Family snapchats!


I smashed my finger in the door today.  It may be broken.

July 28, 2018 - Back to school shopping

We went back to school shopping with Riley's "Aunt" Kari and it was so much fun.  The two of them are about the same size so they tried on each other's clothes as well as fun clothes.  In other news, my grandma's surprise lilies popped up today which always feels like a hug from her and we hit an Indianapolis Indians game and had amazing 70 degree weather for it!

Ugh, I have no idea what kind of hornet, bee, wasp, monster this is but it was on the ground right outside of my building at work.  I kept waiting for it to pop up and attack me.

Yes, that is a horrible picture of me with the cat resting her head on my shoulder.

July 25, 2018z

Sitting quietly at work yesterday when I noticed that I was feeling poorly.  I was nauseous, hot and very tired.  I realized that my blood sugar was low.  A small bag of M&Ms set me right.

Riley did a photo shoot today with Jagathon for a calendar they are creating as a fundraiser.


My flowers are so pretty!


And so big!

I reached up into a cupboard at home to grab a lid and ended up grabbing an unsheathed cheese slicer.  Probably should have gotten a stitch but it's all good now.


I have no idea what this is or what is happening but it was completely blocking traffic.


The grilled shrimp I made for dinner.

July 22, 2018

Yesterday we were invited to a picnic with BSU Dance Marathon.  I was a little hesitant to go but it was raining so they had a game party instead.  Riley was thrilled because she loves board games.  So for the second time this weekend, we had a game party.  We played Clue and Apples to Apples!




July 21, 2018 - Shopping

I had to work an outreach this morning at CPS, but I was home around noon.  Riley wanted to go shopping with a friend for her confirmation dress and maybe look at prom dresses.  Turns out, they only looked at prom dresses.  We also had to do some shopping for a bday present for one of Riley's best friends so that Riley didn't arrive at her party empty handed.  Meanwhile, Rick was with the clown band at a Red Skelton festival. 












July 20, 2018 - Family Game Night

Several months ago when I got sucked in to joining the women's group at church, I volunteered to take brownies to our upcoming family game night.

I remembered that this morning and the game night was at 6:30.  Yikes!  Luckily, I have a child who can drive.  I asked her to stop and grab brownie mix from the grocery on the way home from camp.  She actually went to grandma's and made the brownies then brought grandma to my house to pick ME up and then off we went to church.  

Riley was the youngest person at the party.  I was the next youngest.  Double yikes!  We had a good time though.  We played Apples to Apples and Riley played euchre with our priest and a couple of people we didn't know.   All in all, it was a nice time but I wish more people would have attended.

July 19, 2018 - Outdoor concert



July 18, 2018

Straight from camp to go canning with some of her IUDM friends.  The girl in the dress is Riley's new buddy.  Her old buddy wasn't able to make it but they sent her a "where are you" picture anyway.



July 17, 2018

It took a lot of convincing to get her up on that horse.  She used to sit on it every time we went to that Mexican restaurant.  Anyway, Happy Taco Tuesday.


July 16, 2018

Today was the first day of gymnastics camp.  Rick was sitting on the floor watching the baseball game and Riley joined him but didn't last long.


July 15, 2018

We traveled with Rick and the band up to northern Indiana for the Jasper Co. fair and their performance there.  It was hot and we spent most of the day sweating it out in the sun.

We had a plumber out to the house today and then we were off to the Indians game with IUDM.  I'm not sure Riley watched one second of the game.
