OOOPS!

I forgot to include Sarah and Hunter when I was talking about how much I enjoyed having everyone out at the Lake!!! Sarah has volunteered out at the Lake for many years and this year Scott and Hunter came out to see what it was all about. Hunter stayed the night with us and assisted everyone on the Fishing Boat! It truly was a great year!

STAY OFF THE ROADS!! - Bradley got his Permit

Bradley was a very Happy young man on Saturday! His mother took him and he passed the test and came home with his Permit to drive! Scary - they are growing up so fast!!!

We are very proud of him and I have a feeling he is going to want to go with me to the grocery store - (So he can drive)

Love always,

Jill and family

June 13, 2009 - Emmalee's first haircut!

Emmalee was such a big girl, we got up early this morning and went in to see Mercy to have Emmalee's hair cut.  I thought it was time to get some shape to it, she had pieces that were really long.  She was hesitant to climb up into the chair... but once she was in the chair she did great!

Getting the cape on

Wetting down her hair!

Deciding what to do!

The first cut!!! (yes, I saved it!)

Mirror, Mirror On the Wall - Emmalee is the fairest of them all!

This isn't so bad Mommy!

Look how long these pieces are!

Time for blow drying!

Look!!

She was amazing! She looks so cute!

Love always - Us!

Emmalee at Play

Emmalee sure loves to play!  She makes us all kind of delicious imaginary treats in her play kitchen, she takes wonderful care of all of her babies.  She loves playing outside.  She wants to take her babies everywhere.  I caught her with her baby "Emma" jumping on the trampoline and giving her love.  Here are some pictures of little "Em" and "Emma"

Emmalee loves to go play on the slides and swing at the playground at Field Elementary school!  She really likes it when her brother Bradley and her cousin Jenna take her and play with her.

We are having a terrific summer so far enjoying the beautiful Arizona weather (actually the weather has been terrific we have had temps in the 90's - which is unusually love for June)  We hope you are having a fabulous summer!

Love - all of us!

Day on the Lake 2009

St. Joe's hosted the 13th Annual "Day on the Lake" on Friday, May 29th and Saturday, May 30th. I have volunteered for this program for 11 years and this year I was involved through the whole process, now that I work for St. Joe's Recreation Therapy Department. It was really neat to see it from all sides!!! I truly enjoyed having Rob, Brad, Jodie, Larry and Jenna all there volunteering! And it was great having Sarah and Hunter there also!!!! Sharing the experience was very rewarding. On Saturday Mom, Dad and Emmalee came to check out the event. For further info see my sisters blog at ustwogirls (see the link to the right).

More to come on Day on the Lake.
