Our summer has been cram-packed with all sorts of things, some of which we've already blogged about (see here and here). But, I was just recently looking at our photos, and noticed that there were several photos that I hadn't blogged about, so here we go. :)
 |
| Okay, technically this wasn't quite the summer (June 16th), but close enough. We went to watch one of our close family friends, Isaac, play some softball. |
 |
| Mr. Isaac up to bat. |
 |
| Got his first hit of the season: a single. |
 |
| Who's on first? ;) |
 |
| Waiting for his second at-bat. |
 |
| Our "kitty" had kittens. She had four, but sadly two of them have died. The two that survived we named Dusk and Dumpling. :) |
 |
| Now, this was officially in the summer. ;) July 4th I decided we needed to have some kabobs. So, I grilled them up! |
 |
| Abby made a coleslaw (and other things) to go with the kabobs. |
 |
| Deviled eggs go great with a lot of things! |
 |
| Playin' the mandolin for a while, waiting for the grill to do it's job. |
 |
| Looks like the grill did good! Nom, nom! |
 |
| Now THAT'S one good looking plate of food. |
 |
| On the 12th of July we went down to Dallas, to Caleb and Claudia's home, and surprised Caleb for his 22nd birthday. Ate pizza, visited, watched him open a few presents, watched part of a baseball game, and just had fun. :) |
 |
| The boot star! |
 |
| Six of us were wearing boots, so we decided to snap a picture. |
 |
| We have several tomato plants (roma and beef steak), and boy have they produced a bunch of tomatoes! |
 |
| We also got some onions from our garden. |
 |
| Fresh tomato slice, onion slice, with some homemade cheese, on a piece of homemade oat bread - sooo good! |
 |
| This is Dumpling, the older of the two kitties. He's a ginger-tabby like his mom. :) |
 |
| And this is Dusk - she's basically all grey, except for a few streaks of yellow, and white 'socks'. |
 |
| Joel came up for the weekend a couple weekends ago, and brought part of his drum set. So we rocked out a bit. |
 |
| Our cantaloupe (and watermelon) vines have gone crazy, and we've gone 6 or 7 large ones already. |
 |
| There's nothing better than a cold slice (or 2 or 3 or 4...) of cantaloupe on a hot summer day. |

 |
| This past Saturday evening we had a close friend of ours, Jared, up to have dinner with him. He is moving far, far away (okay, only like 6 hours), because he has a job with a fire department, where he'll be in training for the next several weeks to be a fireman. |
 |
| We'll miss you, Jared! |
 |
| And we had to do one crazy picture - although I don't think Dad got the memo... |
