June 2011 at a Glance

Helping Momma

I love having ferns hanging on our porch each summer.  Lindsey loves watering them.  I'm sure it has something to do with the water.

Painting Project

We have four rocking chairs on our porch that were painted white and they were looking pretty bad.  So I decided to paint them green to go with the roof and shutters.  I love how they turned out!  Next is the table.

Fun with Cousins

We went to visit my sister Cathy and my nieces, Mandy and Crissy.  Mandy had her kids with her and Lindsey had a blast playing with them.  Crissy is expecting her first baby.  We are excited for baby boy to arrive in the fall.

Lindsey and Dalton had a blast in the pool.

Morgan just hung out in her chair and watched.

Talk in Primary

Lindsey was asked to give a talk in Primary at church about temples.  She wanted to plan it by herself.  So we sat down and she listed all the things she wanted to talk about.  Then I put them together without too much editing.  This is what we came up with.

"The temple is a special place.  It is Heavenly Father's house.  It is white and feels smooth when I touch it.  I think the temple is pretty.  I feel good and happy when I go there.  I like to go on an adventure to the temple and walk around the pretty garden and look inside.  We always wear Sunday clothes to visit the temple.  People inside wear all white.  You can get baptized and sealed inside.  Right now we go to the Louisville, Kentucky temple, but I am excited to have a temple in Indiana."

Happy Father's Day

Lindsey made Daddy a tie today at church.  Jeremy put it on immediately after she gave it to him.  She was so proud.

A Special Treat

Lindsey's favorite place to go for a special treat is Coldstone Creamery.  She loves the mint chocolate chip and cotton candy ice cream.

Doe a Deer

This doe was standing right in the midde of our driveway one day.  We had to wait for her to move before we could pull up to the house.  She was enjoying herself.

More Wildlife Fun at Home

As I was out mowing one day I came across a rabbit nest.  There were bunnies jumping all over the place.  Lindsey was squealing with delight as she and Jeremy tried to catch one.  They were finally successful and Lindsey just had to hold it.  She was ready to adopt it.

Ballpark Fun

We went to an Indianapolis Indians baseball game with our friends, the Pendleton's.  We had a great time.

Can't forget Joshua

Our Fashion Designer

Late one night Lindsey was upstairs playing while Jeremy and I were in the den chatting.  Lindsey came down the stairs and announced that she is a fashion designer.  This is the look she created.

We did a little photo shoot.

You Don't See This Everyday

I looked out back and saw a deer watching a turkey from the edge of the woods.  In the picture I think the deer is actually looking at me.

The Chicken Coop

We were blessed to receive a green house/garden shed from our dear friend Michele.  We turned it into a very cute home for our chickens.

Before we started.

Me from Lindey's point of view.

These are my beautiful daisies.  Daisy is one of my favorite flowers (and Lindsey knows it).  So while we were working she was busy filling my hat with the pretty flowers.  I must admit I love this photo.  She was so happy to pick something for me.  (I am pleased to say that I kept my response under control.  She was so excited that I just couldn't be mad.)

This is another one of my favorite photos.  Lindsey is holding one of her favorite chickens, Janet.
