BUBBLES!

Ever since Tahoe, Evan has just loved bubbles (that's what he calls the hot tub) Well since our hot tub is still disgusting, since we haven't cleaned it out, we put Evan in the Jacuzzi tub in our bathroom. I'll let the pictures determine whether or not he enjoyed it...







Fun with Evan and Brady

Sorry I've been such a slacker with the blogging. But now that things are settling down a little, here are some pictures of my handsome boys. Enjoy!

I still miss VA. Brady was so little here.
A couple of thumbsuckers (this was in Tahoe)
Thank you Erin for the shirts. Evan really does like it, he was just grumpy for the picture.

Evan likes to give Brady "hats"

Hula Girls



A few pics of the hula girls (Paige and Carissa). Thanks Kirk and Carrie for bringing back the cute outfits from Hawaii! The girls loved them! (and I loved the chocolate covered Macadamia Nuts)

Visiting Gma and Gpa


Here we are at the end of the week. We had a great day at Wright's--paddling, swimming, rock climbing, fishing, bird watching, and eating hotdogs! Check out the bald eagle, which was competing with two osprey for fish.

Carol Mitchel taught Carissa and Gma how to can wheat!Ben, who attends the University of I Must Touch Everything, spent some time with us

We picnicked at Discovery Park one night, with Kirk and Carrie. We wondered where all the crowds were. When the flies and meat bees showed up to share dinner, we understood why we were alone. Kirk and Carrie had prepared ice cream at their cute apartment, so we trooped over there and had a lovely end to the evening.
A workin' man---Derek picking pears and creating a handy item with the drill press.

Bed time stories----snugglin' with Gma


A tent/space ship/castle is always on the agenda!
Carissa and Paige enjoyed some stickery but sweet moments along the railroad tracks. Mmmmmmm blackberries.

Derek making a very scary, growly face!

There you have it---what a great week!

A weekend in Grover...

Here are a few pictures of the kids from this last weekend. Unfortunately, I didn't take very many... But these ones were really cute!
