Harvest Time

These are my beautiful children with our grapevines last fall. It is grape harvesting time again. So I need to be working on picking grapes and making juice and jelly. That is one of my many projects for the week. Actually, the YW in my ward are going to come over on Wednesday and we will be grape stomping! It should be lots of fun!

Our washing machine is dying so I need to attempt to get that fixed and I need to get our green sticker put on the furnace. I think we have one more year officially to get that on.

Ryan just celebrated his sixth birthday. He had an awesome birthday. He started off the day receiving a Tom Sawyer Wishbone book. We then took him to Build-A-Bear Workshop to make his own Wishbone dog. At school he received balloons from his teacher, Mrs. George. I came in and read the kids the first chapter of his book he got that morning and gave the kids popsicles.

That evening he had a party with family and friends and he got decked out in the latest spy gear. He has to practice now for his future job (secret agent.) He also received Legos Star Wars and Vehicle types, a remote controlled tractor and money which he is trying to decide whether he should buy stuff for his "doggies" or star wars legos. I think Nathan is hoping for more Star Wars Legos. He really wanted a Yoda cake--which Nathan refused to eat because he didn't want to eat Yoda. On Ryan's cake Yoda's words were "Happy. your birthday will be."

Aaron took him to the BYU football game the next day. we have a Father's Day tradition where we buy 2 season tickets. Aaron gets to go to every game and the kids take turns having one-on-one time with their Dad. (And I only have to go to one game at the most.)
