Pool Time

Our friends, the Martins, had our homeschool group over to swim.  The kids had a blast with their friends.  Mhari was even able to join us!  It is sure great to see everyone enjoy being together... and get cooled off in the nice pool!  It was an exhausting morning and Clark conked out when we got home.  Oh, and more food from the garden .... tomatoes finally :). 

 

So long for now

The Bakers are getting ready to head back to Colorado.  We had a fun hang out with horse riding and pond swimming with the Humphries before they left.  We sure love them and miss them when they are gone!

Bonded!

Lizzie and the chicklets have bonded.  They come all the way up to the house and Lizzie just hangs out.  They are so cute together!  I would like her to keep them off the porch, but that seems to be too complex to teach at this point.  At least she's not eating them :)

 

Beautiful Sky!

Sometimes we get amazing sunsets!  I sure love living on property and getting to enjoy God's wonderful creations!  

 

Jewelry

The girls have wanted a new necklace/jewelry holder for a while. I decided we could use some scrap wood from our countertops.  We sanded and stained them.  The girls painted them with flowers.  Then we figured out the hooks.  Trying to get the hooks into the oak wood was so difficult.  I had to predrill the holes because the wood was so hard the hooks wouldn't go in.  Then we finally got hooks so we could hang them up.  It took a while, but they sure look nice on their wall!

 

Suit Shopping

In preparation for Talmage and Cami's wedding, Jeff needed a new suit.  We took a trip to the Men's Warehouse to figure out sizing and the color that they wanted.  The color was to be blue, navy, but not dark navy.  Does that make sense?  See why we needed to try on a blue and check with the couple to see if it worked?  Looks like we found some options.  

While we were there, Clark got measured for a suit.  I figured it would be good to have an idea what kind of size we are looking for when mission shopping comes around in a few years.  They measured him at 46 XL for his jacket.  So crazy!  He's not done growing yet too!

 

Bridals

Talmage and Cami's wedding is right around the corner!!!  To prepare they went out and did a "First Look" and Bridal photos.  Here are just a few of the highlights!  They both look amazing!  We are so excited for their wedding!
