Policy and Tradition

Just trying to make sure we adhere to our longstanding policy and tradition of posting pictures with our posts.
















This is a picture that I'm especially proud of - Tyler trying to burn a bug using a magnifying glass while we were at the St. Johns Pioneer Day parade. Tyler didn't quite get the hang of it (he's in the shade), but Nathan became quite proficient at it.

Things I've seen this week

1.Great summer produce
2.Nathan digging his heels in so deep that Cameron had to bring him back home from school
3.Jacob rescuing Tyler from a crazy balloon that was let go in our house
4.3 boys in one bedroom
5.Nathans invention of a Julia swatter (poor little girl, good thing she has a crush on him)
6.Cameron

Explored his new desk

When it was time to go Tyler started crying because Nathan couldnt come with us and asked for him all the way home . . . and because he thought the desk next to Nathan was for him until another little boy came in and sat there


We will miss you at school Nathan, string beads well!
