Soaking up the Sun

There is no rhyme or reason to the pictures that are to follow. This weekend was the first weekend when all five of us were not sick with some sort of illness, and the weather was absolutely gorgeous...so we had a lot of outside time. There is also a video somewhere in the mix of things!Tom and I warming up before practice. Didn't realize how fat I look from that angle...hum, must work on that!

Isabella in the front yard. We needed a breath of fresh air. I think she put on her angry eyes for this shot! I love this flower. It is in the backyard, and (obviously) the blooms look like hearts!
Carly and Abby in the jacuzzi. Don't worry, it was only 87*. I think some pools in Arizona are hotter than the jacuzzi was!

More practice. Niki squared = Pitcher & Catcher! Our pitchers name is Niki too. Our sporty colors are green and white. woohoo! I think my designated name is Mrs. Turtle. Tom is Turtle.
Carly and Abby at the Granville park...pre-mud

See, boys are not the only kids that like to play in mud. Had I let them, they would have bathed in the mud. I did make them take off their shorts during the drive home! You can't tell from the video, but Carly is equally muddy...she was the first one to fall.

Abby...I love this picture :)
Carly, the biggest Werner baby

So, a little bit about this photo...

There is a museum next to our library. I have always wanted to visit, but it seems to be closed every time we are there. Well, I wanted to take photo's on this particular day. Carly held the baby's hand and followed behind Abby and I. Abby & I walked up to the front...then Abby says..."there's a note on the door". It read, "Don't use doorbell, knock loud". Um, oops, it is someones house! I was seconds away from having the girls sit on their patio furniture and take pictures!!!!

Sometimes I forget that she can't have ice-cream. Yeah, I pay for that every time.

I was not prepared to take photo's of myself...but if someone offers, I hate to turn it down!

Cookin' up smores after a great BBQ with Jenny, Rob, Nathan and Nicholas. (Henry & Peg, not in the photo)

Isabella playing with bubbles... OK, she was eating them, I was blowing them.


Flowers on the OSU campus...and for some reason the school is having them removed. The better be putting in some other form of color and beauty!
