Baden Lake







Once again we had an awesome time at Baden Lake with the Shepperds! The girls click so well with each other. The big hit this summer was taking a WILD ride on the inner tube. Scott threw Harper and Mallory off and about did them in. Then he threw me off. I had to immediately go again for a good example of "If you fall off the horse, get up and ride it again."

Picking Blueberries at Littlejohn's

Ok, the day that it is the hottest day of the summer, I decide that I want to go pick blueberries. I can always count on Mallory to want to go. We did go in the morning, but it was so hot!! Mallory said, "Mom, have you ever been so hot you felt like you were going to puke?" She was so sweet though. We were needing to fill up two gallon baskets and she wasn't complaining at all. She would just say things like," I can fill sweat dripping down my back, or that breeze feels so good." I asked her if she wanted to go to the car and I could put the air on and I would pick the rest? She thought for a minute and then said, "but I don't want you to pick alone." That is my sweet girl Malaboo!!!
The blueberries are delicious!!!! They were plentiful on the bushes, but you could tell that it was getting towards the end of the picking season.

Maddie and Nathan's play date







Today Maddie and Nathan Hamel came over for a play date. We had so much fun. We went swimming, played in the front yard doing wheel barrel races, played with Elmo, drank smoothies, etc... Nathan saw his friend "Freddie" the ant. Also it was fun to watch he and Taylor Grace swim around the pool chasing the "cleaning man", which was the aqua bot, and splashing each other with the water hose.
