June 2009

June has flown by! Here is a look at the things that we have been up to in the past 3 weeks!

Our new 'sitting spot' in the corner of the backyard. That is our new garden that we just added to the yard with plants that I dug up from my grandma's yard in Louisiana.
We made a cake for Michael's 39th birthday. It was only fitting, being that he is in the car business that he have a car cake. Well, I now know why grocery stores have bakeries and I also know that I will never qualify for a job in one! Those are decorations around the column and the chair...we don't normally have crepe paper streamers taped all over the house. Ben did the decorating!
This was daddy's idea and the yard got watered at the same time!

We have hit the pool every weekday for the past 3 weeks. Padraig and Ben are having fun trying to stay cool!
Our new garden again. My grandma had some odd plants growing in her yard..one looks like a poinsettia and one looks like a hydrangea...I am sure they will take over my yard, but who cares! They are back in the corner in the shade by the cannas and daylilly that you can't really see.

We painted pottery (or a platter for daddy's pocket stuff) for daddy for Father's Day. It was fun...but mommy had to finish it. That is Ben's hand though and daddy loves it!

There is a blueberry patch near my friend's house, so we took the kids and picked for an hour...and that is our bucket full. Ben is wearing his new tie dyed shirt that we made with our friends the day before.
Wow...Ben and I love our huge sunflowers. Daddy, not so much. Sporting yet another tie dyed shirt. It kinda goes with the long, hippie hair.

Ben looks so much older!! It must be his hair or something :) Glad you are having a great summer vacation. I too love your sunflowers (one of my favorites!). Any job news??
