Happy 4th of July

We had a fabulous day yesterday. The kids started out with a trip to the donut store to pick out donuts, then we made "flag" cookies, headed to a fun parade with friends, and ended the day with a big fire works display across town. They are tired today, but it was well worth it.

sleepy head

I think he was trying to get out of bed...then realized it was not a good choice!!

I scream for ice cream!

so cute

The seminary just finished a really nice new terrace on campus. The kids love to run and play and throw pennies into the fountain.

ML getting into trouble

Look very very close around her neck!!!!! ML loves to destroy the diaper basket, but this time she got a hold of Calvin's man bag....:)

Happy Anniversary

Today Dan and I celebrate 9 years of marriage!! (and Calvin's BD)

The past 9 have been awesome, I can't wait to see what the next 9 will be like!!

Go CARDS

U of L blanket I made for a friend at church. This is her first baby, and he "needed" a U of L blanket to watch sports with with Daddy:)

Playdate

Enjoying "new" toys at their friends house!

Happy Birthday Calvin

Happy "almost" Birthday to our little man!!

Calvin turns 3 next week, and due to vacation plans, we celebrated early. Funny thing is that he truly thinks last Saturday was his Birthday! He keeps telling every one his is 3 now.


3 looks good on you Bubby! He was SO excited that he wouldn't take his nap that day. Here he is helping me set up. The weather was awesome, and all his friends came.


They played several games. Pin the Spider on the web, bean bag toss, and a Cake walk.



Go Hannah!


ALL kids and a few adults got tatoo'd. It was really funny the next day at church. We received several comments on them!

Spiderman cupcakes

Pretending to blow out candle. It was too windy to light it...

Guess how old he is!!










Jess, was kind enough to take all these photos that you are enjoying!!!! What a GREAT help! THANK YOU JESS!! (nice tat)


Calvin opening his light saber...aka his FAVORITE gift. He takes it everywhere and is constantly asking me to hide it from Hannah:)

The worlds(well...)Largest yard sale is about to occur!!! Tell all your friends to come and buy our stuff. There will be several families and TONS of stuff for dirt cheap!! Contact me personally for details:)

The rainbow is from 2 weeks ago during a break in one of our storms.

the Zoo again...!!!

remember last year when Calvin got attacked by one of these? This literally happened seconds after I told "the" story!!! These peacocks are CRAZY!!

(I LOVE this picture!!!!!!)
this picture describes "Roofy" and Calvin's relationship to a T!!

Guess where we are headed tomorrow! That's right;)
the ZOO! (again)...

We have a BIG day planned with about 12-15 of headed there. School is out due to the elections and what better to do with our time (well...actually I need to be pricing for our massive yard sale Saturday...) than to spend it with good friends. Hannah hasn't seen the new polar bear exhibit yet, so I am excited for her to see it.
