Maria 8 months!! And lawn care

Marlee and Alex went to India soon after we got back from Madison and were gone for about 10 days. I will tell you more bout their trip in the next post. While they were gone we did our normal things with school and friends.

Look at all those teeth!!!

David forgot his Peach (bunny) at coop and was happily reunited when we went back to get him.

Doing yard work, getting some of the weeds out and planting some grass seeds. We just wanted to see if they would grow and they did so we need to get some more. The big problem is to keep the boys off the grass… The boys did a great job pulling weeds. 

Yes, someone’s dirty sock!

Soccer practice for Maria :-)

Silly brother!!

The doggie bags needed to be rolled back up. Of course we need the drill for that!!!! 

Marlee 15!! 🥹😱🥳🚗 And Madison

School work goes on like normal and we are enjoying gorgeous weather!! Sometimes the boys gets a little too distracted with enjoying the weather and forget their school work! 

The weekend after Idaho we went to Madison, FL, to take care of our property there. It was badly hot during the hurricanes last season and we have not had w chance to go out there earlier. It was mainly fixing the roof on the big shed and burning branches. Despite a lot of work the boys had plenty of time to enjoy all the “big boy toys” :-) Gabriel even found a pet (lizard) that came back to Ormond with us. Sadly, it escaped the cage here and probably live free and happy now :-)

The weather was absolutely gorgeous!!

All the cousins

Last but not least, we had a birthday child!! Marlee turned 15 when we were in Madison. He now has his drivers learners permit! 😱 We all went to the local Mexican restaurant that we really like and they surprised him with a cake in his face and singing :-) It is really hard to believe that he is so old!!!

Minnesota and Idaho

So Alex and I (and Maria) left for Minnesota and Idaho. Alex spoke at two events and we combined that with a getaway. We have gone the two previous years as well and it is a nice tradition now :-) Farmor made it possible by watching the boys at home. 

It was my first time in Minnesota so I got to cross that put on the list!

Because he had two speeches it was busier this year than last but we still got some time in the hot tub and a fancy dinner on two-man-hand (and Maria) :-) We also met a lot of nice people as always!

Since we didn’t have so many kids to take pictures of this will be with Maria only. 😆

We had to get up really really early to leave so Maria got to travel in her PJs.  

In our hotel room in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. View over the lake.

Yep, I’m crawling now, you better watch out!
