Sweet Children
Last week, my brother and his family were at my house. I bought some sidewalk chalk for the kids to play with. My niece Riley (9) drew this awful, yet sadly very accurate, picture of me.
I really wish I hadn't bought that sidewalk chalk.

Pain is Beauty
A few weeks (or was it months?) ago, my oldest niece, Breanna asked me to pluck her eyebrows. She is now 13, and there were some boys at church she wanted to impress. So we got all set up and I got started. She really didn't need it though, she really has nice eyebrows and not a lot of strays. But I figured I would do a little bit so she would feel primped and ready to go. After the third pluck, she said "Ok I'm done." I guess she didn't consider the fact that ripping hairs out of her skin could be a little painful.
Besides, boys really aren't worth that much pain.

Happy Fourth/Sixteenth of July
Isn't he so cute!
Later that night, when it finally cooled off a little, we went to the Boise Hawks baseball game. It wasn't a very exciting game, but I did get some ice cream. After the game, they lit fireworks. It was quite the production. There were even some synchronized flame bursts. Nick said they had some issues, but I like to think they did it on purpose. You know, to mix it up a bit. Everybody expects fireworks at a fireworks display, but no one expects flames.
