Corn Rows & Garden update

We planted our Corn!
Three rows with sunflowers along the east and west sides
Caleb put a nice fence around with a gate
The kids are putting rocks all the way around to keep the mesh fence down and the rabbits out. (more pictures to follow) 
Our squash...all from seed is taking off! 
Corben pointing to his rows of carrots
I think we are supposed to thin them out, but it is hard to take any...we are going to leave them and see how they turn out. 

Blocks

Cheryl made the kids colorful blocks with the alphabet painted on 

Corben spelled his name and his sister's name 

Had to throw this pouty face in...she thought I took too many pictures of brother and had me come back and take more pictures of her...however, she was pouty and refused to smile. silly girl.

Church & bounce house slide

All dressed for church
Corben wearing the cars bow tie that Meme made him 

Mason wanted to jump for her picture, yes her feet are off the ground
Also notice her yellow bracelet (actually a hair twistie, but today she wanted to wear it to church as a bracelet) 
Not sure what they are doing, but Corben put his hand up and then instantly Mason did too. 
At church it was family fun day....so there were many bounce houses for the kids, lunch and fellowship. 
The kids did great on the giant slide 
Corben was sweet and went behind Mason every time ("ladies first") and they stayed together the entire time!  Such great siblings! 
Towards the end and after watching many kids, they started going down together, holding hands!

SLO 5k Run with family

They told me exactly what to put on their signs

JoAnn ran the entire race with me, a little slower for her normal pace, but I was happy to have her company.
