Trudy's friends

Trudy has been assigned to be friends with all her sisters' friends' younger siblings. So far she hasn't objected.

2nd Grade Field Trip

Going to the moon

All astronauts wear chunky peanut butter and snow boots, right? I love their imaginations.

She takes after Ray

She is concentrating. How can I tell? Her tongue. She sticks out her tongue when she's concentrating, just like Ray (and the other three girls). It's a family trait. Ray's entire extended family seems to do it.

The Coolest Swing Ever!!

Seriously!!! I can swing with Trudy. Or I can push both children at the same time. It's awesome!

Things Trudy Likes: Reading

As long as she can hold a book.

Almost walking

Ten Years

We've been married for ten years. Ray asked what I wanted to do for our anniversary and I told him to surprise me. So he asked all his friends on Facebook which would be more romantic: fishing or prairie dog hunting. We went fishing.

Birthday outfits

I was trying to get a picture of Trudy in her cute birthday outfit from Grandma Holly. But she wouldn't cooperate until Eda got involved. Then I realized Eda was also wearing birthday gifts from Grandma. So it's perfect.
