A Banner Day

Brad spent Father's Day working in Joplin doing tornado clean-up.

So, we made him a welcome banner to greet him.

It took only 3 colors of paint and one melt-down from Anna to complete!

Isn't it Grand?

The Turner Family invited myself and the kids on an overnight to Grand Lake while the men went to volunteer for clean up in Joplin. The Turner kids are so amazing and were so good to my kids. It was a welcome reprieve for me and I thoroughly enjoyed the stay. I didn't take very many pictures but here's a couple.

Tubing!

Parker and his new friend, Luke.

Grant at the top of the somewhat steep slide on the dock.

After he climbed up for the first time he asked,

"Should I really do it Mom??"

To which I replied, "OF COURSE!!!"

Fat and Happy

I think Abby feels like I do after a hearty breakfast.
