Let the challenge begin!

The girls' newest craze is watching the food network. (I know I should be happy about this there are a ton of other things they could be watching that are A LOT worse.) One of their favorite shows is a show where there are teams of two people who are given a theme, a time limit, and only the products provided to them. With these things they have to create cakes, some of them are pretty amazing. They are then judged on how well they did, and a winner is chosen.
Well The kids decided to have a challenge of their own. So we made some play dough and they went at it. They were going to make just "cakes" but in the end we came up with some pretty neat creations. Who would have know that this would keep them busy and happy for the last three days and many more to come!! It even helps us learn our letters!!
 Korbyn couldn't stay away either. Although he wasn't sure
about the taste, but the hand prints were cute.
 Caysen and Brayden had fun making footballs of all colors.
 Alyssa the Super Hero!!I am not sure how the snake ended up as a hat, but it worked either way.
I guess in the end I am glad that they are having fun together being creative, now if I could just find a show that would inspire them to clean their rooms....

Ok if you were wondering, no I didn't drop off the face of the earth. Things have been pretty crazy around here the last month. And I have to admit my picture taking has been as bad as my blogging, so not too many pictures sorry. So here is a quick run down of what we have been up to this last month. Hailey turned 8 on July 29th. We celebrated with some family and friends by having a BBQ at the lake just like she wanted. It was a lot of fun. It is really hard to believe how fast she has grown up. August 3rd thru the 9th we survived our first county fair. For those of you who may not have every had this experience let me explain. Alyssa is in 4-H, and so through out the year she works on projects to present/show at fair. So this year she participated in shooting sports, where she continued to learn and improver her shooting skills (yes, with a gun). Cooking, she ended up taking cookies and banana bread to fair. Horse, she barrel races and rides in a timed event where she has to weav...

First the pep talk. The running seat hold. Always a good start. When all else fails lead by example. Maybe on a bike more your size? With that example in mind and a new bike seat, (way to go dad) we are ready to try it out our self. After a few falls, don't worry nothing serious, and a few run-ins with the tree, (The tree survived), we think we might just have it. SUCCESS!!!!! I did it daddy, I knew I could!! -Caysen
