the mid 30s. Little to no wind.  It’s what summer time is all about. 

With summer comes lots of swimming, camping, traveling and family. This past week Kalinda’s Brother Trent came up to Magrath for pioneer days. Magrath is one of the few towns that puts on a good time. 

Softball, parade, games, carnival, dances and fire works.

This year was hot, and the parade and fireworks were hard to beat. The carnival was pretty good as well. Kids and adults were well entertained.  

Glenwood Life

 It was busy in Glenwood this week.  Lots of weeds to pick. Over 7 wheel barrels full. The kids and I were very tired. Thank goodness uncle Perry came to the rescue and rototilled the big parts. This should give the plants a chance to grow.  

We also managed to have some fun. We hit the beach in the hot morning to cool off and catch some sun. 

We got in a beautiful hike at Beauvais lake provincial park and read white fang. 

 No screen time for us. Too busy.
