A Sunday walk at the "Eagle Drive beach" on base...
Another Sunday walk at the "Marina beach" on base...
Brynn has kinda been obsessed with watching the show Cake Boss and The Next Great Baker. Whenever she has a chance she will grab her tablet, turn on Net flicks and zone out. Well she decided it was high time she got to make some cookies all by herself. Up til now she has only been a helper, doing what I asked her. But this time she insisted that I not be involved. I realized maybe I hadn't taken enough opportunity to actually "teach her" during those helping moments. So I had to hoover and help without really helping. At one point I caught her about to add 1 cup of baking soda instead of 1 tsp... oops! And Tyler helped her realize that 1 1/2 cups of butter was not actually 1 1/2 sticks of butter... it was actually 3. So there were a few little snags along the way but I do believe everyone learned a lot and it has since gone a little bit better.
A beautiful double rainbow on another evening walk around our neighborhood... unfortunately we got caught in a downpour right after this picture was taken...
I just don't have any words... doesn't everyone walk around the house in underwear and goggles??!?...
Summertime Popsicle...
Her friend, Berlyn, gave Kate some hand-me downs. This adorable owl hat was included in the pile. Kate wore it for days despite it being the middle of summer...
We had a serious ant infestation out front! They were little black ones. And they were EVERYWHERE! You couldn't stand in the yard or sidewalk or driveway with out constantly moving your feet and doing an ant dance to keep them off of you. The kids didn't even want to play outside anymore. So we had to handle the situation. And everyone was more then happy to help. We marched into Home Depot and asked what we needed to do. We were told there was a liquid spray that we could use that would be a more immediate impact but not as long lasting. Or there were pellets that would take longer to start working but then would last longer. SO... we did BOTH!...

The double rainbow was very cool.
Love the whole Brynn story. I could totally see David sitting quietly by and coaching Madison on her cooking. Seriously. Very cute.
Love all the wildlife.
