Mom and Dad are having a big party on the 4th. AND the newest Twilight Movie is out — soooo, the girls and I came home for the week 
The girls love the pool! The deck is coming along great. Mom picked up another umbrella last night, so we have plenty of shade today!
Abby swore she needed some goggles. So I bought them the best 2 pair $1.25 could get me They actually have nicer ones back in stl that I didn’t bring :/
Enjoy your day! We are!!
We haven’t seen Michelle in quite a while! It was great to catch up this morning!
Yes, I know that caused you to GOL (Gasp Out Loud)!! Sigh, Oh well, they had tons of fun. Clothes wash
Abby and Hannah really love the back yard. They run and swing and chase and play kickball! Just an all around great time! Be sure to look carefully at the pics below! At first Abby attempts to run and kick the ball. Her foot gets stuck on top and she totally wipes out! She does get up and give it another try — and boots the thing right over the fence!! LOL!!!
This is what my pretty roses SHOULD look like
THIS is what I got 
I’ll be taking care of this tomorrow!! It just kinda makes your stomach turn doesn’t it!
It really looked like it was about to get crazy outside. But… Nothing! Not one drop!!
We met Maddie and all of her family and friends in Forest Park this morning to celebrate HER and what a blessing she is in all of our lives! We are fortunate to know her very well — but even people that have only met her once can quickly see what an exceptional little girl she is. Step Up for Down Syndrome is the DSAGSL’s largest awareness event. It is always such a moving day! It seems to get bigger and bigger every year! This year, not only was it moving… it was HOT. REALLY HOT! So please excuse the sweat running off of our faces and drenching our clothes!! LOL We had a great morning! Enjoy the pictures! We love you Madison! Thank you for including us in your day!!

Now this is love!
Hannah tie dyed her shirt with a popsicle!
Chris and Jamey grabbed us all some hot dogs. I told them to smile. One of them said to the other, “it’s a 110 degrees outside and she just asked us to smile” LOL
Abby jumped in for a quick pic with Kelly
Awww, Is this gonna be trouble or what!?!
And Hannah wanted some Kelly time too!
Want to see all of the pictures? Let’s see if this works!
We have a wabbit!!! Well, a small bunny to be exact. But he is doing some BIG damage!!!
This pot used to be on the ground. I sat it on the table and it is starting to recover. we finally got another bloom! Sigh…
On a brighter note he can’t reach the hibiscus! It greets us with a new bloom nearly every day!
I did it! I did it!!!! We may actually get a pepper!!!!
Abby had been playing in the water all day. I love her pony tail. Reminds me of Nellie Olsen!
I bought this shirt last year. She wore it as a dress!!! When exactly did she grow so tall????
Olivia, Eric and Noah came for a visit. It is crazy how being so sick can get you a house full of people all week!!! Who knew?? We had a great visit! But during the visit Olivia remembered that she might have missed my birthday. Now, this is only slightly funny because a couple years back – TWO YEARS IN A ROW. Nearly ALL of my friends forgot to call on my birthday. One of those years Olivia was the only one that remembered to call. Soooo, I suppose she can get a pass 
But I was once again surprised by the fantastic people in my life when the doorbell rang and I had a delivery! A yummy bouquet!
With a super cute note:
You guessed it! The girls and I had some fruit for lunch! Thanks Liv!!!
