Garden

Mom wanted to do a garden this year, so she asked us to help her with it. Well, she did most of the work and we helped a little. Thank you mom. The vegetables have been wonderful. These are some of what we got tonight.

I let William hold them so you could get the size effect.

Little helper

William really likes to help.

He loves his brothers and likes to do what they do.

We were trying to do laundry and William was throwing socks outside.
We didn't know what he was looking at so Evan went to check and found a pair of socks outside.

He is walking!!!

Ready or not William has decided he needs to be walking now. He still thinks it is to slow, so he will crawl too but for the most part he really likes to walk.

Scout camp

Well Richard, Riley and Nolan went to scout camp the first week of July. Richard got home from his 8 month detail on Friday and left for scout camp on Monday!! They had a lot of fun. Nolan did 7 merit badges and Riley did 3 I think. It is harder for Riley to get merit badges because he already has so many. He did receive his Varsity letter and his orienteering pin. They really had a lot of fun. Richard spent the whole time cooking. He is now a master boyscout chef!!! Everybody really enjoyed themselves.

This was done as one of the requirements for canoeing. They had to flood their boat and then paddle back to shore.

Who's that

William found himself when we were visiting Richard house in Carlsbad.
Hed really loves the baby in the mirror.
By the way for those of you whom I haven't told THE DETAIL IS OVER!!!! Richard is now back in Monahans full time. We are ALL happy to have him home 7 days a week instead of 2. But we did have a lot of fun spending 2 weeks with him in Carlsbad. It was a nice little vacation.

Reunion #2

Well we had our next family reunion on the weekend of June 11-14. We really had a lot of fun. We went to LBJ lake and spent a lot of time out on the boat playing. The kids all enjoyed themselves. Poor Caleb decided that he didn't need to wear sunscreen and he blistered really bad. He got the worst of it. Nolan got a little sunburned but that was about all the sunburning. We had a great time each night eating with all the family. We had 2 separate houses for all of our family. All of us, mom, dad, Leanne and her family, me and my family, Kisha and her family and Linsey and Les, stayed in one house and the rest of the family in the other. We had the biggest group at our house with just our family.
