I had about a gozillion pictures from the past few months so I will pick some of my favorites...looking over them just fills my heart to the fullest remembering all the fun times we had. It also makes it ache a little, wishing I could have this all the time...
I found these old dolls at grandmas in the junk pile when we were cleaning out the house. They were torn and dirty but full of memories of our kids playing with them when they were little so I brought them home, washed and sewed and repaired and they look like new. The kids had fun playing with them while they were here...I think they will last another generation!
Camille was just picking flowers and arranging them...oh memories of the flower shop days...
We had Benny over several times to play with Olivia. They get along so well. Spent one whole afternoon playing on the trampoline with the sprinkler under it to keep them cool.
Kelley and his brothers went through all the stuff from their folks house that they had taken up to Marks wearhouse. Kelley brought home several trunks full of clothes. Maxine is definitely the winner for owner of the most clothes. I think we counted about 15 pair of white pants in one trunk. And this wasn't even what she was wearing or out of her closets...there were probably at least another 15 pair there. We found some really cool old dresses from the 60's though that we were all wishing we could fit into. She was super tiny back then!
Camille found this nice dicky. yup
I had couples bunko here last month and I sure appreciated my girls help. Katie wrote up these cute invitations.
Then she cut up all the vegies and meat for the kabobs and helped me get the tables and chairs cleaned and set up. Camille and Candice were great too in helping me get everything ready. I had everyone bring something this time so it was a lot less pressure and stress. I loved that Camille and Candice played with us too cause we needed some subs. It was a perfect warm pleasant night ( I was grateful for that...last year we had a lightning, thunder and rain storm and had to huddle under the patio) and it seemed like everyone had a good time. I sure do love these good friends and the love just grows as the years go by.
Oh this was really a fun night... Camille's friend Megan told her about this thing where they show a movie on a huge screen out in the park. We thought that would be fun so we found out it was going to be at Mill Hollow park this time. ( I guess they have it at different locations all the time) and met Megan up there.
They had a lot of things going on...bouncy house and slide, magician, dancing...and then the movie..Monster's University! It was a beautiful night with this amazing super moon coming up.
One afternoon we went out to check out the new quilted bear. Katie was thinking about possibly putting some of the furniture they are making out there to sell. I love the way they have updated the store. We had a nice time shopping around. I liked the message on this sign...just what I've been feeling! must stitch! Camille found a beautiful picture of the Salt Lake Temple.
We got this pool right after Camille got here and it was a good investment...it entertained the kids on many a hot afternoon
Number three loves my rolls too
Stephanie and Jeff came over one night and Lizzy was seriously in love with her dog. I've never seen her act like this before!
We had some good times going down the slide onto the trampoline when we had the boat home for a while.
We had an incident with one of the chickens that I intentionally didn't take a picture of. It was probably one of the top ten grossest things I have ever seen. Candice and I were the only ones here so we tried to handle the situation (come to find out it wasn't really a situation...just a gross thing that chickens sometimes do) Well what it was, was that the chickens's butt looked like it was falling out. I thought it must have had an egg stuck in there cause it was all bulging and inflamed. To make it even better, it looked like it was trying to poop, but it was just running down it's backside. Oh and to make it even better the other chickens had pecked off all of it's behind feathers so it was all bare and just hanging out there. I think I might throw up a little thinking about it. There was a lot of dry heaving that day.
Anyway, Candice and I thought we should try to help this poor creature out, so we put on grandmas big aprons and rubber gloves and went and fetched the chicken out of the coop. (Oh we googled all the symptoms and it said to soak the rear end in some warm water) So we got a big tub of water and held the chickens bottom in it. It didn't seem to mind one bit! I think she knew we were trying to help her. We felt around there and there was no egg there so we just cleaned her up as good as we could. We thought she would surely die, but apparently, that's just something that happens to chickens sometimes. She has healed up and is looking much better now.
This is Kelley loading up the truck to go to the dump...one of about fifty trips he took there when he was cleaning out his garage. I can't tell you how wonderful his cleaned out garage is! Everything is organized and you can find what you're looking for and it looks neat...really, it just makes me so happy!
My cute little beekeeper
Camille went to see Dr. Bradley to have some moles removed. (Emily would not leave the moles on Camille's neck alone..would pick at them till they bled every time she nursed her!) Kate was there for support and comic relief.
Missing them all so much
