Yellowjackets

Tuesday was very eventful for me and the boys. As Briggs napped, the three of us played in the front yard. The boys began climbing our magnolia tree which is something they do all the time. Poor Knox stepped on a yellow jacket nest under the tree. He immediately began screaming and I yelled for Eli to get down and run. Somehow Eli climbed down from the tree and escaped with no stings. Knox and I were stung 14 times. We had to run to get away and they continued to sting us both. It was awful. Thankfully Sara and Mac were arriving for lunch and she quickly diffused the situation. She's such a blessing to me! J and Dad got the job of burning out the nest. Thankfully they were successful!

Adventure on the Farm

This afternoon we ventured out to the farm in Summerfield. Uncle Jack offered the Kubota and we headed to the creek. These little boys would be great country boys. I can't imagine how they'd be if we lived in the country. We found turkey feathers, treasure rocks, and fresh veggies. Happy birthday, Uncle Jack! We loved crashing your party!

Smith Mountain Lake

Today we were blessed to meet dear friends at their family's lake house. We left Briggs behind and soaked in every minute with Eli & Knox. They were so excited to ride a fast boat! Eli surprised us and jumped right in to ride the red board! Our little boys love water!

Baking soda + Vinegar

We had a great time this week! I found a little activity for the boys that would help them practice those fine motor skills by pinching an eye dropper. The best part was the fizzing baking soda and mix of colors. Blakely joined our fun! They all loved it!

Briggs-8 months

Just a few pictures of this sweet boy at 8 months. He is a super fast, crawling machine! He is cruising furniture throughout the house. He shaved years off his mommy's life when he rolled down our wooden steps. He enjoys snacking on crayons...

We love this baby boy! He just might keep us on our toes!
