Hodge-podge of a post

I finally was able to upload pictures from my camera to the new computer.  Hopefully now I'll be better at updating.  Hopefully.

 

 

My birthday landed last weekend.  Sunday we were able to meet my family at my grandparents for the day.  We enjoyed our long over-due visit with them.

 

John has taken a big interest in playing guitar.  Quite often when Daddy goes upstairs to his studio, John will tag along.  I guess this particular session lasted too long! :)

 

I'm amazed at how long and hard the kids can play, especially in the summer time.  Sometimes bedtime comes before they are ready.

This is probably the biggest deal of summer.  Grandpa is teaching the kids how to drive the 4 wheeler.  It's so cute watching the kids drive by.  (Katie is driving on this picture).  Over and over I'm thankful our kids are able to be raised in the country.  

(This picture was taken last summer)  This summer meant 11 years of marriage for me and him.  Thankful for him and the life we're building together.

Craft day with cousins.

We found this guy crawling on our driveway.  Quite the snappy fella!

Father's Day

Helping Daddy work on the chimney.

The pup isn't such a pup anymore.  She's grown so much.  She was quite curious as Benji skinned his rabbit.
