Swimming ROCKS!

We finally got the pool out a few weeks ago, and put Keira in, after her brothers begged! She couldn't decide if she should laugh or cry!
I think that over all, she has fun!

Grandpa George

I love my Grandpa! He has always been so gentle and loving to his grand kids. He makes wooden cars for third world countries in his spare time, and loves doing it. His health has been fading the last few years, and he is starting to get really forgetful. It is so hard to see someone you love so much, get older. At Amanda's wedding, he picked Keira up as I was cleaning some things up, and when I noticed them, she was looking up into his face just talking away as she played with his tie. He was smiling and talking back, it was so sweet, so I snagged a few pictures. I hope that she will treasure these pictures later in her life when he is gone.


They probably talked for about 10 minutes! I hope that she will be able to really TALK with him someday!

New cake

This is my sister Amanda's wedding cake that I made last week. I think that it turned out perfect.
It was a lot of cake! Luckily, she was smart enough to serve the cake for the refreshments, and didn't have much left over! Everyone helped with this cake. Branden and Jace helped mix cakes and grease and flour pans, and eat left overs! Ryan helped with icing, and Keira helped with clean-up! Or really, just helped me with messes to clean up!

There were little chocolate hand prints all over my floor! I had to mop before I could finish the cake! Yes, my child is the devil! Really, someone turned the red eye thingie off on my camera!

Three little Indians, or Way too much sun and not enough sun screen!

I had to laugh the other day as my boys were getting out of the shower. I had to send them in to show daddy their bums! Put on your sunglasses for these pics!

Branden and Jace were pretty embarrassed about the picture thing, but not Ashton! He was wagging that hind end all over for the camera! You gotta love the back yard swimming pool! I swear, I really do put sun screen on them!
