Friends

Recently, we visited our friends the C. family. Here's Jaden with their son Jadon (11).This was before Abby and Phoebe left for Colorado.

Pictures From The Past

These are some photos of a Christmas sing-along that we went to in December 2008 and our dear friends the W's house.

Stucco

Phoebe posted some photos of our stuccoing experience. I want to add some photos of it that the Wahlquists sent us from May 15. Sorry that this is in reverse order.

I was sitting under the scaffolding (that Nathaniel, Andrew and Benjamin were on). Well, after about 45 minutes of the "guys above" dropping stucco on "those below" (in other words: ME!), I ended up with "gray-stucco hair". So I said (jokingly of course), "Those Wahlquist boys are so stressful-- I got gray hair because of them!" *Grins* Many jokes were pulled because of my "gray hair"--- but I didn't mind--- I'm used to being teased by my own brothers! *Wink*

Anyway, it was very fun to do team work with Phoebe, Elisha, Beth, Benjamin, Deborah and Stephen! :-)

Visit

Recently we had some friends over to drop off Caleb's push mower. We hadn't seen the Wahlquists since November 1st of last year. Of course (as always), it was not even long enough of a visit. Here are a few photos of our visit.


Mrs. Wahlquist chats with us younger women (Beth, Abby, Phoebe and me)

As always, their young men had a blast with Caleb and Jaden!

A visit ~

Thursday afternoon, some of the Wahlquist family came to pick-up Caleb's riding lawn mower to fix it. Mrs., Elizabeth (20), Nathaniel (18), Benjamin (15), Andrew (13), and Micah (11), all came. Of course, we visited while there were here. Jaden had a blast playing with Micah. Ben is the normally quiet one, but Caleb surprised me by saying that Ben had read the whole “ The School Room Responsibility act of 2009”, to the other boys! I had been expecting Caleb to say, “Yeah, Ben was quiet the whole time...” Yes, Caleb did show the older boys the fake bill he made for a Blessed is the Man school project. Abby, Phoebe and I really enjoyed visiting with Beth. It's always fun when they come over! :-) Mom and Mrs. Wahlquist talked the whole time, while the older boys were outside (most of the time). Later (a few hours after the Wahlquists had left) , all of we Kautt kids and one of our neighbors' grandsons (Syler, age nine), played “baseball”. We weren't using a bat or real base balls, instead we were using a tennis rackets and tennis balls, and hitting the balls like you would in real baseball. Part of the game, we played in the RAIN! :-) Boy, did that feel nice! Some of us got soaked, too. But, it was really fun!!! Here are some photos:

The Moms, talking.

Beth and Abby. Phoebe was also in the room, but was too far to the right to be in the photo.

Chatting

The boys, enjoying the visit

I thought I'd post this photo, because Jaden and Andrew are standing almost the same exact way, and their hats are very similar, and NO this was not posed! :-)
