Random Cuteness

Here are some random pictures of Miss Rhy, being her cute self this summer. There's also a shot of Asher that makes me grin!


Hugs for friend Olivia, who came to visit two weeks ago!


Friends!


Chillin' out in her new shades!


Eating cereal in the morning ... note that she's already ready to go to the beach.


I just like this side profile shot of her.


"Oh daddy! I'm gonna steal a bite of your omelet while you're makin' coffee!"


Eating daddy's breakfast. This girl has a thing for snitching eggs!


I think of this shot as Asher's "Risky Business" shot. Love those shades!


At the beach ... we live there during the summer.


Hanging out in the beach chair we got Nate for father's day.




"See that boat, mom?"

Delayed Last Day of School Photos

Here are some backlogged photos from Gabe's last day of school. He looks so grown up!!






Yes, Asher is wearing his pajamas. He was in true summer spirit, and insisted on wearing them all morning, even during Gabe's drop-off at school.

Ash's Last Day of School

Asher wrapped up his school year at the end of May with a fun picnic at Eaton Park. Luckily for me, Nathan had the day off work, and I was able to go without other kidlets in tow. It was nice for Asher and I to have some quality time together. We had a blast! I can hardly believe he's movin' on up to 4K next year!


Me and Asher at the park.


Hanging out. :)


How many preschoolers can you fit on the lily pads??


Asher and his buddy Carson.


Asher and his teacher, Mrs. Kern. He looooooves his teacher!

Garden Time!

We planted our garden this past weekend. For me, this is always the big signal that summer is just around the corner. To get down in the dirt and dig around is pure bliss! This year, we tilled up a new section of ground, behind our garage, for our plants. I'm hoping that my veggies produce better this year than they did last summer ...


My boys monkey around in the hammock while I work.


This is the handsome garden boy that I hired for the summer ... he works for kisses. ;)
Seriously though ... I couldn't have a garden if my sweetie wasn't so kind as to till it up for me. I'm so glad we bought this rototiller a few years ago!


More boys, horsing around. They like to pretend they're pirates and the hammock is their ship.





A blurry shot, but you can see that even Roxy is blissful in the springtime grass.


Rhy is, of course, dressed up as a princess EVEN outside. Here she is whining at me to help her put on her slipper.


My little basil/flower garden. There's thyme, tarragon and rosemary in there too.


Happy plants in their rows ... tomatoes, zukes, eggplants, peppers, yellow squash, Brussels sprouts and lettuce.


Just a random, pretty flower in my yard.

A Night at the Ball Park

Gabe is in love with baseball.
On facebook this week, I shared the story of what happened at his game last night.
Gabe walked up to the batter's box, pointed his bat out to left field, and called his shot. I groaned and hid behind my hands, muttering to myself "What is he DOING???"

Gabe is a big fan of Babe Ruth, or as he is called in our household ... "The Great Bambino." So of course, I wasn't ALL that surprised to see my 8-year-old son mimicking the great sultan of swat on his little league field.

To my utter shock, Gabe cranked the very first pitch out into left field, beyond the left-fielder's position. Nathan and I cheered like crazy idiots and had a good laugh.
Afterwards, he seemed surprised that I was so shocked by his play. Only Gabe could pull off such a move, with absolutely no gloating at all ... he had simply done it. And that was all.

These photos aren't from last night's game, but they still give you a sense of how my little slugger looks on the field. And my mini slugger too ...


Gabe gets a piece of an incoming pitch.


Playing shortstop, his usual hangout.


Runnin' hard.


My little girl can't help wanting to be part of the action.


Can I play too???
