Those hazy,crazy,lazy days of summer...

We had a wonderful time this past couple of weeks having the kids all home. It was GREAT! We were only all totally together for a day and a half but it was a fun filled day and a half!! Of course we took advantage of the opportunity to take a family picture. We number 20 now! Grandpa and Grandma wanted a picture with all their grandkids. It was quite an experience trying to get all the little ones looking at the camera. There was one that did not like picture day at all!

I always put too many pictures on at once --- but we had such a fun time I had to show a little of all of it!

We hope you all have a wonderful 4th of July!

We had Jackson in the car with us the other day when he saw a convertible. He was very excited and said the car was "AWESOME". He could hardly belief it when he found out Grandpa and Grandma had a car without a top! Of course we had to give him a ride. He was pretty excited, but kept asking why the car didn't have a top!

I love this flavor of pop so much, I decided to decorate with it!!

They stopped making this in Yakima and I contemplated giving up my pop habit. A couple of days ago we went to the Temple in Richland and afterwards we stopped at Albertsons for a drink. Much to my delight, they had Pepsi Jazz Caramel flavor! Hmm, is this a sign that I should keep drinking???
