Lilly

My kids are ovsessed with Lilly the hamster. Lilly came to my parents house curtesy of Riley, but she makes for a great reason to be excited to go to grandma's house. Evan won't hold her, but he loves to pet her. Kate won't touch her, but she loves to look. A few days after we were home we went to the pet store. When we saw a section of rats Kate got really excited and started screaming "yiyee". Let's just say that little hamster made quite an impression.

Meet the new Calvin Klein Model

Lets hope not! Kate loves Evan's underwear. If it's too quiet she can often be found pulling his socks (gocks) and underwear out of his drawers. She is starting to put her own clothes on (Evan is 4 and has yet to want to do that!). I found her this afternoon trying to pull on a pair of Thomas undies and I helped her out. She LOVED them. She ran all over the house in his skivvies. This shot was captured in her down time. This girl seriously cracks me up!

I love this pic. It pretty much sums up our days at the park. Kate and I hanging out and Evan running, scooting, biking, plasma car(ing?), training, and all sort of other "ings" around us.

Memorial Day 2011-Camping

I just need to post that this happened! I'm so far behind and I have so many things to post. I was far too lazy to edit and dig through all of my pics so this is the summed up version of our camping trip. It was great! The kids had a blast and everything went well until Sunday morning when we were met by rain- and lots of it! It worked out well seeing as though we were going to go home anyway! Evan saw real frogs! He hasn't stopped talking about that yet! Kate was a trooper. Mom was a trooper- and we all know Paul did all the work. We will definitely repeat our camping excursion soon!

Father's Day 2011

We were out of town on Father's Day (that is, the kids and I were out of town on Father's Day), but I figured it gave Paul a chance to miss us. Boy did he! The feelings were mutual. My kids couldn't wait to see their dad. Evan gave him the biggest hug and Kate just wanted to jump and play all over him. Paul is the world's greatest dad. He loves his babies and boy do they love him back! I an lucky and grateful to have a such a good partner in raising our kids. We love you dad!

Weeee...

This girl loves a slide! She even pushes herself down the scary ones. If Evan can do it- she will do her best to do it too.

Love
