Play Time

The months of July and August have been busy here at the Weiss household. We haven't taken many photos, but the one we have are pretty funny. Jaysek and Jensyn love to take the sheets and blankets out of the drawer below Jensyn's crib. They love to play with the sheets. Jensyn puts them on her head and tries to walk around.Jaysek likes to wear them like a cape.Jaime decided to try putting the toys in the drawers instead of the sheets. This is what happens now. They pull the drawers out and climb on in!!We had fresh sweet corn one night for supper and we gave Jensyn her own ear to see what she would do. She loved it!
Jaime went to get something in the kitchen one morning and walked back into the bedroom to find this. Jaysek had a Desitin beard!!! He had climbed up on the dresser and got the lid off the Desitin and managed to smear it all over his face. He was pretty proud of himself.

Weekend Canning Fun

This past weekend we decided that we better do some more canning. Grandma Linda kept the babies so mom and dad could get some things done. Saturday we canned 26 pints of peaches and 4 pints of homemade sauerkraut. Sunday we canned 13 quarts of Salsa, 5 quarts of tomato juice, and 7 pints of tomato sauce. Needless to say that we were worn out by the time that Sunday night rolled around. Here are a few pictures from Sunday. The pile of tomatoes we started with.

Jason was using our meat grinder to grind up the tomatoes for the tomato sauce. We had almost all the bowls in the kitchen dirty and a big mess when we were done. The finished project is worth it though.

Here is all the finished product.

Harvest Time

It's harvest time in Southwest Nebraska. Everywhere you look there are combines, tractors, and trucks. We made the trek to east of Hayes Center to visit Grandpa Rick in the wheat field. The kids got to ride in the combine with Grandpa Rick and Daddy. Jaysek LOVED it!!! Jason said he was mesmerized the entire ride. He even got to sit on grandpa's lap and "drive" the combine. Jensyn on the other hand didn't really care one way or the other.

Jaysek was checkin out all the equipment. Doesn't take much to entertain. If we have dirt and rocks, we're good!!!
Daddy took the kids into the field to check the wheat.

2 More Monkeys Jumping On The Bed!!!!

The kids have learned to climb onto almost everything. I walked in Jaysek's bedroom this morning and this is what I found........

My 2 monkey's jumping on the bed!!!!!!

2 monkey's down!!!!! Too funny!!!!

Too sweet!!!!

The frisbee around Jensyn's neck has become her favorite toy in the basket. It is the first thing she grabs and then puts it on like a necklace. It's pretty cute. Jaysek does it also. They will wear them for long time while they play.

Don't you just love Jensyn's new hair do????

Summer Swimming Fun

With the temperature reaching 103* today, we thought it would be a good day to break in our pool. The kids enjoyed playing in the water and splashing around.

On Father's Day, we took the kids to the Palisade pool. They didn't' really enjoy it at first(the water was a little chilly), but they relaxed a bit later on.
