Hello all! Here I go getting all caught up!
So, you know how Kate wanted to climb the walls, literally? Well, she succeeded. She is nuts, I tell you.

| The wall-climbers |
 |
| There she goes again! |
 |
| Where there's a will, there's a way! |
I can hardly make dinner (or do much of anything for that matter) without being interrupted a million times by that little lady. I've got to stop and take her off counters, keep her from falling onto the hearth, etc. She's a busy body. But, she sure is cute!
So, to update:
We have been canning more- tomatoes, maple syrup. It's the year for canning around here, I guess. Of course, me trying to multitask, I boiled the maple syrup over. Boy am I glad I have a flat top stove!!! I even roped Kenneth into helping me with the tomatoes one night. Last weekend, I even hosted a canning activity for our ward. I didn't teach- we got a real pro to do that. But, I did have fun hosting and sharing the excitement of canning. It feels so good to be building our food storage.
Grant had a follow up appointment with the optometrist and he still doesn't have to patch. His eyes are doing great. Hooray!
The kids had a dentist appointment this week. When the hygienist asked Grant what flavor he wanted to have her use to clean his teeth and gave raspberry as an option, he said, "Does it have the seeds in it? I don't like the seeds." Funny guy!
Here are the pictures:

| With us trying to be healthier, I have been looking for things to enjoy at a campfire other than s'mores. These baked bananas were amazing! We did some in foil packets over the fire and they were good too. |
 |
| The fire pit in our backyard. We have only used it 3 or 4 times. |
 |
| Enjoying the bananas and ice cream |
 |
| Yum! |
 |
| We had family home evening out there in the backyard. Of course, the chickens had to join us. |
 |
| Emma loves to swing with her babies! |
 |
| Grant loves his chicken! |
 |
| Grant and Puffy. |
 |
| Kate loves ladybugs! |
 |
| Pile of cutie pies! |
 |
| My twins- separated by 5 years! |
 |
| Kenneth helping can tomatoes |
 |
| This is the sort of thing you can find this lady doing while we are trying to do school. She's a climber! |
 |
| One week, Arianna found this little corner to do her school work in. |
 |
| Grant doing his math work. |
 |
| Arianna licking up the maple syrup that boiled over- no worries, it cooled first. |
 |
| Kate turns bath time into waterslide time. She never wants her bath to end! You should see her in action- she's wild! |
 |
| Hummus? Yes, please! |
 |
| Yum! |
These next few are from our short trip to Colorado to get my passport. Here are Holland and Kate doing what 1 year olds do:
 |
| These two are first cousins-once-removed and 3 weeks apart. |
 |
| It was tough to get them both sitting still and looking at the camera. Here they are with Holland's mom, my neice. |
 |
| Grant with Brent, my brother-in-law. Is he picking his nose?! I hope not! Good thing Brent is a good sport! |
