Time to update...

So once again i'm sure you've all been waiting for updates or even just quit checking for one. I won't be posting any pics this time around (again, i know) but they are all on out house computer which seems to be extreamly slow and i just don't have the patients to wait for the pics to upload so i'm useing kris' laptop and there are no pics on it. (unless you want to see tractors)
Anyway, lots has been going on here! We've been trying to make the best of the somewhat cold and rainy weather we've been having. The kids love it outside so much we just put rain cloths and lots of sweaters on and they make the best of it. We've had a few mishaps with the mud puddles and i do have pics i'll try and post sometime.
As you know, most boys are attracted to tractors and anything that brummms. I was really struggling trying to keep them close to the house and not by the shed. For those of you who don't know, we have a yard that has a 13000 acre farm running off of it so you can imagine how many tractors and pple we have on the yard. Every little farmer boys dream! A mothers worst nightmare!
I've always had a bad attitude towards having a fence on my yard. My attitude was "if i wanted to have a small fenced in back yard i'd live in the city or in a town somewhere! And i am not about to cage my kids in like animals!" That attitude slowly changed once seeding came along. My thoughts changed from not wanting a small back yard to my kids safty and my own sanity. So i'm sure you've all guessed, we fenced in our backyard, all 400ft of fence is put up and keeping my kids safe! I actually kind of like it.
We also added an awsome play stucture for the kids to enjoy back there and I have a whole summer worth of landscaping and decking plans that are still in the works.
We also bought a camper last week and took it out for our first camping trip of the year. The kids all had a great time! Kyra made new friends like she always does and the boys loved being outside all day! They slept great, except for the first morning when they woke up at 6am! My kids sleep till at leat 9am so this was a big shock for me and messed up the rutine a bit but by the next morning they slept till 8 which is a lot closer to normal for them. Kyra really wanted to go to the beach swimming all weekend so we had to try and tell her that it was way to cold! we did play at the beach in th sand though and she went in the water till her ankles and decided it would be to cold to swim in. My parents joined us on saturday for the day. I sent the greatest dads in the world out for a round of golf in the afternoon and my mom helped me with the kids while i mad my famous ribs for supper. Grandpa helped kyra make a fire before they left for home and the boys had fun playing soccer and baseball with him. Grandma took them for a walk and they saw lots of motorcycles and remote racecars along the way. We all had a great time and can't wait for the next camping trip!
The kids have been busy playing outside, kris has been busy on the farm which has started off great! I keep busy with the yard work and the normal house hold duties. I've recently started to really enjoy golfing so i try and make time to get a round in once and a while.
Thats the basics of our so called summer so far, i'll try and get some pics posted on here and will be back to update, well um........sometime?
