A few weeks ago, DD spent about an hour playing with bubbles. She started out just blowing bubbles, having fun, watching them float away on the breeze.

A few bubbles were caught by a web which held her attention for a while.

The railing was wet with rain, so she experimented with sliding bubbles down the railing.

I experimented with catching reflections and color on the bubbles.

She found out she could blow a bubble inside another bubble.


Later, she discovered she didn’t need a bubble wand to blow bubbles.


It was fun to watch her move from one discovery to the next. Lots to think about.

The daylilies are beautiful. We are just past peak bloom, but the yard is still loaded with color.

‘Monterrey Jack’

‘Baja’

‘Shell Drake, MI’

‘Pink Super Spider’

‘Royal Ebony’

‘Elegant Candy’

‘Moonlit Masquerade’

Aren’t they beautiful?

While DS29 and his family were here, we took a few pictures (well, OK, we took a LOT of pictures). I am especially glad we got these four generation pictures of both sides of the paternal family.
Our older son, myself, my parents, and the twins.

Our older son, my DH, DH’s mother, and the twins.

My side of the family came over on Saturday to visit with DS and his family. It was a great day. Lots of fun. My sister, with her daughter and family, stayed over night and attended church with us Sunday morning, then stayed for dinner before heading home. Shortly after they left, DS and his family went home as well, after a good week’s visit. We had a great time while they were here.

We had to say goodbye to DS and his family today, including the babies. 🙁

Unless I can swing a trip to their house before then, we won’t see them until October.

Grandpa picked apricots for Great-grandma and decided to let Tab try one.
Wanna try an apricot?

Ewwwwww!!

What did grandpa give me?

::cough, cough, gag!::

That was yucky!

It’s a good thing Grandpa loves me.

Entertaining Grandpa after her bath…

Great-grandma was very happy to meet great-grandbabies number eight and number nine.

Not quite crawling yet. The softsquatch was made by their Aunt Julie. She made one for each and they *love* them!

While DH and I helped pot plants for a mission sale, the girls helped by babysitting. They did a great job and kept the babies happy.

How cute is this??




We’re having lots of baby fun! ~~Rhonda 🙂
