Another busy, but fun week!!

A week ago Friday, we went to the horse races in Columbus.  We always have a lot of fun there.  We didn't have any luck, but we had a good time.

Tyson was blue too

We had some really HOT days last weekend, so we hooked up the slip-n-slide.  The boys had a blast.

Tyson had no fear

Kellen & Cooper didn't like to slide down so they either walked down or scooted down

The cold water felt really good on such a hot day

That night after church we went with Kevin up north to check pivots.   It was a fun laid back Saturday.

On Sunday we went to the fireman's picnic.  Tyson had fun playing the games.  Here they are playing the wheelbarrow game.  Tyson and another boy were a team.

That same boy said he could give Tyson (all 52 pounds of him) a pig*gy back ride for the next race - the pig*gy back races.  (They are in the gray shirts)  Kevin and another guy were going to give Kellen & Cooper rides but Cooper was scared and was screaming.

I was Tyson's partner for the egg toss

They also had water balloon fights

Then we all got to go on a ride

I thought it was pretty fun

Tyson enjoyed it

Cooper was not so sure.  We rode around town for a little while, then we saw another firetruck and they doused us - we were soaked!

On Monday we got the slip-n-slide out again.  Kellen & Cooper's turn.

One of Tyson's friends, Jack, came to play for the day.   Here they're waiting for Kellen & Cooper to get out of their way.

On Tuesday, Tyson had his kindergarten physical.  We went to my parent's house for dinner, my mom made kumla, which is a Norwegian dish.  It was really good!  Then that afternoon we went into school to get all signed up and pay for lunches, etc. 

On Wednesday, they needed some help at my old job, so I went into work for the day.

On Thursday, my cousins were back at my Grandma's house from Omaha.  So I took the boys over to play with them, and we went to the pool.  Trevor & Tyson

Cooper & Kellen

 
Cooper wasn't into swimming too much that day

Michael, Trevor & Tyson

We pretty much had the kid pool to ourselves

On Thursday night, my sister-in-law Erin, had some girls over to play games.  It was a fun girls night out!

On Friday night we took Tyson and Kellen to see Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore in 3D.  We had the theater (for our movie) to ourselves.  The boys had a blast!

On Saturday Kevin & I went to his cousin's wedding in Omaha.  It was a pretty good time.  My parents kept the boys for us. 

Yesterday we went to our church's annual bazaar.  They have a big meal, games, raffles, etc. It was fun, but we were all so tired that we came home early and went to bed.

Today we actually don't have anything planned for once.  We have one day to regroup before school starts tomorrow.  I think we all are going to have to start going to bed early from now on.  Tyson goes from 8-noon tomorrow, and then all day Wednesday and all day Friday.
