One big update...

OK ok , so here it is. Where have I been? BUSY. Let's see, since summer started, I've been camping twice, had house guests twice, went to South Dakota, went to WI Dells, spent the night downtown with friends, had a tiring week of VBS...and that's in additon to working what...FOUR jobs? So, that's what I haven't updated. So, here it is, all my summer pix in one big fat post!

First...my sister's shower in South Dakota. I don't have any really good pix of the shower, which was beautiful, but I did make sure to take a bunch of shots of the sock flower centerpieces my Mom and I made. They were so cool! And now Bethany has 36 socks for her new baby.











Next, here are some random flowers in my garden. Of course I don't have a full shot of my garden. These flowers are from seeds that my Mom sent Emily from Hawaii.







Except for this one....

Emily is visiting her grandparents, so she missed VBS. Here's Maicy on stage during the final program.











Crazy kid.

Here's a few shots of Emily and the big fish she caught! She's a great fisherman, she does it all on her own. Gets out the worm, chops it in 1/2, hooks it, casts, catches her fish, reels it in, but doesn't take it off. All of this is done SILENTLY. Very strange to watch.






Here's a picture of the table on our back deck that shattered when Emily and I were trying to install the new umbrella. Yikes!!



And becuase I couldn't resist...a picture that Emily took of her sister.
