Brother and Sisters visit

We've had some very relaxing weeks around here. I don't have another birth scheduled till August. Jon is at a wilderness camp for 3 weeks, Monica was gone to Calif for 2 weeks.

My sister Jeannie and brother Jim came up from Colorado for a week. We had a great time hanging out, eating and talking.

Picnic lunch
The kids were hot from hiking around, so they all decided to put their heads in the water and cool off.
We got to the park and started the BBQ right away, starving kids!

catch up

My Computer had to be fixed. So I sent it off to Michael. It is finally back and working great!

I had a very busy April and May with births, so it's nice to have some time to catch my breath. Looks like a slow summer, hoping to do some camping and short trips, just having family fun.

This is Monica's cactus. It blooms so nice every year.
Our swimming pool, up and ready to use if it would just get warm enough.
This is Frisky is the grass. It's very nice and green around here right now.
My container garden. I have these on my back porch. So far nothing much is growing. I do not have a green thumb.

Our new shower. The tile came out beautiful.
Jon, who still loves taking pictures of himself. I thought this was a nice one.
Jon again who when he is home, can usually be found right here.

My new garden fence. This was part of trade for a birth. I actually had 2 trades going on at the same time. This one guy cleaned up down trees, moved the garden fence, fixed all sort of little things. It was wonderful. The other one was the labor on the bathroom. He's doing a beautiful job.
