Red Gold Picnic

The picnic this year was much more enjoyable than last year. Last year I was 9 months pregnant and it was in the 90's! This year it was fun to let Delaney run around the park while Frances enjoyed the activities. It was a beautiful day, perfect in the shade and tolerable in the sun. Frances loved the big caterpillar! Last year she was a little frightened and had to go with another "bigger" girl. She went over and over this year and was even pretty good when standing in line. The big slide was neat too but she only went once. Guess it wasn't worth the wait as there are lots of kids at the picnic every year! Silly Safari's were there with many live animals, snow cones, the park, and our Red Gold gift. Delaney enjoyed the license plates but daddy isn't so sure he is going to put them on a vehicle.

Fun in the sun!

Frances and Brayden had a good time playing in the backyard again! The water from the hose was really really cold though!

Delaney loves walking around the backyard on the deck. She is really big into climbing up on her little chair and standing! I am just waiting for the time she actually tips over before I get to her. She is quite the climber! Can't believe she is going to be one next week!

gotta love the imagination

Today Brayden is over playing with us. All of the sudden I see Frances coming down the hall like she is driving a car. Brayden is following her on all four like a puppy. She tells me she is taking the dog to the hospital to have a puppy. I hop in the car and "ride" with. Then when we get there I all of the sudden become the doctor. I call the puppy to me and tell him to roll over (thinking I will pretend to pull a puppy from his belly). Much to my surprise...when he rolls over I see a huge lump in his shirt. Through much giggling I pull a puppy out of his shirt. This is hillarious! At least it is to a mom who doesn't get much adult interaction:) I then ask what they are going to name the puppy and I am told his name is Sagile and that he is Fragile. Here is a picture of the happy family...Frances, Bumby and Sagile.

We have been having a great time enjoying our backyard so far this season. Here are a few pics. Pretty rare that I am in them so enjoy:) Thanks to Brayden for taking them:)

Happy Birthday Gramma JoJo!

I hope my mom has a great day! I wish I could be near to give her a birthday hug! Love you! Here is a message from Frances (Delaney was napping, maybe we can catch her on video later!).

busy bees...

We are all doing well. We are keeping very busy! Here is a little of what is keeping me from updating my blog more often:)

Taking care of my two gardens. We are growing potatoes, tomatoes, cantelope, many different types of peppers, sugar snap peas, lettuce, green beans, onions, carrots and zuccini.

Trying to keep the house clean:)

Getting the boat ready for the season...It finally touched water last night!

Mulching the yard and getting the flower beds looking pretty.

And of course...the girls:)
