No camera today. Just for a little while, but I miss it.
I wanted to take a picture of the caterpillar that got painted. Oh, it was pretty! Maybe it will turn into a Painted Lady Butterfly.

And in case you didn't know...
"Caterpillars have wwwaarts in their mouth and they boom it in your eyes!"
I just love boys.

Paige absolutely hates the camera pointed in her direction. So this shot cost me a dollar but it was worth it. She loves to spend as many hours as I will allow her out on the swing or picnic table with a good book.

Then miss nosey comes along.

If she makes enough funny faces and oohs and grunts she's bound to be picked up. She wins this game every time.

How was your morning?

Mine was great! Nothing exciting but just a relaxing, nice morning.

We started our day by checking out our lilies that the kids have been growing since Easter. Courtney's is in full bloom right now.

Then Courtney and the boys made some blueberry muffins that were very uneven but very delicious!

While the muffins were baking, Paige had made a word search for the boys and Jacob was really excited about it. "I can't finda H in this middle a letters!"

Little Boys and Polywogs

Can you tell they posed for me? I just couldn't help it, what with their new green shirts and all. It's a great color for them with their tan faces (they sure didn't get that from me!)

The boys (all three of them) went fishing today and came back with a bucket full of tadpoles. That was the highlight of our day. We have no room for ANOTHER aquarium in our kitchen, though, so we can only keep a few and they will have to live with the salamanders.

Cute little guy, isn't he?

Gracie Faces

"What's this? It looks like a puddle of water with my name written all over it!"

Evening with Kandeaux

The girls and I took a trip to the barn tonight and we all got to ride. Seeing these pictures of Paige is just like looking at my old photos of when I was about her age (on the same horse). This May he turned 20. Boy, I feel old.

The Pathways

Gorgeous day for a walk. The water was a little too chilly for me but the kids didn't mind at all. My kids love taking this trip but they love even more to go with friends.





After our walk, Grandma Connie treated us to some ice cream. Grace is getting so spoiled that she begs for anything you're eating now, especially when it's a snack. I don't think Grandma got to eat much of her cone.
