Kind of a lot going on the last few weeks...I'll try to catch up a little at a time.

Camille, Kellen and Olivia got here on the 19th and I have been in heaven ever since! It's been so fun to have them here...can't believe how fast the time went by!

I went up to mom's on Friday morning, Camille, Kellen and Olivia came up there to visit grandma too. Liv had fun playing games with grandma...I found some good one's downstairs that my kids used to play with her. Kellen and Camille helped me pick raspberries...there was a lot and it was hot! So grateful for their help! We would come in to check on Liv and
Grandma and hear them giggling from clear outside. Olivia stayed with me up there overnight and Camille and Kellen went home. It was pretty sweet when it was time to go to bed, Olivia said she wanted to sleep in Grandma's room so Grandma wouldn't have to be alone. We put her little princess sleeping bag out on the floor by mom's bed and she was just happy as she could be. Slept all night right there by her. In the morning, mom seemed really good and strong and didn't have any trouble getting in the shower or getting around. I got her pills all refilled, got her some groceries, cleaned a little around the house and watered everything. Made mom some lunch, then we got on our way. Olivia didn't want to leave grandma...wish we could have spent more time with her.

When we got home, everyone was ready to go fishing. Candice and Meg and Ryder came with us. It was fun to have them along. It was a beautiful warm day and there was a lot of people on the lake. We had a great day fishing (no catching...HA!)

When we got home, Kelley made a fire in the fire pit and we roasted hot dogs and giant marshmallows....seriously bigger than your face when they got all toasted and puffy! Pretty funny to watch each other try to eat them! Lizzy was having a great time eating everything that dropped on the ground...then I was trying to throw her a piece of marshmallow and it didn't quite hit her mouth...she had to run around with it stuck on her back for a few days...I tried to get it out but that stuff is sticky!
The fireworks started early and Olivia didn't like them one bit. She is really sensitive to the noise and was afraid even in the house cause they were so loud. We played a fun game of scrabble out on the picnic table, then called it a day.

Happy Pioneer Day!
