Smiling Faces

We went to Brooke and Chis' over the three day weekend.

Walt helped with the sprinklers and I helped with the kids

We hadn't been over there in three weeks.  Pete had more hair

but still the same smiles.  Ellie's smiles are worth 

capturing too!

Ellie using my Kindle

Pete reading a book

Pete can grab things and actually get them into his mouth

Walt, Chris, and Brooke got all the sprinklers in and tested, the only
thing left is to rake the top soil and smooth out the dirt. Then they can
seed the lawn

Trip to California

We went to California for Claire's 1st Communion 

on May 10th

We got there the day before and started the prep.  

She didn't know I was bring sponge rollers

She didn't even know what they were 

With her thick hair we had to put them in around 3pm 

on Saturday so her hair would be dry by morning

She was curly

and beautiful

Her head wreath

A few pictures outside before the big event

and at the Church

Going up to her 1st Communion

All done

Then on to cake

We got to watch a couple of Cade's baseball games

I went over to the playground with them for a little while

Cade brought home his Santa Barbara Mission Project 

from school

He did an awesome job

We got some games in at home too

Cade lost. He's a dare devil

The second game was at a nice ball field

and playground

Warm up pitches

some more batting

Lost the first game Won this one!!

It's nice to get to see a couple of his games each year to

see how much he has improved

Weekend with Ellie and Pete

I guess we did everything right last weekend because we got asked 

back this weekend.  :o)

Ellie loves her milk

Pete is getting bigger all the time.

He'll do tummy time for at least 2 minutes

All these new faces this direction

The weather was fabulous for working on sprinklers

and playing in the water

Just ask Ellie

He found his fingers and 

they taste good

He's grabbing whatever touches his hand

And into the mouth it goes

Three months if fun!!
