Bed of Roses ... Or weeds

Who needs a bed of roses when you can have a bed of weeds?  Less thorns after all.

Asher created this massive pile of weeds with his dad (yes, we've let the backyard get a little out of hand.)

After showing Kiera the pillow, he actually said "and nature will be our TV!"

Luckily he did not ask to sleep in his bed of weeds for the night :)

29 mistakes

One night Asher ended up being the only person at the pool. The lifeguards were entertaining themselves by playing Frisbee and Asher have the honor of getting the frisbee whenever it landed in the pool.  (Which he thought was absolutely awesome). 

However, he did keep count of every time they made a mistake and the frisbee landed in the pool. At last count I believe it was 29.

Father's Day

A little late, but I thought I would post some photos from Father's Day. 

We had a spectacular brunch at a local restaurant. And then hit fossil beach, where we stumbled upon the coolest mud pit ever!

We learned that Kiera still has a scream that shatters ear drums which she demonstrated every time she saw a crab.   We saw quite a few.

I think my favorite part was Asher's maturity in giftgiving this year, which included mopping the kitchen floor, and weeding his dad's porch plants and planting new basil and flowers for his Dad.

School Art

It seems impossible that Asher's first year of kindergarten is already done.  We were lucky to have a spectacular teacher this year.  

Creative furniture use

This is how the kids were watching TV this morning.  

Blast from the past

Our neighbor is going through his old photos and just texted this photo to me. It is Halloween 2010 - I can't believe how little the kids were!

Headed to the horse race

The neighbors hosted a horserace party, so we made sure to wear fancy hats.
