August: Come and (almost!) Gone

August what happened to you?  Summer happens in a flash... here's what we've been up to!

Enjoying the bounty of our garden. Amelia actually loves tomatoes and basil and mint.  (we actually grow mint for aunt kelly's mojitos!)

Checking off "making our first apple pie" from Amelia's bucket list.  Surprisingly, it actually turned out pretty good!  Thanks to a combination of the Pioneer Woman's Pastry Crust, and The Barefoot Contessa's apple filling and crisp topping recipes!


Daughters wearing their momma's vintage dresses.  Thanks for saving these Mimi!

Pronghorn 2012

We were fortunate to have joined Ellen and Frank on one of their annual trips to Bend, Oregon.  Pronghorn is a great spot for families - endless golf, swimming, biking, trips to the playground, hiking and any outdoor activity one could imagine!  I took too many pictures to post, but here are some select shots - sorry they're out of order!

Tuckered out on the car ride up

Beautiful skyline at Pronghorn

Pizza night!

Where we spent most our days-  the pool!


Amelia hiked 1 mile up, and 1 mile down - Pilot Butte.

She made it!
