Mommy and Elyse are twins

Elyse was so excited that mommy was wearing the same outfit as her. She calls it "being twinkies."

Picnic and Animals

We enjoy being outside when we can find some shade in this 100 degree heat. Lake Ella has great shade for a picnic and the kids enjoy looking at the animals.

Always a teacher...

I must find "crafts", books, lessons for the kids to do or we all go crazy in the house this summer. So this was a painting adventure. Of course we had to do it outside. It turned out to be a success. The kids want to do it again but mom is always hesitant.

T-ball.....Toddlers at Play

This is one of my favorite times of the day. Dinner is done, lunches are done, etc and we get to come outside and play in the yard. I love watching my kids run around with each other and greet other neighbors walking their children or dogs. It is precious.

More popsicle on the clothes than in our mouths

The kids got to buy ice cream from the ice cream truck for the first time. I loved this as a kid. I didn't even know this business was still popular anymore. But they must make good money for $2 and $3 a pop. What a great business venture. Anyone interested?

Chomping down on some corn

Elyse wanted a bite of my corn on the cob and she went to town. She ate the whole thing by herself. Yum Yum.

Easter afternoon at butter's and grandaddy's
