Salsa, Salsa, Salsa, Zucchini bread!!!




My mom is an amazing woman!! She has given me so many veggies this summer, I have loved it. I'm sure she could supply the whole town! I had a lot of help when I was grinding and bagging the zucchini......

Making do!!

We didn't have the time to do a camping trip, but what kid doesn't love a campfire with smores!!! So Grampy went to work on helping us again. He works so hard to make things work out for me, I appreciate all he does...even when he bites his tongue and just does it.



We all appreciated his work for us!!!




Clark and Quinn could hardly stand it.. they wanted to help build the fire.....


Hot dogs for all, Clark got a lesson on where to get the best roasted dog!!
Quinn decided that he would just have his cold!



After all was done, Clark sat at the fire with me and talked. It was so wonderful to watch him and have him share with me how he experiences life!

Grampy!!!

Grampy is great fun and everyone loves him... and makes all the moms say...

OH.... Be careful!!

But the boys ate it up. They all loved the lift that took them way high!!!
The weather wasn't very nice to us so we didn't get to go out on the boat much, but had a lot of fun and great visits with the Hodgson's!! What a great family my daughter is now a part of! We loved having them over.

Update



This past month was an exciting one. We had special visitors from Alabama.......so we decided that special visits should get special attention. Aunti Shell showed off her skills from cheerleading, making awesome signs.


So we posted them around the neighborhood to guide them to us! It was fun making them.
We did have signs for Jared and Steph too, but we didn't get pictures of them before the sprinklers got them. We were actually happy to see them too! The time spend together was short but sweet! It was fun to get reacquainted with Gordon, he changed so much. Clark was talking up a storm and letting us know about everything! Life is good! I have a fantastic husband, who puts up with my craziness, beautiful daughters who are so willing to help each other and me, amazing sons who run to and fro to help me get things just so...point and they go!! I love you boys! and fearful son-in-laws (that they might actually start to understand this mess!) My grand kids are the best in the world! No joke!!

I LOVE MY FAMILY!!

The boys
