Hear Ye'

 Hear Ye, Hear Ye' gma is really doing another blog!! No fainting people!! :)


Lukas is into a LOT of different things lately. Planes, trains, lizards, frogs, and bugs are all favs right now. He is especially fond of scorpions for some reason!! He is very attached to his things, and is very careful with them all. So, I was VERY proud of him when he let Haven help him pick up his lizards and frogs!!


Could this young miss be any CUTER!! I think NOT!!!
You can't see it in this pic but she had to have a blood test earlier in the day, and still she smiles!! xoxox this girl! 


 Showing off her 2 teeth!


Haven loves to look at the pics in this book. Lukas was pointing out various things to her. As you can see he was putting tons of effort into it!! hehe
You can also see that poor Havens arm was starting to get a bruise!


Someday Haven will hate me for this someday........but I love the little folds in these little legs!!


She gets very excited when she is outside. She will stand near the door while you are getting ready bouncing up and down and giggling. She was happy to be sitting in the sun!!!


We got a visit with great grandma Stark last week and she brought Lukas a treat. He looked in the bag, asked her if they were from her garden. When she said yes, he grabbed one and got ready to take a bite, then asked her if she had washed them!! The answer again was yes, and he was full of cukes in no time!!


A couple days later and the kiddos were back to spend the day. Overnight we had heard a large branch or tree fall down. He wanted to go and check it out right away! It was pouring out and his rain jacket was at his house. He did have his boot though!


So out to the garage he went with gpa to make a garbage bag coat!!


TaDa all set to explore!!


Haven was doing some of her own exploring in the garage!!


With that gpa and Lukas were off to see what they could see. Almost looks like snow doesn't it!!!


They looked and looked and got plenty wet and still couldn't figure out what had fallen!! Hmmmm........

Keeping it up!!

I am trying to keep my word and not fall behind on the blog so here is a quick update!
Lukas took this picture out the dining room window. He was quite excited because he and gpa had put a deer block out last fall and finally they were using it!!!
Me on the other hand........Last thing the plants need after all the hot dry weather is deer eating them!!


Along with the weird bugs that have been showing up this summer, another strange thing!! Dave was walking by the "kids" room and saw something moving in the window. At first he thought it was one of those YUCKY HUGE spiders we found in the garage.....and if that was the case.....we are moving!!!! :)


Thankfully, it was just a tree frog!!! Any ideas on how this got in here!?!?!


One more step in the garage project is complete....it is now electrified!!!


Dave filling in the trench and putting one more problem to rest!!


Kiddo day and Lukas wanted to see if the ATV was still in the shed...haha
It was and he was really happy about that and wanted to go for a ride!!


They had a really fun ride in the woods!


Once the ride was done it was time to clean up....and yup Dave parked it on the lawn??!!  Note: how awful the lawn looks, dry, hot, and fertilizer burned!!!


Lukas was a great helper!!


Next on the list.....Dave got the wiring done and started putting up the insulation and wall board in his garage.....You know it has to be comfy in all weather conditions, for sleeping!!! :) :)


When I walked out to see how things were going....... someone worked really hard! :) :)
Sorry honey!


Can't leave our Miss Haven out of this!! She has been a little under the weather and aunt Yaya was ready and willing to spend some cuddle time!!!


So that was this and a little of last week!! Proud of myself for following up on this!
