Family Dinner Night at the Z's pool

Monday on my way to Bible Study- beautiful wildflowers God put on the side of the road for me, nice to see some color with o rain everything is dry & wilted looking

We had storms on Tuesday, & I must not have gotten the cabinet door closed & this is where I found Emmy hiding.

We can thank Chuck for the rain, he put deck sealer on Monday Night & said it needs to stay dry for 24 hours & of course then it rained on Tues..

Nat is out of town for work so we took Family Dinner Night to the Zickafoose house, Chuck wanted to swim after this hot ,heat advisory day., so we swam before dinner.It was cute when we walked in the house Chuck yelled G-daddy is in the house & you could hear Taylor squealing with delight from upstairs..

getting her lotion on.

New little lady bug float Grandma Jackie brought her this weekend

Jumping in to mommy

sweeping the pool deck lets hope she always keeps this cleaning routine up as she gets older.

doesnt she look like such a big girl with her pony tail in the back.

Taylor wasnt to thrilled with grandma salad dinner night. I made Grandma Jackie broc/cauliflower salad, my friend Vals pasta salad & a taco salad (the taco salad was yummy), plus watermelon, she really only liked the watermelon, but I redeemed myself by bringing the leftover dessert from last night (we had a family from church for dinner, their youngest daughter we took golfing a few sundays ago & the oldest daughter leaves in 2 weeks for college she will be a freshman at Purdue studying Elementary Education.

Taylor showing G-daddy the cool bouncing ball toy grandma jackie & grandpa Larry brought.

yes Taylor has a black eye, she woke up on Monday with it, Jess asked us & Jackie & Larry if she did anything on Sunday which she didnt only thing we can figure is she hit her face on the rocking chair in the night, Jess said she got up & was screaming. Once again glad she didnt get hurt on my watch :) Taylor had a pretty good potty day today & was even signing the word potty telling mommy when she had to go..Yippee!!!!

College friends

Our church started a feed the hungry lunch on Sunday program at the mission, they dont serve meals on Sunday, so once a month we make about 100 sack lunches & people from our church go to the mission & hand them out in the parking lot. We have others churches that take another week in the month. The person in charge asks a few of us to each make 10 sack lunches, with a sandwich, piece of fruit, chips & a treat. I was finishing up my sacks before church this morning

We had a great start to our sunday, Jess called to see if T could come go to church with us, she was going to go with Matt for his last round of the Grant County golf tournament, which by the way he won his division. Good Job Matt..

getting ready to potty

waving good bye to the potty (well it was just water since she didnt actually go)

prechurch snack of raisins with g-DaddyI needed to make some copies for our bible study I turned around & T was drinking her juice out of her backpack

After church we took Taylor to her house where we were met by Matts grandparents, teh next babysitters. :) Then we headed to Anderson to meet some friends from college for Lunch. Mike lives in GA & Joyce lives in Indy. We try to get together with them when Mike comes to IN to visit his mom.
