a break

I've been taking a bit of a break from scrapping and spending a lot less time online. Just enjoying housework and cooking and all that stuff (and I never thought I'd say that...lol) I even have been enjoying laundry, which is my arch enemy and always makes me feel hopeless, haha. I found this new stuff that's not really new called Super Washing Soda. Finally, since moving into this house over a year ago our laundry smells clean after I wash it. I think we have hard water, so our clothes never had that awesome clean laundry smell. But now they do and I can't find enough things to wash! I just hope it says this exciting (yah right!).
We are getting cement poured today for our new hot tub. Can't wait to get it in!

our new niece

We had a fun surprise last night! Jeff and Ashley drove 3 hrs and showed up at Bible study at our house! I was so happy to finally get to see Brenna! She is 2 weeks old and so adorable :)

Ethan and Gavin

come running into the livingroom.
Gavin: Ethan pushed me.
Me: What do you say?
Gavin: Sorry
Me: Not you, Ethan what do you say to your brother?
Gavin: Thank you
Me: What? (laughing)
Then they both run off.

our trip to the corn maize

We took a drive out to the corn maize yesterday. We have never been before and it was a lot of fun! We did the maize first. Gavin got tired after about 5 minutes and we had to carry him the rest, which we should have expected, but didn't. The had a 'corn' box (instead of sand), a corn launcher, a huge slide, chickens, rabbits, and lots of other stuff. The kids had a really good time.
