I love summer...So many fun things to do. This is one of my favorite kitchen gadgets. It is a juicer. I put the blackberries, or what ever fruit I am working with. Turn on the stove and wait about an hour. Take the clamp off the tube and out comes juice. No mess and no seeds. Perfect for jellies, syrups and juice. Makes processing all the fruit around here much faster and easier. I can get about 2 quarts of juice per load. YUM YUM.

I don't care what anyone else says I love 3 year olds. They are so fun and helpful. Joshua is getting ready to help make some bread

One of the younger kids favorite activities every evening is blowing bubbles. I am so glad they sell it by the gallon. I am not sure which of the kids shot the pic of Isaac, but is that not the cutest sad face.

Taylor is taking an auto body class for summer school. He is repainting my parents truck. They have said it is for him to drive next year. I am still trying to imagine him driving next year in that truck. I am so glad I have a whole year to get used to the idea. Did I mention how much I love 3 year olds. I don't have to think about them driving!

Our final project is the retaining wall. It runs the whole length of the driveway. Michael and Taylor work for a couple of weeks to get it all done. It is hard to see the length in the picture but there are 21 posts. It is a long wall. Another project down, and many more to go!

Last but not least. TOC's are over. Robynn had a great season. Now we are off to the All Stars. I have been assured that we will be done with the whole softball season by July 10th. I hope so, it is starting to heat up around here.
