Vacation Funny

I was visiting with my best friend, and her 4 year-old son said, "You need to come to our house because we have...CHEESE!"

He's a keeper.

Happy Trails!

We are leaving for our road trip tomorrow. I don't know the exact date of our return.

We will be in Wyoming and Montana for about 3 weeks.

I'll write when I return.

My Sister, Jenni

She's here! I can have coffee this morning with her. It will be a glorious morning. Well, when she wakes up, that is...she's all tuckered out from traveling yesterday and waking with my baby a few times in the night. She insisted...really. I love her.

The girls keep wondering how she can be my little sister if she's taller than me. They are just loving "the girl that Mommy brought home" as Hannah says.

Birthday Photos

The birthday party went very well and the girls even got a swimming party. We didn't get home until after 9pm. It was a great day for Sarah and the rest of us, too.

July 9th is Sarah's Day

Sarah is our lover of birthdays...it doesn't matter whose it is, she just wants to be a part of it.
Sarah shows so much promise to be a warrior for God's Kingdom. She is determined, smart, and has a great sense of humor. I love to see her sweet smile. Oftentimes lately she is pushing someone's buttons to see how loud they can yell, but I can see that she is just trying to make a place for herself in the group. It must be hard being the third one in the bunch. I wouldn't know, since I'm the oldest. She's pretty tough and outspoken; Being cute is just natural for her.

Cake and Ice cream at noon--our house!

The Cake

Here is an advance view of the cake. I made it ahead of time so that I wouldn't be stressed out about it tomorrow. Turns out that it was a good thing since the party is at noon.

Old Faithful

You can enjoy the wonder of Old Faithful from the comfort of your own computer chair!

Old Faithful Geyser WebCam - Yellowstone National Park

If you are reading this post after dark, you won't see anything since there are no lights on the geyser.

As I was watching this webcam, I remembered going here as a kid and being so in awe of this...for about 5 minutes...then you have to wait a LONG time for it to erupt again. It's fun now to keep watching the screen refresh and watch how many people gather around the predicted eruption.

ESP Mommy

I was trying to communicate to the girls that asking for food an hour after dinner is frustrating for me. I said to Hannah, "You girls have got to stop asking for food right after dinner."

Hannah replied, "Okay, Mommy. Maybe you should just know that we want food after dinner."
