Audrey Dear

Today Audrey was tired and wiggly and I was struggling to hold her as we visited with company after lunch.  I asked her what was wrong and why she was so wiggly   and she said "My brains not working!"

Summer is so much fun!

Temperatures reached above 90 today I think at one point the car thermometer read 103!  

The girls and I cooled off with a nice dip in the lake and then we spent the evening around a bonfire enjoying smores with some very special company, Duane and Thane.  

What a great summer day!

This just in . . . from the blue group

I think we might have a journalist on our hands. 

Yes. These are my kids . . .

So . . . I'm the Mom who's kid comes home with a school picture in which she is wearing someone elses glasses!

She doesn't even wear glasses.

Me.  "You are hilarious!"

Me.  "So, Amanda . . . Where are your school pictures?"

Amanda.  "I told Nila (the school secretary) I didn't want pictures."

Yes.  These are my kids!

I love em'
