Another Attempt to get up-to-date

We have SO MANY June pictures and experiences I want to share with loved ones, but I don't feel like I've had a spare moment between the garden up-keep, a certain baby and 3-year-old, and most recently, 2nd grade VBS, which was WAY more work than I expected, but worth it!  I'm missing JB and Gloria, but they are having a great time with their grandparents in Colorado.  Camp is over for them, the other campers, and the counselors, but I can't wait to hear about it from them (assuming we ever get them back!).  They also have a family of friends in Colorado, like the Reimers, the Tafoyas, and others who home school and have young kids.  They also got to spend time with counselors who stayed at the house and are long-time friends of the Bremers, the two youngest Sealy boys, their friend, Lolli, and Max's cousin, Rachel.  I don't have any problem with them hanging (sometimes literally) around these teenagers and other camper friends because they are Godly, wonderful people and their friends' parents are raising polite, wonderful, God fearing kiddos.

Now, back to catching up on pictures...Here are some from back in the beginning of June while all of us were still here in Oklahoma (JB and GLoria are still in Colorado as I type this)...

Benaiah loves to match his favorite machines...

After our neighbor, Mr Adams, took some dirt from one part of the land and dumped it where we needed a level spot for our hopeful above-ground pool, apparently a spotted salamander was displaced.  VERY displaced...I looked them up online and they are the South Carolina state amphibian...This one was far from home.  It's fun and interesting to the various frogs, lizards, and salamanders around here.

Evelyn got her first ride on the 4-wheeler.  She was ready to work the controls...
