One of Mariah's best friends, Mariah Jensen, suffered a tragic loss of her 18 year old sister, Courtney a few weeks ago. Mariah Jensen wanted to play a special song for Courtney at her gravesite in hopes that it would help bring her peace. Mariah and a few of her friends helped her out. It was a very windy day, but we are sure that Courtney heard it and felt peace.
Mariah has been attending tennis lessons all summer. She is really liking that great sport!
These are just pictures that I took on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. This boy is earning his keep!
The kids woke up very early Sunday morning to surprise Dave for Father's Day. When he walked out at 6:15 this is what was sitting at the table for him to eat before he headed to church meetings. I don't think anything could have made him more happy!
Cado had his birthday while we were at girls camp so we celebrated it a little late. He was o.k. with that because he already knew what his presents were and he had ordered them himself.
Our PVC pipes have been one of the first and best toys ever created for our kids. They have used them for the past 21 years. Over time we have lost a lot of them and the supply was very low. The kids have asked us for years to get more pipes! Well we finally bought another 15 long pipes and the boys cut them up and we bought lots of connectors and as you can tell...everyone is happy building again!
This year I was the official photographer for Girls Camp (since Carrie decided to go to the Summer Games instead!) It was a big job, but someone had to be responsible for documenting all the fun that goes on each year for this traditional event!
