Well first of all, today we had little Meara baptised. She will be 6 months old next week (and thankfully the dress fit). She was such a cutie, she sat in Ty's arms at the front of the church and the entire time the pastor was speaking to the congregation she was smiling big, kicking her feet and looking around, as if to say 'I know you all came here today to see me so here I am...'. She was so sweet!
We've had an insane amount of storms passing though in the last week and a half or so. We had an incredible thunder and lightening storm one late afternoon last week and after it passed over us the atmosphere was yellow. It was so unusual looking but beautiful just the same. This is a shot Ty got of the grain elevator here in town.
We have another couple weeks of baseball left and as the days past the kids are getting better and better. We have been loving going to all the games and practices. This week our niece was here visiting from Arizona so the kids were over the moon that she got to come watch a game. The first games they had after she was got here was cancelled due to the weather but she and Tad were at Thursdays games. Here are some pictures from last Thursday's games and also the games from week previous.
Cute little baseball butt!

The dirt on the face was there BEFORE the after-game snacks!
Last week we also hosted a water balloon fight! haha Two of the kids' friends came over along with Avery (yes that's right we had 6 kids at the house) and had a water balloon fight and then a dip in the pool, followed by snowcones....sounds like a good day! They all had a great time I think and slept well that night too!
(Grand)Dad came to visit for Meara's baptism and Father's Day. He got here Friday evening so on Saturday we went to Exploration Place with him. That is the coolest place we've been to in a long time! The kids got to look at a whale exhibit as well as about a million other things and just about everything there they could touch and feel or pick up and play with. It was so much fun for all of us!
The kids in a 'Tornado' tube.
This is a table with running water and you had to arrange the baracades so that the ball would travel from one end to the other.
You could pull a ring up over your head and enclose yourself inside a bubble...
And finally, a day of beauty! We took the big girls to get their hair permed at the cosmotology school in Dodge City on Friday. Aren't they cute!
Ok, that's it for now. There's a lot of pictures there so I think I'm caught up......I think. Wishing everyone a very Happy Father's Day and prayers to Magan and her family (my sister-in-law)who lost her brother on Friday. So sorry for your loss.
Hopefully I will be blogging again sooner this time.
