Bike Train

I'd been considering it for a while and today I hooked everything together for the first time. I'd been hesitant to try it, but then saw the same setup used quite successfully by a Roosevelt parent. So this afternoon we set out for the first bike ride in a long while. An hour and a half later we arrived home - about 4 miles in all. Not very far, but a good trial run for the train. Looks like we'll need to get a least one new tire and a possibly a few tubes. That, or bring the pump along. Joe was a champion pedaler which made my job a little easier. My tire has a slow leak, but when I'm pulling an extra hundred pounds (and that's just the boys) it makes a difference to have fully inflated tires!

Summer begins....

End of school picnic in the park

And a little fun before bathtime.
Trucks & dirt, a nice chair & book. What more do we need?

A Very Hargett Christmas

Rainy Day Fun

Creepy Crawlies

We had great fun at KSU Insect Zoo today looking at tarantulas, bees, ants, and beautiful butterfly displays. Who can resist something educational, inexpensive, and inside

Boy Update

I hadn't posted any pics lately. Here are the boys rockin'
out at Grandma's house.

Playing in the park

We played in the park and our friend Katherine took these pics. The beautiful baby that you don't see as often on our blog is her daughter, Ari.

Sleepy Boys

This is what I came home to last night. Happy, snuggly goodness.

Picture Update

I've been informed that I should include more pictures of my beautiful children and less politics. I'll put in more pics, but the politics must stay. But for this one time, I'll just write happy newsy things. Both my boys just had their birthdays. Isaac is one and Joe is four. Joe just started preschool and he loves it. Isaac still isn't saying any words or walking on his own. He has taken his own sweet time with all developmental milestones since birth. Just when we start to worry he catches up. I've stopped worrying. I take him to his appointments and when his doctor or Parents as Teachers educator tells me to worry, then I will.

I am very excited that my brother and his family are moving to town! They bought a house just down the street, so the kids will go to school together and all that good stuff. My only cousins are much older and have always lived far away, so I'm very excited that my boys will have some so close by. I also really like my brother and his wife, so it's all good. Now if we could only get Kirk's brothers to move back. Don't worry guys, I'm not holding my breath.
