Silly

We were leaving this morning to go run a couple of errands and as we headed out the door I realized that we had all put on Navy Blue. It looked like we were going to get our picture taken so of course . . . I took a picture. (Really we were just all supporting in our AGGIE BLUE. :D )

Ananda's Photo Shoot With Luka

Ananda ever so kindly agreed to take some pictures of Lukie for me and even though I know how talented she is, I was blown away. To say the least. I had a really hard time picking some to post, there were sooo many great ones. Thanks Ananda! We both loved looking for 'the great valley' with you!

Swimming Fun

We've only had the pool out twice this summer because it just hasn't been warm very much. But today we did and the kids a lot of fun as always (a little TOO much fun)! And the picture of the fruit in the bag? - Well that is about FORTY peaches and a handful of strawberries that won't make it to jam because Luka picked them this morning while she was outside. (She was outside with brothers because I was supposed to show the house, but of course they didn't show up )

Aspen Lakes Pavilion Dedication

Last Saturday we went to the dedication of the new pavilion at Aspen Lakes. A 'pavilion' is an understatement. It was incredible -reminds me of a glass church in a forest in europe. It was very neat to see Grandpa's legacy continuing to affect so many people. Grandma Lu gave a short talk and looked lovely as always. It was hard to keep it together but a few tears got away from me. It was absolutely gorgeous. It rained until the dedication was almost over, then the rain stopped near the end and they opened all of the sliding garage doors on one side during the closing hymn. It was amazing! It was just wonderful to take my boys up and see the stomping grounds of my youth and see blessings being enjoyed by so many because Grandpa lived his life directed by the Lord. I heard so many people that night saying that it was like being closer to Heaven up there. Tuck and Clay even got to ride the zip line! :)

Tom

We adopted Tom (like 'Tom & Jerry) from the animal shelter Memorial Day weekend. It's been a bit of an adjustment but he is a great cat -super mellow. The kids LOVE him. Welcome to the family Tom.

Clay's Preschool Graduation
