Summer happenings...

Here's some random pictures and happening from the last bit of the month:

We've had a busy summer around our house. Although we haven't traveled too much, the kids and I have been staying busy at home. They have been having a blast running through the sprinklers in the backyard, almost everyday.

We've been able to enjoy the views from our house to watch all the lightening and thunderstorms we've been having. One day I was able to catch on camera a fire that was started by the lightening across the hill from us.

I picked our first squash from our garden last week and attempted to bake and eat it....unfortunately it was horrible tasting! It sure looked pretty though.

Hosanna is growing so fast...can't believe she'll be one next month!

This morning the kids were playing outside. I thought they were being very quiet, so I decided to check on them. When I peeked out the window, I could see that they had found a roll of duct tape and they were "fixing" things for me. One of the things they fixed was a petrified wood piece on the side of the house. Jeremiah informed me that it was like a spiderweb, only it would catch all the deers! Gotta love 'em!
