June 2011, random

As a surprise the kids were given a 53" bear

Off to bed they go

Calvin consoling Evvy; she was crying (see below) because she thought we were not going swimming as we paused to get our swimsuits on...silly

Going out for a family day and Ev insisted on wearing the tool belt.

Evangeline & Lily

This was taken (above) the night before we were to leave with Mom C for Butte, MT. At the time of this pic Ev had a fever but insisted on riding her pony and Clint & I called Mom C for guidance.

Cal caught his first frog

Happy Birthday Clint

June '11: Uncle David's Birthday in OR

Kleptomanic Evageline

Cherry Pickin'

(same farm we went pumpkin' pickin')

That's my girl...walkin' and spittin' out cherry pits

Grandmom Teresa & Evvy (in the beautiful dress made by Great Grammie)

For a birthday dinner (my uncle's camera shy) we went to the Legendary Abby's Pizza; it's practically tradition to go at this point.

Ah, the family that doesn't allow play guns in the house...

Great Grammie & Uncle David

I adore this picture; this is one of the best ever taken of Great Papa & Evvy

The kids worked really hard (i.e. ate dinner) to earn a piece of Great Uncle David's birthday cake.

We actually surprised David on this trip. He had no idea we would make it to celebration his birthday. He really enjoyed being able to see how the kids have grown and being able to watch them be their normal silly selves.

Get her!!!

I love the look of adoration on Grammie's face.

Goofball...

Pool Set Up

This year, as Clint set up our pool the both kids helped. While helping Ev learned about how a garden hose works, Cal learned he can trick and spray sister and Ev learned....Daddy will help spray brother back!

One hose, two thirsty tots

Our handsome & wise patriarch

Gotcha Sister!

Our turn, Cal...
