 Natalie left her shirt here, it now has a new owner. :)
 It will help Lauren not miss her some much. I told Natalie that Lauren cries for days after she leaves. So Natalie gave her a big hug when she was leaving and tried to pre-squeeze out all tears. It did work for a few hours, but we've definitely had some tears. We will miss our Natalie!

 31 weeks. Emma 31 months.

 Sister Squish.

Starving at Grandma Pate's. We were also being cooked! It was sooooo hot! Emma made us sandwiches. They were a bit dry.

 MY niece, Bat Baby!

 Cleaning out the shop, and having a bonfire.

 Barry took James's fishing. So I took the girls out for shakes and hamburgers. Lauren is not possessed.

 Barry finally has a small break from school, so we've been taking advantage of the days and getting some stuff done. We woke up early one morning and went to a strawberry farm nearby and picked 6 gallons of strawberries. They were the best strawberries EVER! They tasted so good. I ate so many while making the jam. These are my helpers.

 The next day we went down to the CSI Fish Hatchery. It's down this little canyon. It's in an awesome location. A few years ago, I noticed a huge cherry tree out from of the little caretakers house. It has the best cherries, and no worms!

 The tree. We picked probably 20 lbs of cherries.
I probably ate this many by myself.

 My friend came over to learn the secret of making freezer jam. Her daughter and Emmie are friends. They had fun playing princesses.

 Play croquet at Grandma's house. I took these from the safety of the window. That game looked dangerous. ;)

 Barry made us a new path in the backyard, it was a lot of work.

Then he took Lauren off on a secret trip, (I was looking all over for them) and they got railroad ties to build a sandbox. The kids are excited for that to be completed.



My beautiful Grandma passed away this month. I will miss her dearly.  I think Ellie looks quite a bit like her.
