Look at this

The Cupcake

The Explorer

I am going to try something a little different this time. I will post focussing on Griffin first, then Olive and Catalina. The photo sets are from the summer.

The turtle picture was important because he insisted that I photograph them despite the fact that we were about 100 feet away from them; the photo is not bad considering.

Before Halloween

O.K., Catalina's first day of school was not the same day as Griffin's and Olive June's. It did not stop her from getting dressed up and pretending in the previous post. No, on her real first day she was even more excited.

On the trail end of the Billings Grandparent's visit, we went to a pumpkin patch where there was a field of sunflowers. I thought it was a good photo opportunity.

Griffin pointing the way.

Grandma Kathy with the kids.

In anticipation of Halloween the kids rocked

some old costumes from the closet.

And then ate some lemon slushies.

Olive June was there too.

A photo of Griffin on his New Cells Birthday.

He had been waiting along time to get that Skylander.

Summer and the Start of School

This year we got passes to the Aquarium. 

That reminds me that we need to go again soon.

 Griffin's first day of third grade,

Olive June's first day of Kindergarten,

Catalina's first day of Preschool.

So excited. 

Ditto. 

Ditto-er.

swim team.

Undie/diaper time, most certainly after

getting home from the pool.

And with that we are pretty much caught up. I will try to upload photos more often and stay more current. I need to look at my camera and see where we are. Good things are yet to come.

This a day that Camp Sunshine treated our family 

to Georgia Gymdog tickets.

on a cold day.

Tasty refreshments.

 Easter morning we continued our tradition of

egg hunting in the morning.

 This year was the first year Ina really got 

involved in the egg search.

 Cyndi came for a really nice visit.

Knowing the girls, Cyndi must be looking

at their arts and crafts.

Washington Farms.

 Good times with uncle Jacob.

Olive June enjoys dressing up.

Springtime fun in the backyard.

She is looking forward to Summer.
