For Father's Day Kim kept the tradition alive and made me an awesome card with pictures of the kids. I took it to work before I could scan it, but the theme was "you rock."
These are a few of the photos she took
Mason's face is the best here
What a mouth full
So cute! My wife is AMAZING
The kids had a bike activity at the library where they got their bikes inspected, helmets fitted, and there was a bike obstacle course
They also learned the rules of the road and traffic safety
And there was a lion there
Bubbles
Nixon has perfect bubble blowing form
Mason is so busy!
The swimming pool is fun even when it is empty
Nixon got these nasty bug bites one morning
We have had a heat wave so the pool is a welcome relief to the kids
We (mostly Kim) have been working hard on our railing. Nixon is a good helper too when it comes to sanding
Lyza helped her mom pick some lettuce from the garden for dinner.
She also picks the cutest outfits ;)
And dances like no one is watching
Her moves just keep getting better
Lyza and I went on a date this week
We went to a movie together and had to take a picture next to this Spider Man display
The movie started at 6:50 and her bed time is usually between 7:30 and 8. She had a purse full of M&Ms too. Between the tummy ache and being tired, we only lasted about 20 minutes into the movie before she wanted to go home. But we still had a fun time.
Kim got the railing all sanded
While Lyza and Nixon played hop-scotch
Our strawberries have been doing well
Mason is getting adventurous at the playground
Nixon drastically reduces his risk of a head injury while at the park by never taking off his helmet. His Grandma Keyes would be proud.
Nixon tried this same move but wasn't tall enough and had an epic fall, but his head was OK!
Mason thought the swing with daddy was so funny
Lyza looked like a raptor on the swing
It is embarrassing that I look more scared than Mason
These two are pros
Kim stained the railing all by herself. Have I mentioned that she is amazing?
Mason liked playing peek a boo with her
The railing is all done and perfect!
Here is the before and after (we also got our AC put in this weekend)
I cleaned up our wood pile so we had some wood we had to burn
I kept making the fire too big so I couldn't sit near it
I also got this area all cleaned up (except for the tire)
This is Mason's favorite activity...pulling everything out of the cupboards
Watching Nixon push Mason on the swing is so cute. Look at that smile!
We hope you are enjoying summer. We are looking forward to some company in a couple weeks. Take care
