Taking down the swing set.  This was one of the first things we put in for the boys 16 years ago when we moved in.  Shelby was sad to see it go, though she very rarely used it anymore.

There are at least 13 frogs in the pond this year.

Mark needed to make room in the shed for the stuff he moved out of the garage.

Shelby's bff had never been camping so Mark set the tent up in our yard for them.  They had a fire, made s'mores and slept out.

Library day.
Didn't watch a movie, didn't find a new recipe or sewing project....love the fact that it didn't cost me anything to do nothing with this pile!

monday, july 23

Black Eyed Susan's have reappeared...I pulled them out a few years ago because they looked like crap with mold all over the leaves.  They're looking good this year from lack of rain.

Matthew lost his headlights on the way home from work last night.  Mark found the problem and ordered the part. 

saturday, july 21

Matthew came up behind me as I was doing dishes and scared the crap out of me with this mask that Shelby made while camping.  Kinda creepy....

On their way home they drove through this covered bridge.

Shelby and her friend went kayaking in this lake.

Mark and Shelby went camping with people that Mark works with. 

tuesday, july 17

Shelby deciding what other flavor she wants with the mt. dew...they were out of cherry.  She ended up picking coke.   This is becoming a habit... :)  She played in 2 games tonight and played very well.  Still improving.

monday, july 16

Shelby went to Six Flags with her friend Lauren.  She won her hat from playing a game.  She loves roller coasters and even though it was 90 some degrees and humid they all had a great time.

When all else fails...take a picture of your flowers for the potd :)  I love my double lily.  I had to move them last year because of the voles and only one bloomed so I will have to see if I can find somewhere else in my shady yard with enough sun for them. 

saturday, july 14

Not sure what is up with Shelby and balloons in the pool this year but she is having fun with them!

Matthew climbed Mr. Osceola (4,000 ft) with 2 of his friends.  Took them about 4 hours. 

thursday, june 12

Matthew trying out the new goggles.  Silly, young man!

wednesday, july 11

Another volunteer job at the library...Creatures of the Night.  Shelby loved Lucille and she was the only one who got to hold her, everyone else just was able to pet her.  You get some perks when you volunteer. 

tuesday, july 10

Made a slurpee stop after Shelby's basketball game.  Look how red and sweaty she is!  She played hard 

monday, july 09

Little by little Mark is taking down the fence.   

sunday, july 08

Michael A decided to long board to work.  It took him approximately 45 minutes.  He ended up falling doing approximately 20 miles per hour while on the phone, cracking the screen.  His right calf is hurting.  Not sure if he'll be doing that ride again. 

saturday, july 07

Washing windows and screens...fun...NOT! 

friday, july 06

Can you say attitude?!!??  She's trying not to smile because she knows that I was right about how she was acting. 

thursday, july 05

Mark getting as many dead limbs down as possible without having to climb the tree.  We think he'll be climbing to get the rest.
