A Few Photos to Finish up June

The boys are wrapping up their kickball season. It's been good for them. Tyler loves every second. Will... he will not be sad when the season is over.

 

Swimming at the Rivas' pool. It's always nice to have friends with a pool!

This made me laugh.... the boys 3 friends have been coming over. One day I was gone and Lee sent me this photo. He had to leave (Amy was home) and he said "All 5 boys are making lunch. I'm outta here." I love it though. I love the kids having their friends over. The "boy" smell is a real thing though..... Oh my!

She loves this dog! But GROSS!

One of the kids favorite games with Meme is this lego one. She counts out 10, 15, 20 random little legos and they have to build something with it. They love trying to get really creative. Even Amy still loves it.

This is the first year my apple tree has fruit. I planted it before I learned how hard is is to grow apple trees in Tennessee. Our humidity, rain fall, drought possibilities, and all sorts of stuff make it rather difficult for the home gardener that doesn't want to spray it constantly. I looked up some organic methods and by golly, one of the ways was to put plastic sandwich bags over the apples. I kid you not! I even though it was a joke so I looked up several more sites and they all said the same thing. So I decided to try it. And it's working!! The baggies have the ends snipped out for airflow, but they are growing nicely inside their little homes. And are pest free, you can even see a tussock moth that was trying to get to the apple. Nope! Sorry! You can't eat here! I kept some uncovered to see the difference. It's a little early to tell, but so far it's been a fun experiment.

Amy should be getting her braces off soon and Will will go right into them. He was such a sport as we went to two different ortho's getting their opinions on treatments. He'll need a lot of work done in his middle school years, but he should be braces free come high school. The xray of his teeth and head are always fun to see. He still has a lot of baby teeth!

Our friend Marion Johnson was in town and stopped by for a visit. It's always fun to see her. And that's wraps up June! We head to Anna's for the 4th of July and we are all excited about that!
