Horse Cake

How cute is S's horse birthday cake?!

Can you believe that Scot decorated it all by himself? He is getting pretty good huh!

Summer Pictures

The Bridge

We visited our local Botanical Gardens to take S's birthday pictures. This little bridge is always a huge hit with the kids. They love sitting there with their shoes off enjoying the water under their feet.

Happy 8th Birthday

Happy Birthday to my sweet S. You are such a joy....You bring us smiles and laughter every day!  

You are such a tenderhearted little girl who loves the Lord and seeks to please Him and everyone around you. You have a heart bigger than anyone I know...you love and care for everyone! You are sensitive and kind, sweet and loving.

You are growing up way too fast, but I love watching you grow and seeing the beautiful "big" girl you are becoming!

Happy 8th Birthday S. We love you very much!!!!

Hydrangeas

I LOVE Hydrangeas and was so happy to have a nice mature bush in the front corner of the yard

here at the rental house.

We have enjoyed cutting the blooms and placing them around the house. Doesn't the house just feel so much more alive with fresh flowers scattered about?

The color variations are so beautiful!

So what is your favorite flower?

Family Fun

We were invited over to our neighbor's pool yesterday. We enjoyed 7 1/2 hours of family fun in the sun!

Oh, how we love summer!

Helping Daddy

'

When I looked out the kitchen window and saw 2 pairs of legs sticking out from under the truck, I couldn't help but smile. I grabbed my camera and snuck outside to take this picture.

I wanted to have a picture of our boy and his daddy doing what they love the most...spending time together. Whether changing the oil or playing catch, it doesn't matter what they do, it just matters that they do it together...as father and son!

Pool Time

Scot set up the pool for the kids.

The kids have been swimming every possible moment!

Let the summer begin!!!!

Trophy Time

Our end of the season T Ball party was tonight and B got his trophy!

Scot was given a ball signed by all the kids on the team.

He was so excited to get such an unexpected gift!

Good Job,Cubs!

Tonight was B's last T ball game of the season. I am sad to see it end. I loved watching him play and seeing him interact with all the other little boys on the team.

He had a great time playing with the Cubs!

We had a great team and coach!

You did a great job B! We are so proud of you!

1, 2, 3, Go Cubs!
