So far behind

Time must be flying because I am over a week behind in blogging...wow. So, the events pictured below are from 2 weeks ago. Ben's mom came for a visit! It was wonderful to have her here for several days. The REAL reason for her visit was to surprise her father on this 80th birthday! Sue's sister, Janet and her husband Scot also came to surprise Lee!

Levi "sharing" Grandma's corn on the cob. He LOVES corn ON the cob, no need to cut it off for him.




The birthday boy! This isn't the best picture of Lee, but it's the only one I got during his surprise party. Uncle Scot is in this photo, too.


Lee and Mary Alice have an array of bicycles at their house. Lee has installed straps with buckles on this one so the boys can ride in relative safety and they LOVE it!


With Grandma giving power, cousin Ethan and Levi pretend to be on a train. I just love this photo, it makes me smile.


From the party we headed over to Newton for a church picnic and swim night. Check out the spread for the potluck - it was amazing!




After supper, we headed to the pool to do some swimming. Noah and Levi are completely unaware of the dangers of swimming pools, regardless of what we tell them. So, swimming is very stressful for me while they naively have a great time. The temps were only in the upper 80s that day so Noah was shivering by the time he got out of the pool.
