We "Heart" Nicole

Nicole and her sister are great babysitters for a lot of reasons--they play games, they clean up, the girls love them-- but the best reason might be that Nicole makes great chocolate chip cookies (with Addie's help, of course!) Thanks for all your help, Nicole and Moriah! You are fabulous babysitters! Look at Addie and Heidi gobbling up those cookies...

Heidi: "You ate yours ALREADY!?" 

Cookie Monster! 

DRUNK ON CHOCOLATE! 

Solstice

This is a photo taken Halloween 1971, also known as the day I was blessed. That's my Grandma Lyn, my Great Grandma Marie, me, and my Mom, Lyndi. "Gramaree" would have been 93 today (I think--she has been gone 9 years now). Her birthday makes the Summer Solstice special.

Water Girls

Our family took a summer job caring for the yard of one of our insurance customers. Sometimes we mow and groom on Monday nights for our Family Home Evening activity. It was so hot yesterday, we thought the girls would enjoy running through the sprinklers. Boy, did they! They were adorable.

Daddy (taking a break from mowing) tries to get Heidi to play in the water. 

Addie...my waterbaby! 

Heidi...not sure she likes the sprinkler. 

Addie figured out that she could aim the sprinkler and terrorize Heidi! 

Heidi was so proud that she could carry the ball around!
