We Have Post Holes

Hot, hot, hot.....In this heat Ken got all of the holes done for the posts for our fence. Little by little we are getting closer to me getting my day care license. Right now we are waiting for the backgrounds checks to come back fromm IA. She said that IA is always slow. I went to a three hour car seat class last week and need to get CPR yet. YEAH!!! I might have it by the time school starts.

Evan spent the week-end with Rosemay and Mark at the lake and he loved being the only child. Grandpa Mark stood chest high in the water and fished while Evan plaed with trucks in the sand and that way they were both cool.

I took the kids to a pool Friday and the rest of the week-end we stayed in the house. Owen is getting molar in and is not very happy. They were in their pool for about 15 minutes last night after supper and then wanted in the cool.

We head to IA Friday and Evan is thinking already about the stuff wants in Papa's truck. He is very excited to go with Papa. It will be a very fun trip and good for Mom and Dad to see the kids, and us too.

Have a great week!!

Beautiful Week End

What a beautiful week-end it was. We headed for the lake after Evan was done with horse camp. Saturday it was 84 and sun with no clouds in sight. We fished with the kids and here are the fish totals: Evan-16, Abbie-6, and Drew-8. They had so much fun fishing, they all carry the worms and Evan even baits his own hook. Our friends, Jason & Denise, came over with their girls and we went to a beach for swimming. They found a toad to make a house for and they loved to watch it swim. We grilled ribs for supper, fished some more, and then they had to head home. We had a lot of fun.

Sunday we fished, went for a boat ride, and went to another beach to swim. The water was so clear that the kids were chasing fish in the water. We made dinner and came home. It was so nice to get away and spend the time with our friends.

Evan spent last week at horse camp and loved it! This week he is at Day camp. He likes to get out and make new friends.

We are still working on the potty training. We made the whole week-end with no wet pants. YEAH!!

Have a great week.

We had a busy week-end and swam a lot. Ken is working on getting the fence in. The yard was marked last week and Ken is getting in the posts for the corners. I will be so happy when it is in.

Things are moving ahead for my day care license and I am very excited to get started. I have people asking all the time when I am starting and how many kids I can have.

Evan is at horse camp this week and I can't wait to hear all about it. Have a great week.

Where Does the Time Go?

Busy, busy week at the Bentson house. Evan has has hockey camp this week and baseball. Tuesday we went for Owens Dr. appointment and shots. Then home for naps. Evan had hockey and then a baseball game. His game was great. He had a hit that was clear past the left fielder and would have been a home run but they can only run 2 bases unless they are the last batter. He made some awesome plays and got the outs! It is so fun to see him have a great time and do so well with baseball. His hockey is coming right along too. He loves it and doesn't let them push him around. He is skating very well, much better than his Mom will ever skate.

With the hot weather the kids have been out in our pool almost every day and trying to cool off. We may go to a big pool this week-end and let them swim there.

We have the permit for the fence and are going to start taking out the old one and the electric company is coming today to mark the power lines underground so we know where not to dig. YEAH!!!! I can't wait to get that fence up.

I had the fire marshal here to do his inspection for my day care license and now I just wait for all of the paperwork to come back and I will have my license. I know that I won't have any trouble getting kids so that is a relief.

Have a great week-end and stay cool.

Hello,
I am soooooooooooooooooo bad. I have been checking other blogs, wondering when the updates were going to be on there and I finally look at my own today and notice that it has been forever since I put even a little note on here.

We had a good 4th. We went to a parade that was 2 1/2 hours long and the kids got more candy than they will ever eat. And what happened to all the floats that they used to have when I was a kid? There weren't any! Lots of very loud fire trucks and all kinds of different cars. Then we watched the fireworks from our backyard. They shoot them from MSU which is a couple of blocks away from here.

This week, Evan had a friend over for 2 days and they had a great time. And we are still hard at potty training. Some really good days and some really bad days but we are closer every day.

Mom has 2 treatments in the book and she is so blessed that she has not been very ill from them. She has been tired and nauseated but no vomitting at this point and that is so good.

That's about it from here. Have a great week-end!! And get those blogs updated so we know what's going on with you!
