Family Fun

We drove three hours south to suprize Steve's (my husband) Dad for his 60th birthday.  We had a great time visiting with family we haven't seen in a long time and who still haven't met Zoe.  Zoe loved the party and charmed everyone she met!  Happy 60th Birthday Robin!!

CIRCUS CIRCUS

Parker's class was in a play on Wednesday called "Circus Circus".  Parker had two dances he was in and had to dress up like a clown.  So dad got the face paint out and went to town.  The two little one's really wanted their faces painted also, so Chase ended up with a Web and Zoe a butterfly!  We really enjoyed the play and Parker did great, Zoe was mesmerized by the performance.

Parker didn't like the eyelashes dad gave him

Pictures from Little Gym

Well I finally did it I signed Zoe up for Gymnastics, and it's what we thought "she's a natural".

Her arms are so strong she swung on the bars longer than all of the other kids combined!  We will now go every thursday morning.  Chase was a bit jelous but after treating him to a happy meal afterwards he was good to go!

Sorry there not the greatest pictures, I forgot my camera and the instructor took some on her phone.

Weekend Part 2

On sunday we were treated with some very yummy chocolate pancakes.  After everyone was ready we headed out to the nearby lake to let the kids fish.  Zoe loved the lake and exploring, she even held a worm and grossed the boys out.  The boys each caught several catfish and had a great time.

Parker loving this!!

She found a stick & mud

Yes that's  a worm in her hand

Weekend part 1

Boy did we have a great weekend!  We were invited to go to Eastern Oregon along with most of my Dad's side of the family.  We went to Charlie (AKA Big Bear) & Geneva's house which is about 30miles from the nearest town and out in the desert.  We were greeted first with a delicious lunch & then we took Zoe on her first Quad ride and she loved it.  The kids wondered around their property shooting each other with squirt guns and squirting water at ant hills.  Geneva had several activities planned for the kids and they enjoyed them all.  Zoe really got into hitting the homemade pinata.  We ended the evening with another delicious meals and the kids got to roast marshmellows to make smores.

Sunny Days & T-ball

We've been getting some great sunny days here lately.  Chase had another T-ball game last night and is finally getting a hang of it.  I dressed Zoe up like a cheerleader and she brought her pink glove along. 

She loves playing catch with her pink glove

She's concerned about what's in my mouth (sunflower seeds)
