We celebrated my dad's birthday with pizza and pie! My dad is a devoted grandfather and we all love him so much!

My parents have so much honey this year! We lucked out and were able to spend a day extracting honey from some of the frames while we were in town. Each of my girls really loved observing and learning about the process. And the smell! Yum, honey smells so good! I've wanted to participate in this process for a while so it was just great. Bonus, we brought home honey.

Conor gave Sonny his first bath in the kiddie pool. Poor boy was freezing afterwards. It's kind of funny watching Conor baby this dog.

Now begins my summer of taking too few photos!
