First, I think I have finally chosen a paint color for my kitchen, hallway and kids' bedroom. Thanks in part to my friends over at Team FHS - Holla!- I have decided to go with the lighter color. It's the best color ever. Well... it kinda has to be since it's like the 6th one and I think Justin might raise an eyebrow if I go buy any more.
Perhaps the only down side to my week - I have come to the sad conclusion that it must not be the Lord's will for us to have an outdoor gas barbecue. I have called on several from Craig's List only to have them viciously ripped out from under me. Justin was going to go pick one up today until the guy called and said the people who didn't have enough gas money to get to his house somehow scrounged it up. Justin brought this home from his co-worker the other day. It's a real bute. Thanks a lot Dick. (that is his name. really)The kids and I went strawberry picking with my mom and little brother and sister yesterday. Now what says summer better than a sunny day and dirt mixed with strawberries smeared all over your son's face? I love the progression of some of these pictures so I have to post them all.
author's note: If you want to see the rest of the pictures I had in this blog you have to HELP me!! I cannot figure out how to get them side by side and not stacked on top of each other.

Well, I for one have been stopping by to visit. Reading your blogs is such a pleasure Cutzi. I have to say that I really enjoy hearing about your family life. You all have such a strong bond. All too often these days, families aren't so connected.
Plus, I love all the pictures of your adorable kids! :)

Just me. I love hearing about what your week has been like. From bi-planes to strawberries to paint chips to Dick- I love it all!
And I have seriously got to get my lovin' hands on your kids! Too cute!
BBQ's are fun. You really do need to get one. I still prefer charcoal though, and hickory chips, seems to make everything taste that much more yummier.
Cutzi,
Thanks for your comment. And: me too, about the family picture! (I hope that will be Mark and I someday, surrounded by our kids and their spouses and their children and their spouses and their kids!)
We went to White Rock, BC. Have you ever been there? It's right across the border, and there's a beautiful beach with lots of sand and a great boardwalk. We love it up there.
I see you've been painting, too? My kitchen is next on the list-- I'm going for a bright, sunny yellow! :)
Love to you, Cutzi... and Steele and Adia!

Hi Cutzi,
Amy just gave me your blog address. I am excited to get updates (both in stories and photos) of your kids. Steele has grown so much since I last saw him. And I can't wait to meet Adia and see her interact with *my* little Ava. =)
See you sometime after July 10th,
--Helen
