Puddle Jumpers

Well, today we have had A LOT of storms!!!  As I am writing, there is a new tornado warning out for us.......YIKES!!!  Anyways, the rain let up a few hours ago and the boys were a little stir crazy as was I. So, we decided to go outside and run off some energy.  They had a ball jumping in puddles! 

Rocky decided to get in on the fun!

Will had a blast!

Field Trip to the Police Station

Today, a friend of mine (who homeschools as well) and I took the kids to our local police precinct!  It was so interesting!  I don't know who was more excited........the adults or kids?  We all learned so much!  Here are some pics from our field trip..........

A Visit to the Dentist

The other day, we had a scheduled dental appointment for all the kids.  This was a new dentist we were seeing and this was Matt's first dental appointment.  So, I was a little nervous about the visit.  Well, the visit went AWESOME!!!  We all loved the dentist as well as Matty!  I was so pleased and we are definitely coming back!!  It also helped that Grandma was there with us!!  Thank you so much Grandma for coming with us!!  Here are some pics of our visit...........
