We love summer!

Plentiful Garden

OK, not the greatest pic cause I took it with my phone. This is the girls this afternoon in our garden with our second yummy zucchini! We had it for dinner! Our garden is exploding with veggies! I have looked out the window several times today to see the girls pokin' around out there, just checking things out! We have had lots of salads with the lettuce we've grown, radishes, spinach, and now zucchini! Tomatoes and peppers are going to be plentiful, as well! I love our garden!

Fantastic 4th!

We had a GREAT Independence Day this year at our friend Bob's house on Long Lake. Here are some random pics from the day!




Andreas fresh outta the lake.




Grace came back from a boat ride and said "daddy caught this fish with his teeth!" I don't know, but sounds like a fish story to me!

Long Lake

Here are some pics from the day we spent at Long Lake last weekend playing on the boat. We had a great time and the weather was perfect!


Every year I think it's a good idea to go on the stupid tube...

Hanging on the dock... Carrie, Watt, Ashley and Andreas.

Look ma! No hands!


That's our boat!

Trip to Utah

Andreas and I took a whirl-wind road trip to Utah last week. We spent some time with Aunt Kathy and Uncle Dan as well as Jim and Jo Denslow on Thursday evening when we got in. On Friday we went golfing, my first time ever at El Monte course in Ogden. I had a great time and hope to go again, soon! Then Friday evening we went up Ogden canyon to spend time with my BFF from high school, Crystal and her family. Crystal got married in the mountains near a beautiful river on Saturday. It was perfect, she looked great and it was just the way she wanted it! I am so happy for her and her new found happiness with Dustin. Then we headed back home Saturday night/Sunday morning! The driving sucked but it was great to see friends and family in Utah!

Some of the best things about Spring...

1. The girls are playing softball again.

2. Mariner's games with the family.

3. Warm weather and working in the yard.

4. Arts Walk.

5. Easter.

6. Ashley's baby bump.
