Lainey and the Hose

Lainey got to play with the hose this afternoon. She was really enjoying herself. She wasn't too keen on being sprayed, but LOVED holding the hose.

Flip Flops in the Dishwasher

What was Lainey thinking when she put the flip flops in for a cycle in the dishwasher?

"Oh my word! These flip flops reek!

They need a wash."

"Quick! Hide the evidence!

I hear someone coming!"

"Oh no! They're going to know it was me."

"I better just karate chop them
with my stellar moves."

"I knew they wouldn't care.
I'm just too cute."

Sleepy Head & Copy Cat

Ben was of course taking an ill timed nap. Lainey kept coming over and trying to play with him. Then she laid down by him. So cute!

Dragonfly Sighting

This little guy kept coming back to perch on the van antennae.

A Baptism

Emma's cousin Katelyn was baptized today. This year Emma will have the chance to go to four baptisms before her own comes around in January. I think it's good preparation for her.

Just a Blur

The rule is: NO running in the house.

Sometimes the rules aren't fun.
::
Sometimes you don't understand the rules.
::
Sometimes the rules need to be re-visited.

Sometimes you just have to run.

Going by so fast

People say that when raising
kids time goes by so fast.
It does...

At the Park with Pals

Grumpy Ben, EmmaLee, Rawnie, Squinting Emma,
Paul, Claire, Talen, Cardyn

We finally got to go to the new splash park on Keene Rd in Richland. It was A LOT of fun! We met up with some pals to have a picnic and play. What a perfect day!

A visit with Aunt Shawnee

We all love it when Aunt Shawnee is here visiting from Spokane. She is so good to play with the kids, let them play her wii (if she brings it), take them on walks with her dog, or fill in as babysitter (thank you! :}). And of course, Lainey loved to be up in her arms.

home made popsicles

Emma orchestrated some homemade apple juice popsicles.
