June Blooms!!

Been such a busy month around here!! I know I always say that, but it just seems like everyday is filled with more and more things to do. Here are some highlights from June!!

Eating with Dad at Olive Garden while we wait for Mom to get home from Vancouver....
At the airport......Vana, Sadie, and Rylie had a BALL entertaining the visitors WAY past their bedtime. :o)

Picking up golf balls in Thibodaux...they seem to enjoy dumping the balls MUCH more than picking them up.

My tan babies...the pool has been our hideout this year!!

Sadie Bug FINALLY smiling for the camera....

Our new bench from our sweet neighbors....

PURE JOY.

We can hardly CONTAIN our excitement!!! :o)

CUPCAKES from Lauren Johnson...the greatest snack ever.

Rylie...that little smile could launch a thousand ships...or something like that for my literary friends. :o)

The girls turned two on June 20th! We had a birthday party here at the house with our lifegroup and other friends. Instead of gifts, we asked everyone to bring donations to help our dear, dear friends, Eric and Lauren Johnson, adopt their son from Ethiopia. It was the most special party in the world!! I hope we are able to teach them that giving really is better than receiving. In other great news, Melissa is PREGGERS! She and Wade will have another munchkin in January, so our Callie will have another cousin her age. HOO-RAY! :o) We are going to Illinois this weekend to see my grandpa, so I'm pretty excited about that. It's a long drive, but it's SO worth the precious moments we get to spend with him. We also landscaped our house with the fabulous work of Grammie!! Mom did an exceptional job, and I can't wait to post pictures of her hard work....she is the greatest landscaper in the world!!!!! Hope everyone is staying somewhat cool in the midst of this heat...love to all!!!
