The girls decorated my birthday cake for me, it turned out quite pretty.

Phoebe's bad hair day

Need I say more.

I have been trying to take a field trip with the girls once a week. It can get busy with my school, but I want to enjoy the summer too. So, this time we went to a miniature animal farm. The girls loved it. They carried those poor animals around everywhere.

As you can see the girls love their new swing set. Ryan built it, and it is big. When the girls are done with it, I will have to put a hammock or something on it.

STRAWBERRIES

It is our third summer with our strawberry plants, and they have finally produced in a mass quantity. It is enough to make strawberry shortcake. We are very excited! They are even sending out flowers for another round. The girls loved picking the strawberries out of our own garden.

Easter

We went camping at the end of march.  The girls had a blast.  We took some hikes and they made a huge fire with Ryan.  They love getting dirty.
