Ugh!

 Grandma and Grandpa Hanks and my mom have been supplying me with cucumbers, so I've made around 30 jars of pickles. I've tried two different recipies, so I'll have to see which one I end up liking better. The first batch I made I tried a recipe from Pinterest, and the second batch I made a family recipe that my Grandma Hanks used to make.
Now I need to get picking all the pears we have on our trees and so something with those. =P

 Aidan is loving kindergarten, Ella is loving preschool, and Britton wishes he could stay at preschool. :) I let him stay a play for a few minutes every day, but he's still kind of like a bulldozer.

 The strangest stomach bug is going around, and Ella has been fighting with it for a week now. She started throwing up last weekend, but at the time we weren't sure if it was something she ate or if she picked something up since at that time no one else had been sick. Well, Britton ended up getting it (and still has it) and I've not been myself, but this stuff has been hanging on for FOREVER.

 Our neighbors, Brad and Cheryl moved today. They are moving on to bigger and better things for themselves and we wish them well in their new endeavors.

 We had a freak rainstorm last week that dropped a lot rain in a very short amount of time, and the kids loved playing in all the puddles of the aftermath. The unfortunate (or fortunate?) is that all that water exposed a leak in our roof, and we had water running down through the light in our back entryway. Thankfully, Cary is a handy guy and fixed it. :)

 Cary has really been getting a lot of work done in our yard and I'll have to post some updated pictures soon. We're hoping to get the lawn planted soon. We do have a pesky gopher that is making our life difficult and has been hard to get rid of.

 Cary and Kiah are lawn and sprinkler experts now, so here they are fixing a sprinkler in grandpa's yard. ;)

 Britton is helping.

 By running off with the tools.

 The nights are definitely starting to cool down and it feels a little bit more like Fall until it hits 90 degrees during the afternoon...☺
