Playing at the pool

 Sometimes the girls come to the pool with me when I swim laps.  I remembered to get the camera out for a few pictures the last time Rylee came out.She's so cute and funny!

Picnic with my Lovelies

 The school had a parent picnic day where you could go enjoy lunch with your kids.  Since I have 3 in elementary school, and they all have different lunch times, I got to spend the morning there.  First lunch was at 10:30 with Delaney.  Callie came out at 10:50, and Rylee's lunch was at 11:10.  The kids each had about an hour to have lunch and play on the playground, so there was a bit of overlap and all three girls were hanging out with me for a bit.

Me and Delaney!

Trying to sneak in a photo with Callie.  I know, not the best, but it is the only shot I got! 

Delaney and Rylee enjoying their lunches.  Yes, that is purple hair.  It was "wear purple day", so she did!

My little Gymnast

Delaney has been in gymnastics for a bit now.  And she LOVES it.  She was thrilled this past week that we arrived early enough for her to play around a little before class started.  I was happy it gave me the opportunity to get some photos of her having a great time in her class.

Sizzling Anniversary

 Dan and I celebrated our 18th wedding anniversary.  I know, I'm pretty impressed myself.  To celebrate, we went out to dinner. We are unromantic and I'm okay with that.  Dan took us out for Okonomiyaki, which is my favorite!  Unfortunately, the closest one we know of is a do-it-yourself.  We have done that before, but not with great results.

This time, we had the benefit of prior experience, and we you-tubed a video on how to do it right and it came out perfect!

We prefer Hiroshima style with the noodles.

Dan, weilding the spatula with good effect. 

I know it looks a mess.  It kind of is.  But it tastes delicious!  A couple more times here and I'll be ready to try to make it from scratch for you. 

My finished product. 

Yes, I was quite pleased with myself!  And it tasted wonderful!

Levi's Before and After pictures

 You would think that it wouldn't be too hard to get pictures of the dog.  Just set him down and click the camera, right? Ug, no.  Apparently Levi does not want to pose and does not want to cooperate.  He wants to come up in your face for petting.  He thinks it is absolutely silly to have you be 2 feet away, out of petting range.  However, I persevered, and out of 25 pictures, there were a few that were adequate.

Then he got his summer hair cut.  I am sorry that the pictures are of opposite sides. I could only get what I got!  And not for lack of trying.  Sigh.

Behold, my shaggy dog!

And now the naked dog:
