Saturday (6/9) was just plain crazy--it was freezing cold (40-55 degrees) and Richard was super sick with a tummy bug. I picked up and processed our Bountiful Basket as well as a huge load of groceries from a trip I took to Bozeman with the kids. I brought home some Samurai Sam's Yakisoba bowls for dinner and Daddy was able to eat a little of that and he was better by Sunday. At church I did Sharing Time then came home to serve a birthday dinner for my MIL, Grandma Melin who celebrated her 65th birthday on Sunday.

| Grandma getting a birthday hug from James after dinner and before cake--Grandma's request was Strawberry Shortcake, so we had that with Angel Food cake, and then a coconut pound cake with pineapple and banana topping, all with freshly-whipped cream, of course. |

Heidi, James, Grandma Rosalie, Addie, and Grandpa Tom.
We're so glad Grandma was born! |
 |
| Earlier in the week, Addie brought me these flowers from her bike ride. They look so pretty in my kitchen window, I had to take a picture. They've been cheering me up all week long! |
 |
| In addition to my cute bouquet from Addie and my ever-present kitchen goddess, the herbs we planted on April 21st are full-grown and delicious...it's so fun to toss fresh herbs into our food, right off the window sill (there is oregano, sweet basil, and cilantro inside; outside we have rosemary, sage, German thyme and lemon basil, and baby spinach & buttercrisp lettuce...radishes are coming soon!) |
 |
| Today we are preparing for Daddy's requested Father's Day/Birthday Campout in Ennis, MT, and we are babysitting cousins Hannah and Rosalie while Aunt Angie and Cousin Danny are cub scouts' day camp. After some Disney Junior and some iPad games, the kids painted some beautiful watercolors. Now they are terrorizing each other in the sprinklers outside, even though it's like 62 degrees out there....sillies. |

Hannah and James are pals!

So next post will be all about camping and Daddy's two special days...Happy Summer! |
