Falling into summer.

We are completely into Summer mode around here.  No place to be in the mornings. Kids can get themselves up and around.  I usually get woken up by someone's screams or by Robert hoping I will make him a green smoothie before he leaves for work.  Yep - that is how lazy I have been, I am soaking it up now, and saving my responsible-early mornings for school. (which is sadly right around the corner). 

The kids still prefer raw veggies, if I can get this kind of plate out and ready after the pool but before dinner they chow down. We are getting one cucumber and several yellow tomatos out of the garden daily.

 Pool time is all the time

 My grandma and I - I think she is stretching, or rubbing something?

 Father's Day/Birthday outing of golf at Veekner.

 Summers are for Chevelle driving

 If this suit came in my size I would wear it too!

Merle Hay Target for the win! 3 bags of popcorn for $4 made for the best ride home to Ames

 The girls were invited for a playdate, that left Dallas and I alone to find out own plans.  He decided to put on a fancy shirt for lunch. I took him to The Grove Diner, biggest and best pancakes in Ames.  We sat at the counter and watched them cook and talked about which kind of car would autocross the best.

I babysat for Audrey and introduced her to nectarines.  She didn't want anything to do with it, until she wanted everything to do with it and then I couldn't have it back

Eatting my Good Guys - Iowa State Fair grounds tenderloin low carb.  Who needs the bun anyway?

 We found the biggest moth we have ever seen outside of a butterfly garden.  This imperial moth (Erin helped id) was hanging out on our tree.  It was easily 6 inches and had a very fury body.

 Dallas and Noelle had the idea to put on a wedding for two bears.  These are some of the guests, the isle and the Very Hungary Catapiller acting as the minister.

 Instead of racing his fun car, Robert came home from a work trip and hauled 2 cubic yards of mulch for me.  He is such a family guy!

Emily has been attending a program called Thrive a couple times a week at church.  This session she learned and made her own fresh flower corsage.
