Luau!

Maureen June 30, 2012

The puppies dug a hole under the fence opposite the hole that the kids had already dug on the other side of the fence, thereby making their escape! Annie saw them come through & brought them back in. Then Shel & I cut some junk trees down so that we could move the dog house over a few feet, blocking their hole.

Sleepy baby

I cooked Cole some frozen salmon to put on a salad...actually I ended up burning the salmon and putting turkey on it instead. I found these instructions a bit confusing..."cook on medium-high FREAT"...maybe that's why I overcooked it.

Maureen June 28, 2012

Hot, hot, hot day! We got to the pool just as the lifeguards were taking their much needed safety break.

This my view - ALL day! My little boy's incisor teeth are coming in and he is miserable...so sad!

Marla June 21, 2012

We usually save the gift cards that Cole gets for his birthday/Christmas for when he really wants something. Today was the day, he got new headphones for his Xbox.

Maureen June 21, 2012

The kids were trying to spend the entire day outside today. They did pretty good. When it started raining this morning, they made a shelter for themselves & the puppies with the picnic table & an old sandbox.
