Tammy's Thoughts: Summertime with my kids...

Summer is a time to relax, sleep in, snuggle on the couch with a blanket in an air conditioned room...and etc! However, in my house we have been so busy!!
A few weeks ago, we had VBS at our church...here are a few pics of that....

Ieshia got to put a pie in Damon's face because he lost the penny contest!

All the kids had tons of fun!! Derek, Emily, and I stopped at Steak 'n Shake for lunch a few weeks ago..

I think they are natural posers! I also love taking pics of my kids when they are not expecting it!

Even though they are getting older, they still enjoy playing outside and other kids stuff!!
Another thing I love about summer, is the fresh veggies from the garden...and grilling out!!

BBQ Chicken

grilled squash

salad

sweet corn

6 little ducks

goodies from our garden

Derek and Emily have also been going to summer farm school. They get a couple of hours of tutoring, chores on the farm, and swimming lessons! Most of the time they really enjoy it....sometimes when we have a lot going on, they stay home and enjoy some rest and relaxation in the pool!

Poor Lyndie had a terrible reaction to the chlorine in the pool.....

On one of our extremely hot days, (over 100*) I took Derek, Emily, Lyndie, Blaize and Sharayah to Discovery Depot in Galesburg. It's a nice hands on children s museum...and it's air conditioned!!
