45th Anniversary

We had an exciting weekend. Uncle Ric, Aunt Angie and Cousins Cyrus, Aquila and Zeke joined us to celebrate
Carolyn & Roger's 45th Wedding Anniversary!
We spent most of the weekend in the pool, but did take a brief break to get some family photos made. As you can imagine getting 11 people to look good (5 of them under 10) was quite a challenge. But, I think we got some good pictures and I know we got some fantastic memories.

1st Bike

Well today we decided it was time to get Sky her first bike. So we went to .... Target. As you can see it was her favorite color -- Pink. After Clif assembled the bike and Sky helped pump up the tires, she had a training session in the driveway. Although she had some initial trepidation about riding once she got the feel for it, Sky was off to the races. This evening she rode the bike all the way around our circle (.8 miles).

The Little Mermaid

Sky's favorite part of the new pool at her Nana & Grandpa's house is the creek. She can play in the rocks and running water for hours. With her curly hair and her Tinkerbell swimsuit she is quite the "sprite" or fairy. Parker and his cousins prefer the pool. Although, as you can see Parker does enjoy the novelty of being on the other side of the waterfall. At the pool, Parker spends the majority of his time underwater, so communication requires being prepared to communicate with him concisely during the brief moments he surfaces for air.
