Flower Time

Oh boy did they love the fountain!

Bubbles?

He looks like he's in a time out,

but he's not! ...yet

Victor vs. the Tiger Lily

Lets just say the Tiger Lily lost big time

Victor in his new pjs from Gran!

They match his hair :o)

Eve smelling, what else, PINK flowers

Dirk "mean sniffing" the flowers.

Dirk hiding in a pine tree

lol I'm not sure how to comment on this!

Eve picked out a flower that matched her outfit.

Eve's tired of getting pics taken.

To Gran, Love Evie

Eve had to take pics, I liked this one of Dirk.

The rest she took for Gran,

because she knows Gran likes giraffes.

This is "Raffie" - Victor's Giraffe

from Uncle Britt and Auntie Christine

Happy Anniversary!

Happy Anniversary, G and Papa!

34 Years and counting!

Eve-ism

An attachment to our vacuum fell on the floor, so I put it back on it. Eve saw me do this, and the following conversation followed...

E - Mom, what would happen if you vacuumed off all my hair?

M - I don't know, Eve. What would you turn into?

(We tease her that if I shave her hair off, she'd turn into a boy, so I figured that would be her answer)

E - (...thinking...) PAPA!

lol

More of G and Papa

WOW! He's not screaming while swinging!

He LOVED this sliding thingamagig

Dirk standing on one of the bolders

that line the park's perimeter.

Our Little Red Head :o)

Eve, Dirk and Papa building sandcastles

Eve-ism

Ryan saw Eve digging thru the toy box tonight...

R - What are you looking for, Eve?

E - Money.

R - Why are you looking for money?

E - So I can send it to Gran.

R - Why do you want to send it to Gran?

E - So she can buy me more stuff!

lol

Dirk chimes in...

D - I have a dollar, do you want my dollar?

E - Yes!

D - Too bad I'm not going to give it to you.

Such a nice big brother.

"Dee" and "Boppa"

Mom and Dad came down for a "Kid Fix" yesterday. We went to their favorite park, right next to church. They had a lot of fun! Today, Victor walked around looking, and calling for "Dee" and "Boppa". He wasn't scared of them at all this time! He finally remembers who they are :o)

Who was having more fun, the kids? or Papa?

I can't begin to say how much Victor loves being outside.

He loves to try and catch birds - he sneaks up VERY well on them!

Or bark at dogs as they are walked by.

What I wouldn't do in order to have a set like this in a big back yard for this boy.

This is the "M" as Eve calls it.

She's climbing up the right hump of the "M".

I stopped watching them as they do this.

I don't want to see them fall. And I know I can't stop them from climbing!

Victor loves the slide.

He goes down backwards, on his belly.

With HUGE smiles :o)

Hi Ho Hi Ho It's Off to the Park We Go

This is the best I could do.

I took numerous pics trying to catch Dirk

jumping off the swing in mid-air.

He just doesn't swing high enough yet

to get good "air time" :o)

She may be a princess,

but she loves to dig in the dirt!

Dirk loves to slide on this
whatchamacallit


Last summer he had a hard time
figuring out how to pump to get swinging.
This summer - no problem!

This little guy does NOT like to swing.

I try every time we're at the park,

with the same result :o(

Milestone for Victor

Ryan called me at work yesterday to tell me that he put Victor down for a nap in his crib. A few moments later, he noticed Victor in the hallway. Yes, our 17-month-old can climb out of his crib already. Lovely.
