Crazy Corn

All that rain we got has made the corn around here grow like crazy! This isn't even the tallest of the corn around here. I've never seen corn this high in Kansas in June! The old adage "knee high by the 4th of July" is blown out of the water this year!

Cousins

The Florida cousins surprised us with a last minute visit! It was fun at Papa & Binga's!
The following is our attempt at getting a picture of all 6 cousins and then all of them with Papa and Binga. Pay close attention to the boys...very funny.

Papa took all 6 kids exploring. He said that's the last time he takes all of them by himself! The boys were a bit of a handful:)

Another Flood!

Trying to catch up a bit on my pictures while I've got a computer I can do it on!
A couple weeks ago we got close to 8 inches of rain in less than 48 hours. So we had another flood! We're very thankful we installed sump pump last year. It worked overtime, that's for sure!

They would fill up the water bucket from the sump pump and "water" the sidewalk! It kept them entertained for a long time!

LOVE their faces in this one!

The morning after the first rain-we got 6+ inches in a few hours' time. Our front sidewalk was completely under water. They didn't seem to mind that it was ice cold. Again, it kept them entertained!!

Double trouble!!!

Jacob & his cousin Toby-they're less than a year apart.

Picture Overload!

I'm finally getting around to putting some pics on here. I hate not editing them!! :) We've been busy already this summer!

The VBS program was last night. The kids did SO GOOD!! I can't believe Jacob stood up there as long as he did. I couldn't see Anna through all the heads. I can't get the videos to download to my video site straight from my camera :( but he was so cute singing the songs and doing the actions!!
After the ridiculous meltdown we had before leaving, I'm surprised she was happy and cooperative! She did great, though. The theme was "Egypt Files".

He's not a baby anymore!! :( Such a big boy. So proud of him!

THE set:) It took forever and a day, but I think we did an amazing job using partitions, sheets, paint & colored duct tape!! :)

Oh my. We've had so much rain in the last two days. Over 6" Saturday evening/Sunday morning and I don't know how much last night. We are SO GLAD we put the sump pump in last year! The electricity went out for about 20 minutes yesterday evening and the water immediately rose to shin level under the house! Thankfully Ben & Seth were here so they helped bail it out while we found our neighbors and hooked up to their generator. The pump has been going off every 8-10 seconds since Saturday night! And the forecast doesn't look any better for the next week or so. Poor farmers--the wheat was a few days from being ready to cut and then all this rain!

Whoops...it's sideways! Anna can now "carry" Jacob! ha!!

My roses are blooming!!!
