29 & 30

My wonderful older sister, Rachel, just turned 30!! I love the picture, Rachel!

Three days later, that makes me 29!

Today Jason took me to BD's Mongolian BBQ to celebrate my 29th b-day! We got a free birthday stir-fry and chocolate sundae.












Sorry for the sideways pictures. I didn't have time to turn them around.













I'll have more celebrations tomorrow at Gull Lake with my wonderful family!

Here are a few more pictures from music camp. Each day I was so busy that I forgot to take pictures while the kids were there!

Softball, Brock, and Music Camp

Jason has been playing on the church softball league. He made a great double play on third base last Thursday.

The Godfreys came for a quick stay on Friday night. It is always so fun to see them. My flash was so bright that Brock would squint right before I took the pictures!

Rebekah can always pick out better clothes for me than I can! She got a great deal on these Express pants.

Music Camp starts tomorrow! We moved the furniture and set up the overhead projector.

Guess we have to show you a picture of our pea pods, cucumber & squash! We have been eating pea pods and beans every day from the garden! Jason picked his own vegetables for the stir-fry.

We also saw this critter on our back step. My piano student saw it. Thank goodness it's gone now! Does anyone know what it is????

Saturday Mornings...

What's better than sleeping in and going out for donuts?

Picking your own raspberries, of course! It's all-you-can-(EAT)-pick at Blake's farm in Almont. We had a lot of fun seeing the Whites and their 2 cool kids. Matt was going to drive us home but his parents decided he'd better have a nap instead.

Guess what this pile of rubbish is going to be?

STARBUCKS in LAPEER!

Jason's already waiting in line....

I'm getting a little more creative with veggies! Look at this stir-fry, Rach & Matt. I even have bean sprouts and pea pods.

VEGGIES!

I don't know why we're so fascinated with growing veggies, but we're having a blast talking about our jungle. We actually ate about 10 pea pods today!

I'm pretty naive, but I never knew peas had beautiful, white flowers! This crazy bear picture was taken by Jason on I75. I think we saw about 20 venders (from hotdogs to silly rides) heading north to the Lake City 4th of July parade!
