Sixteen

Andrea turned 16 on Saturday! One of her favorite gifts are flowers, so she enjoyed being able to get pictures with 16 long stem roses.

Happy sweet sixteen to my extra sweet princess. Daddy and I love you very much!

Mark

In Colorado we spend time exploring and visiting relatives. We also spend a lot of time working. This year Mark helped paint the house and pulled a lot of cactus!

After working all morning, Mark was still enjoying being outside and working hard!

Releasing Butterflies

Audrey and Megan had fun releasing eight Monarchs this evening. We still have some chrysalises and a few caterpillars, but this year’s Monarch season is almost finished for Audrey.

Colorado Evening

This is the driveway to “Grandma’s house” one beautiful evening.

Megan’s Lunch Special

The neighbors gave the kids a bunch of windfall apples to make applesauce with.

It sounded like Audrey discovered a worm and asked Megan if she wanted it sauteed in onions. Megan love the idea and wrote our lunch menu for today.

Relaxing outside and watching the hummingbirds is a favorite activity of mine. For most of this summer, we have not had many birds visit. I suspect a neighbor’s feeder is preferred! However, yesterday we had a lot of migrating hummers stop at our feeder.

Bouquet

Megan brought me a beautiful wild flower bouquet. Andrea taught her how to tie a grass bow around it to make it even prettier.

Roses

This morning when I got up, I discovered Allan had gone out already and brought home two dozen roses in my favorite colors; deep pink and orange with pink trim. They are so pretty and I feel so spoiled!
