Barrett's Birthday Party

Happy Birthday Barrett!

Melina goes airborne on the see-saw

Erby is kicking in

Walter gets a chance to ride the mini pony. We felt like we were in Middlefield again

This is a little scary... Iris leading

Niki was the only one that would sit this close to the birdie

yes, it was real and made itself at home on the couch

I love the boy in the background!

Lib was patiently waiting for her turn

Niki's turn!

Iris' turn!

waiting in line

yum yum yummies

tomatos

green beans

last week the broccoli looked perfect. apparently, I didn't water them enough because they bolted on me :-(

Here is what we brought home Friday. We made a grilled chicken salad and green beans. Iris was so excited that everything was from the garden and we grew it. Then all of a sudden she says, "mom, we didn't grow the chicken, did we?"

lemolade, get your fresh lemolade here

The girls had their first annual lemonade stand during our community garage sale. Between skimping customers on the product and over charging our neighbors (25 dollars, not 25 cents) my girls are gonna be good businesswomen.

This was their very first customer. She told Iris to just give her a little bit. She received about and inch in the bottom of her cup :-)

6 month bubby shoot

this boy is amazing! he has been crawling since 4 and a half months, he just got his first tooth, he is sitting very well on his own and now his latest achievement is pulling himself up and standing. with all of this locomotion I have been finding lovely presents in his diapers ie: cat hair, grass and the latest find was a crayola wrapper.

makeup artist school

So the makeup that belongs in the black case, up in the closet, out of reach of the girls all year long - except when they have their ballet recital..... I gave in and let them put on makeup in the bathroom. Here are the results:

lazy summer day at the seattle center

Well today we decided that we would use our membership to the Seattle Children's Museum for the first time this summer. Thanks to SavvySource we got a year membership for a fraction of the cost! I think I paid $40.00 for an $85.00 membership fee :-)
