Grampa's Garden

Tanner loves to hang out with my Dad in his garden. He's out there everynight unitl past dark. They've planted just about everything! I love to watch them together. Grampa is definitely Tanner's best buddy.

Flinder's Farewell

Our great friends, the Flinder's, are moving back to Colorado :-( We are so sad to see them go. Our boys loved to play with their boys Hayden & Benson and I totally got my baby girl fix from little Isabella. Marcus will miss his favorite basketball buddy. They are an awesome family. Madeline is super mom. I've learned so much from her and she's been an amazing example to me.

Windham Summerfest

I love living in our small little town of Windham, Maine. It's the town I grew up in, I graduated from, and now I raise my family here. The population is about 16,000 although it's seems way less because sometimes it feels like I know everyone around here. The North Windham Wal-Mart is the most happening place in all of Lakes Region. I swear you can't go there without seeing at least 4 people you know. The schools are great. There was only 120 people in my graduating class. I've never been to a place where I've felt a stronger sense of community. It's comforting.
Today was the Summerfest. We went to the fireworks show. Tanner was so excited for the show to start but once it started he screamed and shook and wanted to go home. We talked him into staying by telling him that a John Deere color firework was coming next. The grand finale put him over the edge. Besides that, it was fun. Caleb found a ton of his friends so he was off until the show started.

Oh, Deere.

I feel like my life has been taken over by John Deere! When I got home from Utah Marcus was sporting a new J.D. shirt and hat! What is my world coming to? I told him I bet he was the first asian to to buy a hat and shirt from the J.D. Store. Saturday my mom dropped off a J.D. Gator for the boys. They LOVELOVE it! They are so obsessed, Tanner won't eat a popsicle unless it's a John Deere color.

Dundee Park

Every summer we get a seasons pass to Dundee Park. It's the perfect place to cool off and it's only 2 miles down the street. Caleb wasn't able to really enjoy it because he sprained his ankle at the Skate Park on Monday.
Owwww.

Utah....

Caleb and I took a trip out to Utah to help Karinne and Danny settle into their new, beautiful, home! Karinne and I did alot of painting and shopping. But mostly painting. Please remind me NEVER to paint a wall red.
Caleb and I on the plane...

"Would you rather roll or crotch in?"



The primer for that dreadful red wall.

Caleb had a blast hanging out with his dad.

With the left over color from Karinne's hair I gave Brinley a few highlights! They came out so cute!

Is this the cutest girl in the whole world? I thought so.
