Beautiful Girl

Kasey loves to draw and wants to be an artist when she grows up. I love this girl. This was a day I let her stay home with me. We had fun.

Brave Anna

This was from the same day we stopped in Highland Park. The cicadas were everywhere.
She wanted to take it home, I said No!!!!

Cicadas

If you listen close, you can hear the cicadas in the background!!
I can't believe I figured this out!!

Papa

happy fathers day

i'm a dork, i know.

but i do miss you papa and i hope you have a wonderful fathers day. you deserve a full day of sitting on the deck, eating steak, drinking red wine and smoking cigars. :-) love you!

I finally got the kids to sleep by themselves, through the night. In the morning I was telling Jake how proud I was of him. I told him I was going to call Nana and tell her. He said to call Brian and tell him too, and tell everyone who lives in that house. I guess because of Christmas, he thinks that they live there too. Why wouldn't he? Those big blue eyes were bouncing!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RACH

Happy Birthday to my BEAUTY-FULL sister. Hope you had a fabulous day and that Jason treated you like the queen you are! LOVE YOU!

My delightful Allie

Can my girl pose or what! She's way cooler than me!

Let's GO WHiTe SoX!!

It was a fun night. The SoX lost ;( and we were late (thanks to me)... but it was really nice to be there and with my wonderful parents.

Kids and Sports

Jakers didn't like soccer so now he's trying T-ball. He likes hitting the ball, but just walked off the field today. It was too hot. His father is the coach so he will be in the video I post next.

Fun times

we had a wonderful time with Rachel and Anna Lynn. We went to our pool a couple times, the beach, shoppin a little, and spent lots of time with Grandma. Be sure to keep Grandma Holper in your prayers, she is in the hospital again. She's doing better already but went in because of trouble breathing and a fever. She thinks she'll be out by Monday.
