Look what we got in the mail!

Wouldn't you love to have this sweet, sweet baby delivered to your doorstep?

I think the look Dani has on her face is the one that everyone says makes her look the most like Merrill! It's that "you've been talking too much" look.

Aren't our girls beautiful!

Peaches

Mom and I have been canning peaches these last 2 days. If you're thinking I'm a "Becky-Homecky", think again. If I didn't have my mom, I don't think I'd even attempt all this canning. She works her tail off here!

WHY ME?

Nick has NEVER been too fond of sitting to get a haircut. As a matter of fact, he thinks that I'm a little too rough on him, just because he's my kid. Huh??? Would I even think of doing such a thing? He even went so far as to say that I should pretend he was the President of the United States, so I would be more gentle. Hmmmmm....

Here he is showing his fondness.

Here's the finished product. I don't know where he gets being so animated-smirk, smirk...what a goof ball.

Ummmm-ummmm-good!

BROWNIES!!!!!!!! YUMMMMM............

Confessions of a gum chewer.

FYI-Don't ever throw your gum on the ground in front of Kelly McC. Zowweee-I got a slight verbal lashing.....she even accused me of NOT taking my grocery cart back after I unload my groceries to my car! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT???? And to all you goodie-2-shoes out there? Can YOU say you don't throw your gum out? NOT EVEN FROM A MOVING VEHICLE? OK, so it wasn't the "wisest" thing I've ever done, and I know what I'll do next time........NEXT TIME I'LL MAKE SURE KELLY'S NOT AROUND. Just kidding......I will put it in a tissue, I promise.

And sorry for packing all my blogs into one day.....I have to do it when I have the time, which is when the little ones are sleeping.

Michindoh

I HAD to take some pictures of one of our favorite days of the year, the church picnic. I don't think we've EVER missed a year. I can even remember walking those treacherous steps when I was about to have Alli! Sorry for those who saw me in the bikini that year! Just kidding....

This year's weather was not the best, but I wouldn't want to miss it anyway. I usually get to visit with people that I would not get to visit with or sometimes I just get to talk to the same people that come every year. It's nice to be able to just walk around and talk. It seems that even at church, we're all headed home or to lunch, and we're in a hurry.

Here's Alli with her cousin, Kimmy.

Katie, Caleb, and Grace, playing in the fire-twuck.

Micah and Katie-too bad they don't have 2 steering wheels in our van! It would save me from telling Merrill how to drive.

"Gracie" and Katie.

Alli and Dani-you can see by blanket, it was a bit chilly.

I didn't get any pictures of Gabe and Nick going down the water slide. Maybe next year!

She Went to Camp!

And she's already back! With Alli being gone, I couldn't find time to post! Pathetic, eh? Anyway, here she is with her good friend Emma, and little sister that had to get in the picture. The girls ended up in a "room"-kind of like a dorm room, all by themselves. They got pretty lucky, this year. Both the girls were impressed with the camp-they were kept very busy and both girls said they'd like to come back next year.



Ok, and THESE pictures are what you get when you give a camera to a very mischievious, dimented, doctor guy...and you're welcome Kelly, for not putting in the picture of your tooshee, I'm not saying it wasn't BLOG worthy.....




Strange, very strange...
