July 4th, 2010...

Enjoying the day with my "sister"...

Squirting water at all the scout troops and sports teams.

A Beautiful bike that got overheated!

Auri was Very proud of the stickers she was getting from all the campaigning folks!

Jackson was dry here, but he was SOAKED from all the squirting!

Pat and Sonjia,

Kassi and Auri have a love for each other that is unmeasurable!..

Auri and her "Shiny Spinner"

We had a great July 4th weekend. With fireworks three days in a row, lots of fun with loved friends!

Jackson is 7!!! TODAY!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JACKSON!!!

He will change the world some day! He's already changed mine!!!

Fun Times At Creekside...

The kids and I enjoy going to Creekside in Gahanna to feed the ducks and walk the paths. It's nice to enjoy such a beautiful place with your children..

Auri, posing in the outfit Mimi made her, with purple flowers, because "that's Mimi's favorite color, and she will like it".

Baby Ducks!!!


Playing in the water...

Jackson was practicing taking pictures with my camera!

He did a great job!


Have a Fabulous Day!!!

SeaShelly?

So... Mom bought the kids hermit crabs. And I'm trying to make them understand that they need to be more creative with the names of them, but for some reason, they just don't get it.

So, Jackson named his Spot, because it's shell is white with black spots... Real Creative! What's he gonna do when it has to move to a bigger shell?...

Auri has named her crab, SeaShelly, because she says it never comes out of it's shell, although it seems to be very active and friendly. And we see it all the time!

And FYI... Crabs are creapy and ugly. But I do find myself talking to them every night before I go to bed. I'm weird, I know!

HeHeHe! Good Times!

Visits With Papa!

I Love These pictures of Dad with the kids, but he's lost A LOT of weight since these were taken, which was only a month or two ago!

I could probably find a picture of my and dad like this when I was Auri's size.

And no matter how sick he is or how horrible he feels, he Always prays with each of us before we leave him!

Have a Blessed Day!
