Dare I Say.....It's Beginning to Feel Like Summer??

After my previous ranting post, I decided to mellow out a little for this one. I actually don't have much to say other than I'm glad it's summer. We've begun doing all those fun summertime things I imagined we would do once we had kids. Including....

The blowup pool in the backyard. Never mind the fact that I am larger than the pool. We had fun, all right?!?

We went for a hike up a small canyon above our house. Lucy was happy as a clam in our baby carrier.

The spring run-off was crazy.

Lucy has decided she is a child of the earth. She wants to be outside all day everyday. In fact she throws mini tantrums every time I try to carry her inside. She is content to sit and play in the dirt for long periods of time.

In other news: My sister-in-law, Erin, and her kids are in town from Minnesota for three weeks. We're already having a great time. Lucy thinks she's won the lottery having other kids around. She just sits and watches them run around her.

Other kids?? What??

Making cupcakes.

One happy grandma.
