My youngest brother Dan came to visit from College Station over the 18th-20th. He is a wonderful guest because he loves to cook and made us fabulous meals 3 nights in a row. He brought us some halibut and salmon from Alaska (he went fishing with my dad and other brothers at the beginning of the month).
He is single - he is a getting his masters in Meat Science so his only requirement in a woman is that she know the proper names of the 4 stomachs of a cow. Totally kidding, Dan.

We went to Marburger Farms in Fredericksburg while Dan was here to pick peaches.
Merry was really helpful and her eyes are sort of creepy - I need to fix that
Mom missed the peaches in the picture entirely
The other peach picker
The peach eater
Then we went to Fredericksburg for ice cream- Jacob chose Krazy Kolors - it looks like melted crayons. Who would think of that? It stains.Jacob moved too fast for the camera when we picked peaches
Gracie and mom
Another random shot
Just because she is so cute.What did the peaches become? Peach perserves, canned peaches, and some fabulous peach cobbler. Try this recipe:

I also found a wonderful product that makes Merry's braids stay smooth- unless the braids come out - then it looks like this
This weekend my sister moved to Texas - she spent the weekend with us before migrating on to Kingsville. These are our older hooligans in the bathtub (she has kids the same age as me).
Check out those guns
My sister brought a game called Settlements of Zarahemla or something like that- anywho we stayed up until 1:30 in the morning playing it because it was so grand
Now for something completely differentGrace is turning 3 months this week. She celebrated by starting to cut her 1st tooth
(notice the drool).
P for all you dentists out there
How cute are her dimples?
She also is rolling - that is why most of my pictures ended up like thisWe also went to Sydnee's birthday party at Fiesta Farm- it was so much fun.
We also had some to-die-for BBQ at the Zufelt's - I am so glad we live close enough to smell when they are BBQing - Sadly I didn't have my camera at either event.
And now for an explanation of the previous post- It was our modesty fashion show.
We went shopping at Salvation Army (hopefully this explains the extra fancy wardrobe selections). I will be donating my windsuit to the 1st person who says they want it.

Grace's dimples are to die for!!! How cute! And she has a tooth already? What the heck? She's suppose to be a baby! If she's already trying to keep up with bro and sis, you guys are in trouble:)
Merry's crazy hair is SO funny. It always makes me laugh when I see little girls with their hair pulled out walking around like they don't even care.
And oh I wish I had some peaches! LOVE fresh peaches!
Beth, I love love your freaken pictures! After this baby comes, you are offically hired. Gracies pictures are too cute. I had Nixan's b-day party at Fieasta Farms and it is so fun. I can't sleep right now so I'm snooping.
I didn't realize Grace had the cutest dimples ever!? How did I not notice that before?
loved all the fun pictures. we were going to go to that farm tonight, but I had to work. But, don't you worry, we will go soon. :) you inspire us.
and p.s. I don't have your email address, I need to email you something! can we get on that? :)
Fun times! You have been one busy girl. That's what I love about summer; guests, b.b.q.'s, fruit and photos!
Your little Gracie is just a precious as can be! I absolutely love the pictures. They are priceless.
I'm glad you guys had a fun visit with Dan. I hope he gets a date from your advertisement of him. I hope you save some peaches for us. And that all 6 kids fit in the bathtub together cause that would be an interesting picture. And Gracie's dimples put Elias's to shame but I thought he had a cute one till I checked hers out. see ya soon.
Wow, I love Grace's dimples, too! I can't believe she already has a tooth and is rolling! Might want to get a child leash for her, pretty soon she'll be running. :)
