Softball game

O and I decided to play softball with the grown-ups at the picnic. I didn't last too long, because the bat hit her in the face. But here's O on 2nd, running to 3rd, and running home!

Church Picnic

We had our annual church picnic last Sunday. It was a great day for it! Here are the girls in the sac race. Daddy is helping O along, and Pastor is helping I.

Weekend fun

We had a really fun weekend! It started with a going away party for some church friends here on Friday evening. Then Saturday our friend Kevin was in town visiting from Taiwan! So Lisa and her family came over and we all hung out. Kevin was able to spend the night and join us for church and lunch before he had to go. It was really great to see him again - it's been 3 years, way too long! Thanks for the visit Kevin!

Swimming

We spent the afternoon at what the girls call "the tire swing park" with our friends J and Lisa on Thursday. We always have fun with them!

More cleaning

More cleaning was done by the girls yesterday! Here they are washing the windows!

Happy 4th of July!

We spent the morning of the 4th picking strawberries. It was a lot more fun than I had expected, and it was nice to have fresh strawberries for supper and for strawberry pancakes!

Cleaning

Cleaning has been VERY low on our priorities lately, so week took some time to catch up on just a very small amount yesterday. Olivia took some coaxing, but still helped out. Isabelle couldn't get enouch vacuuming! Here she is sucking up the hair in Mandy's kennel for me. It's nice to have such great help!

The drive home

It's pretty obvious that they had fun when they look like this 3 minutes into the 30 minute drive home.

Camping

We took the girls on their first camping trip this weekend. It rained, but they still loved it!


Here they are helping put the tent up.

Muffins - yum!

Fun in the tent.

It was cold at the beach, but they had fun anyway!

Roasting marshmallows is always so much fun! Too bad the only fire we could get going was a paper fire. The wood just wasn't catching.
