Other random pics

.Ok, I have the kids playing Life (Ash's favorite game). Wait, she asked me to call her Ashley - she doesn't like Ash anymore.
Ellie with a kitty she wants to adopt from Miss Celeste's house (I am getting sewing lessons!!!)
Me driving a car (is ok to work, keep it in its place).
A gorgeous German Pancake we had one day.
And fluffy slime that Michael and I made one day. (I like how it really looks like it is in action).

Other fruit stuff

Check out this haul from Sprouts!!! All I need in the summer is fruit and Cheerios  (maybe some cheese). All for $45. Go summer!! Also we took in the Black's hen-pecked hen (Glimmer) and, now recovered, lays eggs like these! Huge and very oval. Good job Glimmer!

Perfect morning

You know, I have about a month off when I am done with school and the kids are not. This is my perfect me time (although  I still have to get up and get them off). Anyway, one day I decided to make it a pretty morning and got everything set up. Tea, scriptures and me!

Jensen's sealing

Josh and Debbie Jensen, in our ward and current EQP and RS#1, got sealed !!! We went to their sealing and had ice cream after! Yum! Friends!

Ellie's foot

Right before school got out, Ellie stumbled on the way out of dance and into dad's car.
It was a bad strain. She didn't get to do the dance recital and had this on for two weeks. But she seems totally healed up and is perky again.

Family pics

Here are some picture of my Grandma Bluemlein, which Ashley got for a presentation on an ancestor. The baby is my Dad, Kenneth Melvin Bluemlein, and his parents Colleen and Melvin.

Romeo

Our little puppy (ok, dog) is quite delightful. We all love him - so here are some cute pictures of him around the house. And some before and after the trimming.

Heather came to play!

Yes, gentle reader, it is true. My sister Heather motored over to see us!!
It was a totally delightful day - complete with our usual trip to D.I and Wal-mart. Heather lead us in a marshmellow-in-the-mouth contest. It was hilarous. Come again seester!!

Happy birthday!

Yep, we have a teenager in the house!!!
Welcome Ellie to teen-age-dom.

She had a party with like 97 people (including BOYS!!). There were snacks, Karaoke, V.R. and lots of chatting. And many very generous gifts.

She is a great girl, working hard to do fun things with her life. LOVES reading and listening to music. We love you Ellie!

Ashley

Ashley has turned into a total pre-teen. She really wanted to dye her hair for crazy hair day so Dad got her some spray in dye. She then proceeding. to take 97 pictures of herself. I edited it down to one. Also her friend Natalie played the day it hailed (again).

Happy Fruit!

After FIVE years I am happy to announce.....our cherry trees have cherries!!
This year I took extra good care of them, even got some of the neighbor's blossoms and triple pollenated them. Some of them are beginning to turn slightly pink. Go cherries!!

Also the peaches are looking good and the plums are going crazy!! This is my fruit report.
