Finishing up June

Back at home after our trip to Chicago, the kids were happy to be just kids!  They loved being out in the yard, even in 100 degree weather!  I tried to keep us in as much as possible, but with these two....it just isn't going to happen!
Wyatt loves the slide-even the small ones! 
Anyone up for a ride????
More kids!!!!!!  After Charlie Horse had to be sold since she couldn't have babies, Wyatt and Gwen became the proud owners of twins!!!!!!  Say hello to Bob!
And Molly! 
Wyatt is in love....with tractors!!!!! 
"Just going about my day and checking on my goats"
Ready!  Set!  Go!
Check out these moves!

Kenneth's Baptism and a visit to Chicago!

To start off June, we headed to Chicago for a visit with the Caseys and McKenzies!  We also were able to be there for Kenneth's baptism and were so happy to celebrate with everyone.
Splash time at Mimi and Bubba's!
Wyatt was all about playing around with his favorite things...anything with wheels!
Hi Molly!
Gwen took the camera to entertain herself during the baptism
Bless you Kenneth
So much fun playing in a hammock!
Time to chill!
Gwen couldn't resist ticking Lilly too!
Looks like someone just got caught...being too cute!
Another nap for Mr. Kenneth, but he will be up in a minute to check everyone out
Gwen's drawing of her and Lilly:-)



Slash pad or slip and slide?

Wyatt kept trying to get things out of the cooler...however he kept trying for the beer.  But, when we tried to get this trick on camera....all we got was ice.  Still funny!

What were the Tempels up to in May....finally!!!!!!

So, I must be the worst blogger ever if it takes me until September to update everyone on May, June, July, and August!!!!!  Well, I plan to make to up all of you with at least a blog a week until I am caught up!!!!!  :-)  
While in West Lafayette for Joey's graduation from Purdue, Wyatt was so excited he just couldn't sleep!
Check out what landed on our door step!  Gwen and I were so excited to see such a beautiful and HUGE (it was at least 4 inches wide) butterfly....she was a little disappointed to find out later from Daddy that is was a Luna Moth not a butterfly.
Gwen was so hot she was trying anything to make some shade
Gwen started her summer with a butterfly experiment.  She received 3 caterpillars in the mail and was able to watch them grow, build cocoons, and them emerge as beautiful butterflies!
We officially took possession of our land in mid May.  This is the before of where the house will be.
Our lovely trailer and heart pond.  This again is what was....wait for more to see what the site looks like today
Look at that pitiful face!!!!!  Poor Wyatt got Poison Ivy head to toe after spending just a little time at the land
Such a trooper!  Since Wyatt is the youngest case of Poison Ivy at his pediatrician's office, he couldn't get a steroid shot like most people get when they get a rash this bad.  So, he had to have a salt water bath 3x a day and be covered in Cortisone cream to ease the itch.  After a full week, Mr. Wyatt was almost completely cleared up and still as happy as could be!
At the end of May it was time to release the butterflies!!!!!
Watching them leave their nest and saying some words of advice
Mr. Motorboat--
Wyatt wasn't saying many words, but he was a master at making a motor sound
Happy Memorial Day!
