Girls Rule

Wednesday was Comforter Day at the dry cleaners. Mom remembered it at 6:50pm and the store closed at 7pm so we made a mad dash for them.It's safe to say we don't share the same style around here. We bought these shoes recently.. looks like Mom is headed on a rafting trip & Kait to a cocktail party.

Anna just finished up a 2 week internship at the hospital. We heard things like, "Oh Dad! I forgot one highlight of my day.. I got to touch a placenta!" She and Dad were carpool buddies.Mom has turned into a professional Japanese Beatle catcher. She carries around a Tupperware full of oil and dead beatles and catches them on trees and other plants.

Let The Countdown Begin

In one month we will be on vacation.

Burn Baby, Burn

Anna, thank you for your help and servant's heart. However, there's been a unanimous decision that it's better for you to use your gifts elsewhere. We're sorry that you've inherited Mom's "cooking by smell" trait. None of us were big fans of the broccoli on Sunday. We could've just licked an ash tray. Ben saved the day with green beans!

Won't You Be My Neighbor?

Sometimes life is hard and you have to learn to roll with it. Kait just finished up a 10 day house sitting job on the lake... tough at times for sure. There are questions like, "Which TV should I watch today?" or "Should I swim or kayak first?" Her house mate was AbbeyA group got together for dinner on Saturday. Check out the plate: a honker of a burger, brat, Greek potatoes, broccoli salad.

We also made key lime pie ice cream. Kent officially announced that it was his and Kait's "speciality" Come on over and give it a try! The neighbors from up the road came and hung out on the dock on Sunday afternoon. They seemed pretty jealous of the place.

Told You So

Last night Dad fired up the grill to cook some steak. He said dinner was at 6:30 and as 6pm rolled around he started to feel the time crunch. The rest of the dinner party didn't quite feel the crunch as you can see from this video. Dr. Dad came in to tell us to get back on task, we had a deadline to meet!! We're not sure how Mom and Dad's marriage has survived her love for the Beach Boys, but somehow is has.

We became more efficient and dinner started right at 6:30. Dad's steaks were perfect. Just right. Beach-Boy-Lovin-Mom's chicken turned out a little differently. Guess he told you so.

Gloria a Dios

Our church has a led a vacation bible school for the past 4 years for children in a nearby town. Mom, Sara and Kait were tour group leaders. We butchered songs by trying to sing them in Spanish, but we were also able to love them and teach them about Jesus! Here is Sara with her group. They were big fans of the bunny ear pose.The excited group leader of tour bus 5!!Special thanks to Rachel C (also the professional cookie maker ) for being the photographer all week!

Nice Bifocals

We'd like to extend a "Happy Father's Day" to our Pops. We enjoyed a nice lunch together and watched Dad open presents and try to see through his new bifocals. Bifocals = old people.

Oliver paid attention to the man of the hour, his Grandpops. We love you Dad! Happy Father's Day.
