Catching up June

I got so behind posting little happenings and just lovely shots around the yard for the month of June that I am just going to put random pictures together in one big post! These are some things we just don't want to forget in the years to come...

Jacob's last art project for the year 2010 - a lovely watercolor landscape

Flowers in the front entry

Our "water fountain turned planter" full of sweet little blooms

Danny finally, after hours of shopping around and making phone calls, found the right product to seal and color boost our deck! It looks so much better now, and will be stain resistant (at least the part that's finished! haha) That's okay dear, I know that you will finish it some day!!

Beautiful red rose bush that has followed us around in each of the last three homes we lived in. I shall never be able to part with this bush!

Flower arrangements and favors made for the last Pastor's College

Ladies Day Out

Danny brought home this fun machine from work so that he could get some jobs done around the house. Well, the boys have claimed it as their vehicle to shoot their airsoft guns from. Ryan set targets up all over the yard and they drive around and shoot at them. What a blast! Makes us wish we had 20 acres and ATV's for the boys to get out and roam in!

Danny and Hannah's Special Night

Recently Danny and Hannah went out to a very special dinner at Dutch's Daughter (the best seafood restaurant for miles) and then went to a movie. They both love these special times... I couldn't resist getting some shots of them out by the beautiful hydrangea's that match Hannah's dress and Danny's eyes!!

I love this sweet smile of Hannah's... it is one of my favorite things about her, that sweet and gentle, loving smile.

WHY I DON'T LIKE TUBING

These videos say it all. The first one is Hannah taking a spill and the second is Jacob... as a "wimpy" mom, this kind of stuff makes me weak in the knees...

Deep Creek Lake 2010

This year we rented a very lovely home right on the waterfront, giving us beautiful, peaceful views. So far we have had a lot of rain - but the rest of the week is looking up! The kids have already done some tubing!

The first day here we saw this sweet little family of geese. But with geese come little gifts that aren't so sweet... so Jacob decided that he needed to "persuade" them to move on to another part of the lake. Let's just say that geese don't like green laser lights!

Even Matt and Sherry got in on the action!

After driving the boat all afternoon Dad thought it was time to do a little something for himself... aaahhhh

With all the rain we have had so far, finding a corner to read has been a favorite of the adult population. Well, most of us...

More to come later in the week!!! Thank you Hannah for being our family photographer! Keep up the good work sweetie! I look forward to some more great shots!
