Clothes: Optional

I would have to really search to find a picture of Lucas wearing clothes. 

Summer Growth

Despite the heat, our little plants are holding up.  Here's a peek at what's growin':

New bed this year: petunias, rosemary, salvia, lantana, and something I can't remember

These beauties fill the field next to us.  I love having wildflowers in view!

Our plants are filled with these gems.  Nothing better!

Lucas wanted watermelon, so we planted one plant.  This is/was the 2nd watermelon on the vine.  As of this morning, there are NO melons left on the vine.  Pete thought both were balls and "picked" them. 

Memorial Weekend

Several family members gathered around Memorial Day for a little fun and cousin time.  Besides the usual cousins (Nathan and Wade), Lillian and Lucas got to play with 2nd cousins (I think), Josie and Clay.  All the kids play really well together and Josie is Lillian's only girl cousin

Old Settlers Weekend

The 3rd weekend in April we went to Cheyenne, OK for the Old Settlers Reunion.  This event is held every 5 years to commemerate the settling of this area.  I've been attending this for as long as I can remember.

Softball

Lillian decided to play softball this year.  It is the first time she has participated in a team sport.  It is also the first time she has swung a bat or caught a ball.  We are so proud of how she blossomed during the season!  She only struck out once in a game; she was the first one on her team to hit a homerun; she frequently hit singles and doubles.  These pictures are from the first away game in Apache.  She played centerfield for the first few games then switched to 1st base for several after that.  She ended the season with time at 3rd base and the outfield.  Overall, it was a great experience that we hope she repeats next year.
