Another friend :)
Out for a day (or 2 or 3, one never knows) on the boat with dad.
She LOVES to travel, especially surrounded by "junk food" and the ones who own it.
She can't climb in the water, so Liv helps her out.
Packing squash with her friend Stacy.
Instead of sledding down snowy hills like most people do in winter,

we just slide down hills of dirt.

Mary loves to cook.

Making Apples Pies.

She's an outside girl for sure!Having some painting fun with her little brother:)

That's supposed to be camouflage so you can't see him.

Enjoying the outdoors.

She and James are our "egg collectors".

We love you sweet girl!!
