24th of July visitors
It was so much fun to have Tim's family and niece Taila Klepinger (Jay's oldest daughter) and her friend Brittany drop by. We attended the morning parade, some went to the arts and crafts fair, and then a big storm hit in the afternoon, so everyone came to our house to take cover! We ate warm soup and homemade bread and watched the lightening show out the dining room window. Good fun!
Shelbie Week
Cousins.
Playing in the creek
Finding baby birds
Learning that their mother
is the best provider after all.
Spending time together
listening to music
riding go-carts
washing dishes side by side
talking about clothes and hair.
Going to the temple
helping by proxy to open the gate
thru their selfless service
for precious female souls.
Cousins.
Peach roses
This morning it was early, Mark had just left for work and I took some clippers out of the tool shed to do some debudding on my roses. This triple cluster of roses (in various stages of growth) just took my breath away. A young new bud, one just beginning to open and one in full bloom. Made me think about the "circle of life" and rejoice in the season I am blessed to be living in...a grandmother. In full bloom. Enjoying her posterity. Grateful for the years of blessings that have come my way. Thank you, Father.
4th of July snaps
Okay, I didn't capture everyone that was here. But they were...and we loved them all.
Jenny's Birthday Pinata
Thank you Tim and Cindy for bringing a way cool pinata up for Jenny's birthday celebration. We love that Mexican tradition!
