July 2015

First a lovely visit back east.

Then a bridal shower for a special aunt.

We visited the temple grounds with a friend.

 

Then Daddy and Grandpa took the big kids up to the mountains.

Then off camping again, this time with the church (the canoeing is the important part).

June 2015

First a Father's Day photo shoot...

...then we played in the sun...

...cheered like crazy for the guy who ran a 17 mile half marathon...

...ate watermelon on the beach...

...waited for the ferry...

...rode the ferry...

...built things with driftwood...

...toured the local lavender farm...

...and hoisted the British flag on American soil. (God save the Queen.)

Best of all, we welcomed Grandma and Grandpa back, safely home from 19 months in Thailand.

May 2015

May was better, as you can see.

The birthday spread: sandwiches shaped like airplanes, 

fluffy cloud jell-o, and Shirley Temples. 

Yes, this is a cake shaped like an aircraft carrier with actual toy airplanes on and around it. 

Proof that I am an excellent mother.

She likes the beach!

Critter hunting.

Seaweed!

Must be summer!

Exploring the nearby wilderness.

About to explode from excessive cuteness!!

April 2015

Okay friends, time for a reality check. I am not the photographer around here, Daddy is. But Daddy was out of town for part of April and took pictures of astronaut stuff and a big aquarium while he was gone. When he got back he gave the younger ones little toys shaped like an astronaut and a rocket. And then Anna's eyes started glowing like fire. Or maybe that was just the flash....

You may now make fun of me for having only one photo from this precious month of their lives. Alas!

March 2015

Marching along into March....

Flexing our amazing muscles.

Cozy reading time.

With Bunny and Bunny Blanket nearby.

Making masterpieces.

Sucking the marrow (read: frosting) out of life.

February 2015

The blasts from the past continue....

The good little worker "beens" filled up a jar of chores and good deeds. Time for some fro-yo!!

Rocking the car museum in Tacoma.

Playing so hard in the cute little bear suit we just couldn't take it any more.

Working on the monster cave.

January 2015

Welcome back, everybody. It's 2016, time to get my life together. Here are some posts on 2015. No farther back, there's only so much I can handle.
January was awesome. Here are the highlights:

Admiring the finest airplane ever built.

Getting ambushed by a guy with a camera.

Dressing up and being cute.

Dressing up and acting CRAZY!

Hanging with Grandma during her brief swing through our time zone.
