Yogurt ~ Eating? Facial?

Bananas & Yogurt

How does she get all that yogurt
on her hands when she's using the spoon?

So cute ~ right up until cleaning time.

Driving Lessons

My two loves out for a Sunday drive...

Note the tight grip Emery has on the handle in front of her...  :)

Skateboard in the back...

Big brothers are the best!

(Little sisters are pretty great, too!)

Bob the Builder

We broke down and headed to Chuck E Cheese's with the kidlets.  Little did we know that Emery would take such a liking to Bob...

Just another day at the park

We have a playgroup that we meet with occasionally and it's been a great opportunity to check out new parks and make new friends.

 The "Embassador" waving...

 ...to the ducks on the pond.

 She's dancing!  You can tell because her hands are blurry

and her right foot is off the ground.  :)

 I love how the railing is the perfect height for her!

Mmmmm.... Lilacs!

Raingutter Regatta ~ Take 1

 Brendan and his boat for the Raingutter Regatta

He had fun, won a race or two, and learned a great lesson: 

the effort you put into something is usually reflected in your results. 

Looking forward to next year!!

Benihana with La and Trav

Laura and Travis were in town for the weekend and we were smart enough to book a dinner with them well in advance!  Benihana?  Should be Benihaha!

 Does this hat make my head look big?

 Really, Mama?  Really?

 I can even make this hat look cool!

 Two peas in a pod!

 Oh yeah, here we go...

 Bunny ears all around

Oooooh, I wanna be like Uncle Trav too!!!!

Cub Scouts Adventure Camp

Brent and Brendan had an opportunity to spend a Saturday together at Cub Scouts Adventure Camp.  Judging by the pictures that came home and the stories that were told, everyone had a great time!

Ready for adventure!

I'm flying!

Sling shots ~ remember when we did this without protective eye gear?

First Haircut

Emery was finally ready for her first haircut so we visited Jack & Jill.

She wasn't really sure what to think about the whole experience.

But she warmed up to it a bit when she realized that lollipops were involved!

Lair o' the Bear

Emery and I took our first hiking trip together this morning.  Lair o' the Bear in Jefferson County.  We had a wonderful time...

Strolling along...

Dirt...

"Dirt on my hands..."

Bear Creek

Beauty and the Bear Creek

I love photographing flowers ~ I need a better camera!



Not exactly sure what she was looking at here...

My sweet bean...

So busy!

Our friends Matthew and Tiffany

Staring at her toes on the way home.  Silly girl!
