Pool Party

This water baby is SO HAPPY!!!

And her big sister is so happy to turn on the bath jets! 

May grandparents had a jacuzzi when I was little. 

I loved it!

My mom's favorite story is when she took me swimming in a river 

and I would not go into the currents because it was "too jacuzzi" for me. 

For my girls, the more bubbles...the more giggles!

A Painted Princess

She finally found paint that sparkles! 

"It's MAGICAL!!"

I love that she wants to wear EVERY twirling skirt that she owns...at the same time.

This is not something new :-)

Sleeping Beauty

My sweet, sweet girl!

You are so beautiful inside and out

and I love you more than you will ever know.

Loving broccoli and organically growing!

A Little Friend

Ryan picked up a baby lizard in the middle of a work parking lot the other day. The lizard then quickly crawled up his arm and into his clothing. Can you imagine the looks from fellow scientists as he danced and jiggled trying to get it out? I wish I could have seen that.

The next day I found the little friend in our house, and after a quick sketch we released her into the fields behind our house. Now we stop during our after dinner walk at the log where we placed her and Gracie says "Hello dear friend. I hope you are having a wonderful life!"

I sure am!
