Hi, it's me!
Just thought you should know that Peyton and I have been enjoying the backyard lately.
The sun can be brutal during the early afternoon {think triple digits}, so we wait until the rays of light start making their downward descent and then we sneak outside to enjoy a few minutes of {extra warm} fun in the sun.
Of course, summer isn't really summer without some hot summer grillin'. So while Chloe takes a nice {air conditioned} nap, and Peyton and I romp in the yard...
Troy gets to work making us some terriyaki chicken and vegetable shish kabobs.
The master griller at work! Troy is loving his new grill. It sure beats waiting for charcoal to cool off to a smoky red glow. And it's nice to know that dinner can be cooked up within 15 minutes start to finish. Loving it!
Do you remember drinking from the hose when you were a kid? Seems like things haven't changed much!
The finished culinary effect!
Looks good honey...let's eat!
Speaking of summer fun... Peyton got a wonderful surprise from his Mimzy and Sir Grandpa today. Remember the super cool water slide that Peyton was having a blast on at his friend Shelby's birthday party? Mimzy thought that the little guy needed one for his backyard too so that's just what he got from the UPS man today!
He was so excited when I told him it was for him! Pictures of the 'unveiling' to come! :-)

Hi Lexi,
I greatly enjoyed your shadow portraits - the intensity of the sun was quite dramatic to achieve that clarity of detail.
How many people were planning to attend dinner? Troy created quite the feast!
I love you,
...Dad
Love the shadow shots. Seriously, the slide is the best thing ever. Especially on those days when you need an extra hand. Plug in the pool and you are good to go.
That shadow picture with Peyton's profile is the cutest! It makes me want to go outside with a camera and take my own. : ) It's usually a matter of luck when you capture something that good and a toddler is involved.
Oh i'm so jealous! That food looks amazing. mmmm.....
