Big Girl Hugs

Aunts

Here is Lindsay with her new nephew! She was in the process of bringing the little guy's face up next to her's so I could get an awesome photo, when his little head fell forward. He was fine - he didn't even wake up, but poor Lindsay...

My niece had been on my back. In a daring, acrobatic move I flipped her around to precariously balance on my hip. She's a trusting little stinker!

Not the Money Maker!

On Father's day, in what appeared to be a freak hacky-sack accident, a young Velma man slammed his face into his own car. It still remains unclear as to what sustained the most damage - the car or Zack's nose!

Happy Papa's Day!

Dad and his kids.

Convergence

Scott and Dad lounging on the party raft. Zack who had been out in the kayak, caught a ride back with Shay in the sailboat. Lazy bones kinda day.

Painting at Mama Lou's

Piper's oldest painting me a birthday picture. Mom always gets out the paints for any kid that comes over - it's just her thing.

Martha Stewart Living (in Oklahoma)

Although, these pics are more like a spoof on Martha Stewart, I have always loved her picnic and dinner party ideas. Note the bricks holding the table cloth down - that was my own idea (well okay, it was Mom's). The Oklahoma wind later blew the tent into some of our windows.

See, everyone is happy and beautiful just like in Martha's magazine! And check out that volleyball net.
