Ice Blocking

Today Summer and her little charge, Hallie, went ice blocking.

Ally and I tagged along. Ally liked helping to pull the block back up the hill...


But wasn't a huge fan of the downhill ride.


Mostly because she had visions of her favorite downhill ride...THE SLIDE

She loved it!

But better than the slide, THE SWING!

Although swings aren't as much fun when Grandbill isn't there. Who else can say "Don't kick you me!!" and then stumble all over and fall on the ground better than Grandbill.

After all he has been doing that for nearly 30 years!!!!

It was a GREAT day at the park!

And they are YUMMY!!! Can hardly wait for the pie!



This is one of Summer's great photos from the garden at the old house.

Hope all of you are having a GREAT SUMMER!!!! And hope these reminders bring some happy memories to you...from us with love!

LA Trip and Mom's Birthday!

OK!!!! Happy birthday to mom!!!!! I got up early on the morning of mom's birthday and after much trial, I made her some delicious crepes!!! We loved them! YUMMY!

"peaches...."

I think that mom had a pretty good birthday. I even shniked and got her some cherry pie....although it wasnt all that great, sorry mom :(




These are all of mom's presents combined! And not to mention, we did get her a nice sink...although, it was quiet the hasel to get it in!
I went to go visit the Linde family this week!!! YAY!!! it was so much fun, and i am so grateful that I can go fly over there to visit. Daniel is pretty much the most happy and fat baby ever. He was also so happy and delightful, I like him! Ally is more precious then ever and her laugh is a crack up. She still is getting used to walking without her cast on. By the end of the week she actually got pretty good at walking and even some attempts to jumping! LA was AWESOME!!!



This is Ally looking at the Elephant display at the Natural HIstory Museum. I think that all of us LOVED this awesome museum. Jame and I definetly agreed that it was worth the money. Ally loved all of the awesome animals, they were great. I liked the awesome rock display that they had. There were so many different minerals and gems, it was awesome. I forgot how much i really do love rocks!



They had a sweet rain forest room that kind of freaked out Ally, but it was way cool.

Friday night we went to the Santa Monica Pier. I had so much fun and it was really funny and enjoyable to see all of the different people there. I was suprised at how completely differnt the atmosphere is at night. Totally awesome. Plus, we got the most tasty cotton candy ever. I have not had it in FOREVER!!! Jamie and I pretty much scarfed down the whole thing. It was SOOO good!

On the corner to the pier there were two guys dancing. Such a funny and wierd thing to me. That doesnt normally happen in Colorado. But they were actually pretty good. I liked it.

On saturday we took a nice drive down by bel-air. We saw some of the most amazingly HUGE houses. I got a little car sick but I enjoyed it nonetheless!!

I had such a great time in LA! Thanks for letting me come visit Jamie, LaDon, Ally, and Daniel! It was the greatest.
