Play rehearsals were outside today, because, apparently, they were locked out of the high school. While the principals were rehearsing, the extras in the cast had a lot of free time. We spent much of our time playing with the camera...

Ever since Cole got his braces off a few weeks ago it been gum, gum, gum. And, he now knows how to blow a bubble.

The school nurse sent a note home indicating that Jesse needed to have his eyes tested. We went to the eye doctor today and he does need glasses. He opted to get contacts. He is very surprised at how much better he can see now!

Pretty colors!?! (Sorry, the only thing I have to take a picture of is my foot...kinda gross, but I am unable to do much these days!)

James rode his little rocking horse, can you believe this used to be Jessica's when she was a baby.

Sleepover! We found out today that Corey is probably moving very soon. He'll still be in town, but not in the same neighborhood school. That will make for lonelier school days for Shelby, but, hopefully, we'll just make up for it with more sleepovers!First Stephen & Farrell announced a move, then Bryce, now Corey... We're starting to wonder if everyone might just be trying to get away from us...

Dylan's new apartment building in Chicago's Wicker park neighborhood. They are the bottom window with entrance on the side of the building (you can kinda see them moving a mattress in). I didn't go with for the move but sent my camera with Eric and I hope to visit in the next few days to check it out.

The Girl Scouts built their parade float in my barn today. Christmas in July is the theme.

Today is Janet's Birthday! I also went to the movies with a friend to see My sister's Keeper. It was really sad but very good.

Dylan packing his stuff up for his big move to Chicago tomorrow. Him and a friend have an apartment there.

I was a day late for this picture but I took it today. I can't believe he is 11 months.

Monday was going to be better?? What happens....I sprain my ankle...seriously??

I was putting some branches on the burn pile out back, still feeling crummy about my neighbor, and there among the branches was this daisy growing. Sometimes it's the littlest things like this that can bring a little cheer.

First day of swimming lessons. They're taking them at 7:15p, this year. Of course, this had to be the week where it started cooling off at night...

Today James learned how to crawl and now he doesn't stop moving around everywhere.

Spent the day weeding and trimming bushes, trying to keep my mind off the crazy man next door. Also went to a bra party and bought a ridiculously expensive bra. I have always wanted to be measured properly, but had no idea it would be so expensive. But, you know, at those parties it's always hard to leave without buying something. Guess I should have gone to Swedish Days!

We are thinking of starting our own cleaning business....ok, not really...Thank goodness my family jumped in and helped..this was a project we were not prepared for!

Today was so crazy our trip for a day of boating turned into a day at the beach. Me and Joe got sunburned though. We were sad that something was wrong with the boat since it hasn't been used in a year. We think it's just the battery. All and All still had fun.
Maureen June 27, 2009
We went to visit Al during the day, then, when we got home, Molly & boys were about to leave to bring Keno to Ferson Creek. I loaded the kids back in the car & we went, too. They all had lots of fun!
Miranda June 27, 2009
All I did was clean today...our house and then the townhouse that we rent out....Today sucked...Tomorrow has to be better...or, maybe Monday will be!

It's too long of a story for here, but today when I went outside to mow, my neighbor over there started screaming at me. I haven't talked to him in probably over 2 years, and that was when he was screaming at me again. I try to mind my own business and not bother anyone, but anyhow as he did last time, he is threatening to put my child care out of business. And as always, what sets him off never has anything to do with my child care. Guess I'll just cross my fingers and hope it blows over.

Annie at the playground while we were waiting for the 'Movie In The Park' to begin

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.
Marla June 23, 2009
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.
Margie June 23, 2009
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!
