Siri says it's coming...! :)

Andy saved for months for the VW bus camper.

He and Julie built it together.

Johnny has been working and saving this summer too...! ;)

If you see these, by them, and eat them immediately!

The neighborhood is really growing all of a sudden…

We welcomed a new house to the neighborhood this week.

Daisy's falling right off her rug.

Tough life, sleeping so much you fall over!

Before. Check back in a year or two.

Nice picture of Johnny too.

And so begins Johnny's journey with braces, Invisalign actually...

I guess part of it is an attempt to make his mouth even bigger!? ;)

Johnny gets to practice a PVC joint.

How else can you get extra coupons ?!

Part of Andy's bounty from his summer job.

The Lego Mini Cooper set. Complete with a picnic setting in boot. ;)

The start of our neighborhood, homeschool bonfire last night.

First we played with the chickens.

The boys and I burned some energy at the local gym, yesterday.

Thanks to Andy, we had a mini fire and s'more leftovers this week! :) Nice treat.

And the rain didn't even slow us down.

A nice place to chill

I took the boys for their first game of golf this weekend...

Quite a range of emotions. The best part was that I won. :) We went with my college buddy. He took the loss the hardest. Haha.

Is it a triple date if two sets of parents have to go along to supervise!? Haha

Oh boy! Or girl rather...!

Fun out with friends this las weekend.

It's amazing what creativity a little paper and a few colored pencils sparks.

1,000,000 Scoville. Didn't even quench the heat with anything.

Ghost pepper challenge! Chewed it up and swallowed that beast. Only took 12 minutes to "get over it". :)
Andy did it with me. Ian's next!

Still smiling. Nice little endorphin happy feeling.

Johnny learned about fixing a broken/missing linkage bolt tonight...

Hoop-X. An old Kris's-Kross game from my parent's childhood.

It was a big hit at the reunion.

We had a great reunion this weekend. You can click the link to see all the pictures.

Here's the link to see mine and the ones our boat captain, Joan, took: https://www.flickr.com/photos/dwbarton/sets/72157656559045968

What a great night for camping last night!

What a great way to spend some of my day!

Fun with the family today! ;)

They sang the birthday song to me, but then Cody stole my hat! :)

Johnny's at it for his last class.

The boys are engrossed!

I think they read comics all night. Haha

My mom knows EXACTLY the way to MY heart. :)

Thanks mom, you always demonstrate your love so well!

Johnny's proved himself competent as a shooter.

You never know what you might find while moving logs around in the yard

Not to be outdone by his mother, Andy captured another garter snake.

Andy made up a game called "Pool"

It's played like Pig or Horse but you set up pool shots instead of basketball.

He and I had fun playing it, before bed, last night.

Johnny's excited to be in the big leagues now. ;)

He did great in his first night of shooting with Julie and I in our competitive league. He outshot several adults and ran the course as fast as me even though he had to do extra mag changes... :)

Proud parents! :)

Happy birthday to me!

The best part, Julie is as excited about it as I am. Next up, tests with our rifles.

The boys and their cousins had an idea...

Farm pond body surfing...

Good end to a day of perfect weather

Andy's work is drawing to a close for the season

Andy supervised the Once in a Blue Moon festival last night

It was a little late, but we finally confirmed the existence of Julie's brain...

We were practicing some mass casualty scenarios this week... ;)

Nothing like a homegrown/homemade lunch on the back porch with friends.

What a turbulent sky, last night!

I think we finally have a pond. ;)

Andy's Big Box Lego Contest entry :)

Boston milkshake. A new one by me.

Sundae on the top half, shake on the bottom.

Don't forget this who have served and have brought back wounds with which they continue to struggle...

I like the red farm house peeking out between the trees

Just out for a little walk last weekend
