Finally..... we get our t-shirts done

My brother and his wife gave my girls for Christmas iron-on decals for t-shirts. Finally we get around to doing them.

Hannelora ironing

I think she gets the hang of it.

Cozi is a little too eager...

Analise helps

Ta- da! the finished product!

They love their t-shirts.

Tornado and Hail the size of golf balls

Aren't these huge? The kids would have gone out to collect them if we hadn't of yelled at them to stay inside.

The hail storm also created a tornado. The Metra's roof, McDonald's sign, a glass buisness and a few other places had some major damage. It was almost unbelievable.

Flooding again, I am getting use to our flash floods in our backyard. We had min. flooding in our basement. Thank goodness, it isn't finished.

The boys dump truck is pinned against the fence. The current is pretty strong.

Not again!

How is it possible to fall off his bike, onto his chin in the same spot, in less than a year?

Well Zeb can! He is actually not scared of riding fast still.

This time he banged up the front of his mouth. He is going to lose the front tooth soon.

Head protection....

It should do the job right?

This time at least Nathan was home. We were blessed to have the neighbors across the street help us. He is a dentist and advised us to go to the ER. This time no stitches, just steri strips and a loose tooth. Yuck!

TREASURE!

June 6th, we did our end of the year party. Each of the children did a report on an explorer that they learned about. It was a lot of fun! The kids did a lot of hands on projects through out the year. We did history, art and science together. We had 3 families: The Millers, Abrams and us.

My little Nanny McFee

Oh Cozi, what a kick you are. I have never had seen a child with one tooth in the front. It is the most hilarious thing ever. I tell her she looks just like Nanny McFee. She obliges me with a grin!
