Good Bye July

 

 We had a wonderful July and are enjoying a very nice summer.  Joshua turned 16 and is now driving!  August 3rd was our first day of school.

 

Biking to the pond to go swimming is one of the best things to do on a hot  summer day.
 

 

 

 

"Would anyone like some mint?"
We enjoy making fresh mint tea. You can always tell who makes it by the sugar content. 

 

 

 

We went hiking to the pond behind our house.

 

 

 We have been going on a 10 mile bike ride almost every night.

 I took my camera  to take some scenery pictures!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Canning keeps us busy, but is a very nice treat in the winter.

 

 Kaitlyn came in to surprise mommy for her birthday.

 

 Awesome Uncle Butch and Aunt Miriam decorated the yard with balloons and birthday signs one day while we were gone!

 

      A little girl I babysat. She was so cute!

 

 The prettiest blue eyes.  

 

 Benjamin was my little helper feeding her.

 

Something very wonderful happened in July.  My sweet sister Hope got baptized.
