This month we went to Phoenix to visit my parents and brothers and their families. The kids had a blast in the pool!

My little beach bum.

"Daddy says I have too much monkey hair, so I cut it off!" Those are the first words that came out of her mouth when I discovered her. You can guess who got in trouble!

Her hair was so long and pretty. She's happy that it only takes 30 seconds to comb it out now.

Looks like a mullet!

The new hairdo.

I decided it was time I learned how to bottle. Peaches or apricots anyone? These aren't going to last long in this house! I've bottled 7 pints of each.
