Looks like it is time for a BBQ. This year we got off to a great start with BBQ's. The Gillies' and John and I have got this down. We make a phone call figure whats in the fridge that we can share and meet to eat. Greg and Jill were good sports this Sunday and came to help us enjoy in the fun.


These kids are growing faster than the rate of vegetables. They are the life of the party when we all get together. This was a great day. Ryan, Megan and Drew had some time to catch up on all of the things they are doing this summer before heading to college.

Lori and I were admiring this quilt and planning yet another day of quilt making. (Sorry Brent, when I uploaded this I thought you were in the photo)

John even enjoyed the BBQ so much you can see a bit of a smile under all of his fur.

Greg and Jill are enjoying some of the sunshine that we had. It seems like this year was full of storms and wet. It's nice to finally be able to get out into the sunshine and enjoy the heat. Never mind all of those blankets hanging on the line. They were just drying out after the wettest camping trip of EVER.

Ryan, Bella and Lena, Showing off and playing ball to keep Bella occupied while we visited.

Happy Fathers Day

I love my Dad! So glad he is mine.

I think you lost your wisdom

teeth that is.

Ryan and Drew got their wisdom teeth out on Monday 6-13. What a way to celebrate the birthday of their little sister. It was quite an undertaking. Drew was first. He had a rough time getting home. He did much better once he got a few pain pills under his belt. Ryan was second. Surprise the doctor he had grown a fifth tooth. Not many people can tell their kids that story. Needless to say...They are both still pretty full of wisdom even if they don't have teeth where they used to.
