We are having a wonderful Christmas Eve. (well all of us except Ian) Kami, Kelly, Carolyn and I had our pedicures this morning. We had to take Kami's car with the chains on it to get to the nail place. Then we went to Border Books and out to lunch. Last we made it to Top Foods for our final food run. Now everyone is cooking up a storm in preparation for our feast. We are missing the Wellings and Shaun and Jenni's family.

A beautiful Saturday

Yesterday I had dad all to myself. We worked in the yard from 10 AM till 3:30 PM. We pruned a lot of bushes and mowed the lawn. Dad cleaned up the lawnmowers for winter hibernation. It was about 70 degrees. Dad was able to use many of his tools. We now have a blower that will blow me off my feet when I use it. I can blow spiders off the eaves of the roof. We also hooked our electric hedge trimmer to the big compressor that we bought for the next time the lights go out. I can trim those ferns in no time.

The other good thing about yesterday was the Women's conference. It is always nice to go and know that all the women I love are also viewing this while I am. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful family.

Luckily I had yesterday with dad, because today I haven't seen him. I at least know what he looks like.

Love to you all
MOM

4th of July

4th of July began with rain
So dad and Adam assembled my new
barbecue in the sewing room.











Kelly made a cute dress for Mackenzie out of care bear material.

Next they assembled my new ourdoor table which we were unable to use that day!











Spenser drooled and jumped his way through the day










Mackenzie loved her new outfit, but hated the fireworks












Adam and dad lit the flowers and a couple of piccolo pete's outside the window while we looked on from the comfort of the couch.











We all enjoyed rootbeer floats and went home happy.
