4th of July Party



Happy 4th!





Alice's new crush - Reyn!



Our fireworks didn't exactly enamore the kids....I remember snakes being a lot cooler

Jerret remains watching the snacks, while the kids find something else to do.

We headed to our neighbors who had 'real' fireworks and a zillion kids to play with.

Hey Kyle - Give me a light!

Happy 4th of July

We visited our state capitol the other day.  Don't the kids look super excited to be there?!?!?!  I also love that Kyle is wearing Alice's pink Dora Crocs.

Happy Fathers Day

For Fathers Day, the kids and dad chased Scary Larry around until he finally saw them.  This is what they came back with.

Loves & Ice Cream Face

Darth Vader and the Storm Troopers found a new home after the Death Star was blown up.  They like red velvet couches

Mama's Day

 My parents came into town for Mother's Day weekend.  There was lots of yard work (shocker), fishing and enjoying each's others company.

Digging for worms to go fishing with

Waiting patiently

Picnic in the park

Preschool Graduate

  It's official, Alice is a preschool graduate! :)  Look out Kindergarten!




Singing during the graduation assembly



Getting a hug and diploma from Miss Amanda

Memorial Bike Parade

 The Exergy Tour came through town, and one of the events was a Kid Bike Parade.  This was my first time getting to decorate bikes, it was super fun.  To top it all off, Alice won the 'People's Choice Award'!  Super Fun!

Kyle hanging out, he finally learned how to ride a bike this week and had a blast during the parade

Here she comes!

Random - Patrick Dempsey was here in Boise for the Exergy Tour

Argh! Kyle's 3!

Since we were in CA for Kyle's birthday, we had a little delayed friend party. Luckily the weather was decent enough to be outside, so the kids had a grand old time running around.

The Pirate Ladies

Argh!

I stole this idea from Pinterest, so cute!

Dinner in the Pirate Clubhouse

Pinata Time - This thing was actually well made and took FOREVER to destroy. Lilly using her t-ball skills

We started whacking the pirate ship with Keaton's wooden sword. This was about 2.5 seconds before he sword was destroyed! Keaton was not amused!

We graduated to an aluminum bat (after the sword & soft princess bat).

Come on Birthday Boy! Dad was super excited, Kyle was swinging left handed (yea, he whiffed this one)

We blindfolded the kids and had them Walk the Plank

Poking at the birthday boy trying to make him fall

Poor Lucy, she got a little freaked out with the blindfold.
