By request, here is a pic of my new car!

Monarch

Here is a page I created for our fun Monarch Release!

Subtle Memories

A layout I created this evening with the beautiful Subtle Memories kit from Greener Grass Designs.

Monarch Release

Our friend, Tracie and her girls have been watching the life cycle of monarchs up close. They provided us with 3 caterpillars and we were able to watch the metamorphosis in action! Today, 2 of them hatched and we released them. What an experience. Thanks, Tracie!

God's creation is sooo ultra amazing. I couldn't believe how quickly they came out of their chrysalis this morning. Their wings were all rumpled and small looking but within a few minutes, they were all pumped up with fluid. If you have never witnessed this amazing transformation, I would recommend doing so!

County Fair

We made the deadline this year and entered some projects in the Fair. Here is Maggie with her drawing of Koko, above her head. She participated thru Cloverbuds, where they receive participation ribbons, no judging.

Here she is with her photo of Koko that she titled, "Shame Dog in Sunlight

."

Luke entered pencil drawing (behind him on the table) and rec'd a white ribbon for his entry.

His Lego Spaceship received a blue ribbon! He was really excited about that!! It's the long ship in the background.

And, his photograph of Koko also earned him a blue! We are very proud of both of them!!

Lift

Jesse had to rent a lift for some painting he was working on. These are pics with Jesse and his brother, Alex painting waaaaaay up there.

Cool guys! Our friend, Russ went up in the lift with Jesse the day before. And, Jesse's Dad was working off ladders on a different section. We were thankful for the help on such a big job!

Soccer Camp

Soccer Camp was fun for the kids. It was 2.5 hours/day for 5 days. They were exhausted by the last b/c of the heat! Luke having a blast!!

Maggie had to have some shorts from Justice that were 'sporty' as she called it!
