Our own backyard from the day this spring when we walked around to the side of the house and this is what we found!! Goodness, there were so many of them, that Hubby had to spray 3 times before they all went away!

Wordless Wednesday ~Cousins

A few weeks ago we got to visit my brother and his family for a day of swimming and hanging out with Grandma.

2010-08-21 009 My brother has 4 girls, age 11, 10, 7 and 3! Here is my Angel with her cousin K she is closest to her age, the 7 year old.

Being the only boy doesn’t deter my son at all. He just finds games to play with them, like step over the girls while they are laying in the sun!

2010-08-21 028 My brother with his 2 middle girls, K age 7 and P age 10!

In My Neighborhood Tuesday ~Water

This weeks assignment for In My Neighborhood Tuesday was water.

Living as close to the Rocky Mountains as I do, water often means rivers here. This is from a vacation we took to Estes Park in September of 2008. We stayed in these cute, if not somewhat rustic, cabins called Loveland Heights Cottages. All of their cabins are either hanging over the Big Thompson River or extremely close.

You can see below that from the back deck of our cabin we were about 3 yards away from the river! It was pretty cool to hear that water rushing by as you are drifting off to sleep!
