Summer fun

Where Have We been?

Blogger is not cooperating and is putting pictures in whatever order it wants to.

Leah enjoying soccer practice.

Grant and Daddy went to the state track meet.

Leah loves her some corn on the cob.

Grant checks out the Olympic starting blocks at the Arts Festival. His shades make him a serious competitor.

Grant was in charge of directions at Inniswoods. He was very determined to get us to number 7 on the map.

Cuddle time with Daddy.

Running the tunnel after soccer. Look how sweaty he is.

At the zoo we ran into M from Grant's class. At the Mother's Day party she looked at me and said, "I'm going to marry your son." She seems to have a little crush on Grant. Too bad for her he wants to marry Mommy.

More fun at the zoo.

Leah and one of her kitties. She was in heaven with two cats who wanted (and didn't mind) attention.

Getting lots of work done.

Slip and Slide: now with extra mud.

They can't ever look at the camera at the same time.

Leah LOVED the carousel. Grant actually seemed to enjoy it too. A few weeks ago when I tried to get him to ride one he told me he would when he's five.

Grooming the goats.

Donuts!!

Enjoying ice cream on Mommy's birthday.

Grant and Daddy went to a building workshop at the Home Depot. Grant made a lovely organizer.

Modeling his soccer medal.

I told Grant I would take 5 pictures of whatever he wanted and he could tell you about them. Here goes. 5 pictures plus a bonus picture.


I wanted Mommy to take a picture of our blue wall.


Take a picture of our new furniture.  This is me and Leah. I like to have my jammies on for the picture.


These are my toys.  I like them.



I like our bird feeder.  Miles got out.  Mommy took the picture right away.  Miles came out right when you took the picture.  He almost ate the bird food.  Mommy got Miles.  He's a bad kitty.  I love our bird feeder.  The birds like to eat the food.  There's a little zero food. 


I like my transformers stickers.  I like all my stickers. 


I like Buzz Lightyear. He has a thing that opens.  He has like a special sticker. He has one more sticker.

The Past 2 Months We've Been...

Grant using a roll of toilet paper as binoculars to watch the birds.

We really did not pose them like this.  They just ended up in the exact same pose.

Leah rocking her babies.  She had a fit right before this because she couldn't get in the rocking chair while holding both babies.

Grant "helped" make cookies for his school birthday treat.

4 Years Old!

Happy 4th Birthday Grant!  Our big boy is 43 inches tall (95 percentile) and 38.5 pounds (70 percentile).  He's still really in to Buzz Lightyear so we had a rocket cake and Toy Story party invitations. We took Grant to COSI the day before his birthday and did the big kid exhibits without Leah.  He was terrified of the Space exhibit, but we eventually got him in and he started to enjoy it.  We had his party in Napoleon this year  and he had a good time and enjoyed opening lots of presents.

Christmas Card Outtakes

These just didn't make the cut...
