Quick Summer Update



Nope that's not me. I just wanted to brag on my little sis for a minute. She ran the half marathon in Utah last Saturday. Her time was a few minutes under two hours. She's amazing! She had to hurdle some really tough barriers to make it to that day. One of them being that she had a bad knee injury and couldn't train for about a month and a half. I'm so glad she did it. I'm one proud sister. Go Melissa! Now I need to convince her to come do some races here with me. :)

We found this cute baby bunny in our backyard the other day. His momma didn't ever come back for him and we didn't have anything to keep him in, so we gave him to my violin student. I'm sure he will be well taken care of there.

The other night, Natalie came down in these slips with her flowers and said she was "getting married". My little girl is growing up too fast. Before we know it, she really will be getting married.

The kids have been having a blast swimming a few times a week.

Blake is still a little unsure of the water thing, but he'll get the hang of it.

Craft Night!

from left to right (Amy, Summer, Amber, Michelle, me)


I hosted craft night at my place last night. As usual, it was lots of fun. It's always nice to get in some girl talk after taking care of kiddos all week long. And they turned out so cute! I'm pleased to say that each one cost about a dollar or less to make. I bought the wood at Home Depot and had them cut it. I was able to use scraps, so the wood was only $2 for 9 sets of blocks. I felt like I had ripped them off after I heard my total, but I'm not complaining.
