Summer Fun!



Gabi and Joe set out to climb Windy Ridge...the "mountain" that we look at out our window everyday.  The night before, Joe told her that they would have to get up early the next morning in order to beat the heat of the day.  Gabi was so excited that she showed up in our bedroom dressed and ready to go around 5:45 (she usually wakes up around 7-7:30).  It took them around 4 hours and Joe said Gabi talked his ear off the entire way.  She was very proud of herself for making it all the way to the top!
Made it to the top!  She waved to us (but we couldn't see her from the house).

 
 
Here she is back at home with a well-deserved popsicle and her accomplishment in the background!! :)

 
 
The girls and I got to ride in the swather with Papa Don when he was doing the hay field closest to our house.  We had a great time learning how it works and just enjoying the ride.  Grandma Phyllis had a fun time watching baby Jacob and teaching him how to kick his blankets off. :)


 
Here are a few random pictures from around the house. :)


Gabi's "throne" that she built for me while I was holding Jacob.  Joe had to try it out as well.

 
Gabs really wanted me to take a picture of her hairstyle one morning.
 
 
This is a picture of a card Maya made Joe for his birthday.  Joe, the vampire pig. :)  hee hee.
 

 
 
I've been trying out my new camera lens, but it seems like my hands are always full (I wonder why!?) so it has been hard to take a lot of pictures.  I'm amazed by the clearness of the pictures.  Here is a sleepy Maya after she woke up one morning. :)

 At last, but not least, here are some pictures of Jacob.  He is a chill, smiley little bug and we just love him so much.  He is getting so big, especially length-wise.


How you doin'?
Love, Tara
