Just some fun photos, just because i like them :)

Hanging

So me and the kids took the trek up to Digmans Ferry to
hang w/ daniela and christine for the day, and im sooo
glad we did! It was the perfect day...an amazing 75 degrees, sun,
and a slight breeze. This was the first time ALL the kids
got to meet each other, and it was soooo amazing. just
the thought that we were MOMS and these were OUR kids, all
running around, smiling together, playing together, laughing together...
it really hit me! Throw some water balloons in, a sprinkler,
and a swing set, and we were set :) After Bella warmed up to Tre,
they really seemed to enjoy each other! And Maddie and Vi, well they
just loved to smile at each other. Thanks Dan for just a sweet time to
just "hang" together. love ya

Great Grammy

This is who Maddie is named after...Rory's grandmother,
Madelyn.

The Little Things

Every summer when i come back "home," (Pa) i seem to
notice the LITTLE things more. The greeness of the trees,
the little creepy crawlers that scale the grass, and
most of all...the birds chirping and the wind blowing threw the trees.
I LOVE living in the desert, but theres something about
coming back "home."

Slip N Slide

So i never had one of these growing up, but i sure wish i did...
We broke out Tre's old spiderman slip n slide from last summer and
o...how funny!
It fascinates me how a simple slide w. practically a small sprinkler, can
create hrs of fun!! Throw a little soap on the slide and thats
a whole other story! The boys jumped on this all morning!
And i must say gogo and i did a couple jumps ourselves! nothing
like pretending your young again :) a couple bumps and bruises here and
there, but we survived!

Friendship

Nothing like old friends, that you've had forever... ones that
youve grown up with, cried with, laughed with, and even
welcomed new additions to the family with!
One thing I always look forward to, when coming back "home," is
seeing my old friends. I still cant believe that its now
"our" time to be married and have families!! We once dreamed
and wished of such a thing, and now its all becoming REAL! As
I get older, I cherish these friendships more!
(...and I also cherish the days we hang at gabels together and
just ENJOY our time together!)
Looking forward to seeing and spending more time w....MY FRIENDS!!

summatime

Wow, we've already been here a week, where has the time gone???
The kids are loving it here!!! From picking fresh peas out
of their shoot, to hunting for worms, to feeding the goat...their
smiles say it all! Tre hasnt stopped "exploring" since he got off
the plane! The biggest decisions we need to make in a day...will
it be the pool or the pond today :) Whether we're hunting for tadpoles
or jumping off the trampoline in the middle of the pond, gogo is...well
always on the GO :) Tre looks forward to this summer trip all year long.
Why wouldnt he, when theres rootbeer floats for breakfast or a lifetime
supply of "otter pops" :)
Thanks gogo for all the fun times and memories made!
....more to come, just not enough time in the day ;)

Hanging Out

Not to much going on over here...just hanging out and
enjoying the sun, i mean our pool :)
and of course a day wouldn't be complete, without our
FAVORITE thing, OTTER pops!
The simplest things make us happy!!...i mean make THEM happy :) hahaha
