Fun with the Arnolds!

Jack, Josh, Abby, Jacob and I went up to Brook, IN to visit Kim and Craig. We were treated to an incredible day. The best part...hot air ballooning over their house and surrounding corn and bean fields. I can see how it would be totally addicting!

This is our pilot. He is holding up the bottom end of the balloon while a large fan is blowing air into the cavity. My stomach was churning with nerves at this point. ;-)

This was the second balloon up. Beautiful!

Josh and Jack are looking a little nervous I think.

This is my favorite shot....

"We are up in the air and haven't gotten sick, MOM!!"

Tyler's 6th Birthday!!

Tyler wanted to go bowling on his birthday, so we trucked cake, ice cream, and gifts over there and had a wonderful time! No idea who had the best score, but Mom did win in Team 2...just saying. ;-)

He's rolling!

Okay.......even with the bumpers up, you can still roll a big fat 0.

Eric learned to use the bumpers for his own advantage.

The cake had Spiderman AND Batman... courtesy of the bakery shop.

Bath time and building time

Jacob has found his favorite bath toy. Yes, it's gross...very gross, but technically, I am helping build his immune system. Between what he picks up from my pristinely clean floors and that sponge, he is in good shape. ;-)

Josh has built a new chicken coop. It is smaller scale than the one Drew built, but he has done it all himself. I am very proud of him!

Eric and Abby are helping. ;-)

Abby is measuring.
