She was a dog. The leaf was her tail. She also had 3 balls stuffed inside her swim suit. Not sure what they were supposed to represent?!?!?!? I asked her, and she didn't know either. She said that she just felt like putting balls in her suit. OK then.........

Today I went to the county recorder's office to look up past deeds to Nikki's house. I have traced it back to 1911 when I believe that it was just land before a house was built. Now I am looking around online into the history of some of the previous owners. At first I thought I had a hot piece of info. on the original owner being a bootlegger. Turns out it was a different guy with the same name. Nikki's guy (who's name is Guy) was a Presbyterian minister - boring! But, I did find that the original owner's mom was related to Farrells! So, I think that in some strange way I must be part owner of that house!

I went on a bike ride (a long bike ride) with some people from work. We went 20 miles. I didn't think that I could do it but I made it (now my butt really hurts, I hope that I can walk tomorrow).

Exhausted on the bus on the way home from camp. Her hair is blue-ish because today was Wacky Wednesday.

The kids put the sprinkler under the trampoline so they could jump and cool off too. Madi is at her home this week, and I miss her.

Colleen and I went to the Swedish Days craft show today. These are pendants for necklaces. We both bought a necklace from this lady. It was lots of fun picking them out because she had so many to choose from.

Today we went to Swedish days with my Dad it was so hot out I gave James Ice cream for the 1st time. James was just in his diaper most of the time. He also learned to clap his hands and say yay! Then me and James danced to the music, he loved that.

Hot enough for ya? Actually I drove by this sign on my way to the bank and it read 104 degrees but I didn't have the camera ready.

Walking across the 'Rainbow Bridge' at camp. The tradition is to choose one color & step only on that color while crossing, then, of course, to make a wish at the end. We both chose purple.

What else are you going to do when it's 99 degrees out? This, of course, is a backwards dive. And look in the background. Here comes the haywagon for the Girl Scouts to build thier float for the 4th of July parade.

I was out watering the sod today and found a hole. Some water had gotten in the hole and all of a sudden a couple of baby chipmunks came out! It was very cute!

Near the end of a hot day at Girl Scout Day Camp - cooling off with some water games

Here is the point in Jesse's game where they should have put on their rally caps. They started the 7th inning losing, 3-6. Then they got 2 runs in. Jesse had an RBI. It wasn't enough though, and they lost 5-6. It was a fun season anyhow. Now I need to talk him into playing on the tournament team next month. Otherwise, I'll have to wait until next spring for high school baseball.

Today is Father's day we all went to the horse race track. It was soo hot that day. Here's a pic of what we gave Joe for father's day. I went and got pictures of James taken for Joe and my Dad. James was in a Navy uniform.

They tried their "rally caps" but it didn't work. They are out of the playoffs and the 2009 summer baseball season is over.(Note: The photo was such a perfect shot of 'Boys at baseball game' that it looked to me (Maureen) like they were posing for a Rockwell painting, which made me want to see what it would look like in black & white. Thought I'd add the b/w version here for everyone to see. Nice shot, Marla!)

After a long day out in the sun at soccer, the kids asked me to bring them & their friends to the splash park by Cole's house!

My friend Margaret's son, Mike, competes in demolition derbys. He builds his cars in our barn. Today he competed in Metal Mayhem in Oregon, IL. Jesse, Lance, Madi & I went to watch. Mike's car is 883, the tan car. He qualified in that race to compete in the finals. But, there were many races after his and the kids didn't want to wait until the finals, so we left. On the way home, we had to stop in Hebron for a helicopter to land in the road. There was a motorcycle accident. When we finally got through, there was a dead deer by the side of the road. I think he may have hit it.

Joey...after a long day of more sod and planting...Will things ever slow down?

Remember Madi's jellyfish costume from last Halloween? I emailed a picture and description of the costume to Family Fun magazine. They emailed back and told me that they LOVED the costume and wanted to use it in their Oct. issue and pay me $100 for my idea! I don't think that they will use Madi's photo. Looking at last year's issue, it looks like they credit people for their ideas, but make their own costume and use their own models. That's ok. It's still cool that my idea is getting published!

Shelby and Annie slept over last night. So, inbetween storms we went to the splash park.
