June 2020: Making Pizzas and my Dunlap girls

This summer has been a busy month with family and friends--despite the social distancing rules. I had to stay close to my kids, my mom, and a handful of friends. We continued to have our families over for dinner each week; went out to lunch sometimes; and had couples over for dinner and games. 

And I made a lot of homemade pizza--by myself and with my grandkids. It's fun and easy once the dough is made. The kids love to throw on the cheese and arrange the pepperoni. Below is my step-by-step process.








We enjoyed a scrumptious dinner at Jess and Seb's house. Look at the sizzling tri-tip steak, green salad, roasted potatoes, roasted carrots, and tiny grapes from their little vineyard. We brought the watermelon and the peas and carrots.




YUM--from the kitchen counter to the table!

Making pizzas with my Hannah and Sofia while I babysat them. These sweet girls get along great and play so well together. Hannah is a wonderful and loving big sister. I love how close they are. I also love how close their brothers are.




















Pizza making completed, the girls deserved a snack 
and some bath time fun before dinner and bedtime

Playing with their food (peaches and whipped cream)

These girls LOVE the water, especially Sofie


Time to rest those busy bodies


I had to separate the girls into different beds
so they would go to sleep

June 2020: Summer stuff

June 12th-17th: Our nephew, Evan Lemmon (and his wife Elena) visited us from Mt. Juliet Tennessee this summer during their New Mexico trip. We loved having them and enjoyed their company very much. They were our first out-of-town visitors to stay with us in our new home this year. Evan enjoyed playing pool and was very good at it. Evan is one of our favorite Lemmons!





We love this guy
