Our little "June" Bug

Our green and purple kitty cat- her first face painting and her choice of animal and colors- interesting selection! She sure seems pleased with it!

Gran Da came for a visit!

Good times with Gran Da...










Our first kite flying attempt. This mainly consisted of Daddy running up and down our hill trying to catch enough wind to pass it on to Hattie. Let's just say, we'll try it again another day. :)






At the Cincinnati Fire Museum... Looks like Gran Da's enjoying himself as much as Hattie!










Snuggling with Gran Da...























A horse patrolman stopped to let us pat her horse, Bob. Coincidently, Hattie was wearing a dress covered in horses that evening- nice planning.





At dinner with the pizza makers hard at work behind us



Silly Gran Da!







Story time with Gran Da now. Notice....Hattie is ALWAYS the story teller!


















Hattie with baby Marlo- her buddy Ty's sister. Is she ready for one of her own or what?



Hattie and Elsie being silly (and productive)






Story time....again.

Hattie, Maggie and Hannah Kate....her Nashville babysitters. Mama used to be their babysitter...only they didn't make me dress up in red high heels the entire time I was with them! Thank you for that, girls. ;)




The Nashville ladies at a lovely dinner at the Greathouses home...



Canoeing on our Mother's Day campout....




Hattie had had it by that point.... :)


Nothing like enjoying nature the way nature intended
