Summer Days

We have been enjoying some wonderful sunny days until this last weekend. We are now enjoying scattered thunderstorms and the first bit of rain in quite some time! The storms don't last more than an hour but are sure strong. On the way to gospel meeting last Sunday, a huge dust storm decided to sweep across the freeway. Thankfully, I only had to come to a dead stop once while the rest of the trip the wall of dust was held off about a half mile. Here are a few of the fun we have been having lately.

The only lawnmower we need.
Mr. Smiley
Miss Curly
Cooking dinner
Emma's new changing table for babies
And the cool crib with a storage drawer - handy for cleanup.
Helping to water our new tree.

Roasting in the sandbox.
Lazy after running around outside.

Sleepyhead - bath before bed.
Fun swing for two.

Trent loves to fill up the pool but of course has a hard time keeping the water in the pool.
Emma helps me keep him in line :)


Snuggling up to read stories

Giving baby a ride.
Our recent storm - amazing rain!

Happy Fathers Day!

Yippee!! A Backyard!!

After all of Bill's hard work we have a beautiful, comfortable backyard! It started as dirt with gravel all mixed in. Now we have dirt in planters, gravel covering the rest of it, and some beautiul green - artificial grass! We love it already, no maintenance and year round green. With a sandbox and playhouse the kids are perfectly happy!

Gotta Laugh

Thankfully, in between all the tempertantrums and me screaming 'No, no, no, no, no, no, etc' we get some wonderful entertainment!

Grandma's Sewing

Grandma D (my mom) made these adorable dresses for Emma for convention. She also made the 2 plaid shirts for Trenton to match! She is amazing!

Retirement Party

Happy retirement, Leroy! We all had so much fun. Wagon rides, jumping castles, lots of food, balloons, icecream...

This is Leroy when he met the twins for the first time, they were less than a day old!

Pretty Emma

Cutie pie Trenton - not too sure...

Fun now that Daddy's here!





Wagon rides! We went around the property and they had tons of horses. Emma was so excited although she couldn't quite remember they were horses and not puppies. :)



The balloon lady - absolutely amazing! Emma watched her quite patiently until it was her turn. She got Princess Belle and Trenton got Thomas the train.
