Mowing the yard

Alex gave a try at mowing the yard for the first time today.






Emily was unimpressed with his efforts. She slept through it all.

Emily vs. cereal

Brenda continues the battle to teach Emily how to eat.


Emily gets a little startled when the camera flashes twice for red-eye.


The pen may be mightier than the sword, but what about a rubber safety spoon?


Grinning for daddy.


Emily really pays attention to her older brother.


Time to get back to work.

Renaissance Festival

On Saturday, October 18th, Daddy and the boys went to the Great Plains Renaissance Festival. It was our first time to attend. We saw a lot of neat things and had some good food too.


Two boys ready for a fun day at the fair.


Alex started the day by trying to climb a pivoting rope ladder.


Zach played a game where he tried to sink boats in a small swimming pool using this hand-held catapult.


Sir Alex of Wichita


We watched a puppet show of "The Princess and the Pea".


Singing pirates... insert your own witty/sarcastic/naughty comment here.


This was a group called Heavy Metal. They wore real armor and would bash the flop out of each other with everything from swords, to maces, to baseball bats.

Family time

Tonight we spent the evening at Opa and Oma's house. Great-grandma Jantz was in town from Kansas City. It was the first time that Emily was able to meet great-grandma.


Emily showing off the dress she wore at her dedication at church.


Three generations of Jantz ladies.


Why do these two look like they've been caught in the act?


This was taken yesterday, after Mommy had trimmed Emily's bangs for the first time.

Emily and the bear


Just chillin' out while waitin' for a bath.

MREs

A friend of ours from church gave the boys a couple of real Army MREs. (Meal Ready to Eat)


Alex did not care for the Linguini Alfredo that was the entree in his meal.


The possibility of Alex being a CO (conscientious objector) looks pretty good right about now.


You would think that Zach had never received peanut butter before.


Zach putting PB on the BAC. (In military lingo that's Peanut Butter on the Big Ass Cracker.)
