My Little Garden

The big, bad, tomato-eating bugs were moving in, so I covered my garden. 

Tomatoes, green beans, and sweet potatoes. 

I've never grown such lush vegetation before. The fertilizer really worked!

Green peppers, marigolds, chives and sweet potatoes. 

My harvest today! That is the fifth tomato of the season. Last year I had a harvest of four tomatoes all year, so I have already surpassed my record yield! Yay me!

It helps to have low expectations. :-)

The blueberries are from our new bushes.

Sunday Church

Lily in her Sunday School Class. Becky Sanders is her teacher. She had her pennies ready for offering safely stowed in a Baggie to prevent her chewing them. 

Anna in her Sunday School nursery with her teachers, Mrs. Woody and Mrs. Keane. 

Anna just now, saying, "Good morning!"

(Not literally - she can't say anything other than Da-Da and Ma-Ma) 

Navy Boat Dock

Grocery shopping is so much better with this cart!

Anna looks so cute asleep:

We pulled off a last-minute get-together at the Navy Boat Dock. It was so much fun!

Keith and Anna:

My gorgeous Anna:

Mom Bryan held Anna so I could swim:

Carlie held so unusually still that we had to document the moment:

Lily, Kylie, and me:

We had a picnic supper them played a couple minutes of sand volleyball. 

It was so much fun! That is a nice place. 

Tim and Becca

Anna is crawling a little. Her preferred method of locomotion is to sit, lunge, get on all fours, rock back and forth, lunge forward until she is on her belly, then sit again. She ends up in a different place in a round-about way. 

Tim and Becca came over last night for supper. We got to hear about deputation travels and survey trip adventures. 

TBC Graduation

Wednesday was TBC's Satellite School graduation. The children did a great job presenting the play.

Emily gradated from Kindergarten

Ashley and Mandy graduated from High School

Anna and Lily enjoyed playing with the balloons

That Girl!

You remember that cute picture I posted of Lily spraying the garden for me with the hose? Well...

This morning I was twining the sweet potato vines around the lattice, when Lily sprayed my backside with the hose! What did I do? You'd better believe I yelped because it was extremely unexpected, it was set on "jet" on the nozzle, and the water was hot from sitting in the hose in the sun!

That girl.

She will often go get her "blankie" and pillow at
random times and rest on the floor.

Lily was trying to take a picture with my phone
of her doll. Copying anyone she might know?
So I helped her get a picture.

James wanted to go play Catan last night at Dad and Mom Bryan's, so we invited ourselves over. Jason and Co. had arrived home from MI the night before so we got to have a mini cousin reunion too!

Lily is riding Kylie's horsey which is being led
by Alyssa. I guess they had to be careful
that the horse didn't run away with Lily!

Catan: Traders and Barbarians. We played
the last one in the book which is the most
complicated one to explain by far!
Becky won.

Anna was blowing raspberries and the cousins
joined in.

Left to right: Kylie, Gavin, Lily, and Alyssa
Faced by Anna who is leading the chorus.

Pictures of Life

I can't recall clearly what we did each day of this past week, but here are the pictures we took!

We wore out the girls - they were both
asleep when we arrived at church Wednesday.

I attended the TBC recitals Thursday and
snapped a picture of Anna in the nursery.

"Ah-boo, Anna!"

After Joel Smother's graduation in Fort Walton
Beach, we went to Sonic with Dad and
Mom Bryan.

We got our swing working again! It just
needed a new plug.
