Rachel's Baptism

Rachel was baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints last Saturday. It was a wonderful day with lots of family.

Here she is with all of her cousins who were able to come. I'm not sure what the sunglasses are all about, but it's funny. Believe it our not, for three days, all of these kids and their parents, my parents, Jason's mom and brother all stayed with us in our house during a record-setting heat wave, and with only one shower. That's how the best memories are made!

Eggs!!!

After waiting 20+ weeks, we finally got our first egg from our chickens! We have gotten two more since.

This is the third egg compared to a store-bought egg. It's the darkest brown of the three. The fun has begun!

Our Last 4th in PA

We have enjoyed our Independance Day celebrations while living here in Pennsylvania. The small town celebrations are always the best. We meet at a park right next to the Susquehanna river, have a picnic dinner, play games and listen to a local band play patriotic tunes until it's dark enough to watch the fireworks. The fireworks are always very impressive here, too. They did a full 30 minutes of them this year and all of my girls loved every minute.
