To the beach

We have been back to the beach.

Five hours later, even we were ready to go home.

Garden party

Big smiles from beautiful girls at a garden party.

Family time

Tie your shoes

Do some warm ups

Then off for a family jog to Botany Pond on a beautiful day.

Soccer

My girl can hold her own with the big boys.

Birthday cake for me!

This year, for my party with Aunt Karen and Grandma and Grandpa and Gramee and Grandpa and everyone, I wanted a cocoa cake with chocolate chip frosting and sprinkles.

My mama delivered.  

 After our fried chicken, potato salad, and Trac Ball, it was time for cake.

Who left that enormous knife where I could reach it??  

We are the future

Be not afraid. We are the future.

John was here

After lunch.  A small boy's debris trail.

Quit wasting time

Go do something productive. It's just a rainbow.  Honestly.  Move on.

I'm FOUR!

Somehow I'm four!

 We celebrated with chocolate chip cupcakes and ice cream.

I'm such a big boy.  My mama wonders where her baby went, though.

Don't you worry about me

I'll just make my own birthday cake.  All I need is a recipe, an apron, and a little space.  

Cards

After the longest game of Crazy Eights ever.

Fourth of July

We made it to the parade!

 Even Mama, who was on call again.

Trip to Rainbow Cone

It's a tradition!

City kids in the summer

Laundry

Oh, thanks for doing the laundry, Daddy.  I think there's some clean laundry to come out of the dryer, too.

Hey, wait a minute...

Being mean

We aren't specific on which boy.  Some boy.  A boy.

Anyway, needs to work on this.

Life is so much more priceless now that the girls can write.
