Free Little Library

Have you seen these in your neighborhood? Families put up a box with leftover books they don't want anymore. People can take them and don't have to return them. 

There is a website where you can register your box and look on the map to see where people in your communities have little libraries for you to visit.

We picked up some awesome childrens books this way.

Another one not to far away from us.

Too tired to walk home.

He has a stick between his legs. He wanted to ride a broom like a witch.

Little Evan Witch.

Visiting Cousins

On our drive to Oceanside to celebrate Bre's birthday both the kids got carsick and barfed everywhere.

Papa brought Evan the hat he and Nana picked up in Moscow. We love it!

Everyone wanted to climb on Papa!

Kit comes home

\

She explained  that she wanted to be a clown.

Double time out.

Evan pulled Kit's leg off and we have been waiting the last few weeks for her to come back from the doll hospital.

So excited!

Kit came home in  hospital gown with a health certificate and card.

Hailey has missed having her around.

We were so excited to see Nana and Papa on their way home from Europe. They brought Steve a Lego set all the way from Denmark their original homeplace.

Water Tea

Eating his favorite food in the world yogurt,

Nothing says classy like tap water tea and  a cheese quesadilla.

How to water your lawn in a drought.

He can barely breathe his mouth is so full.

On their way to a ball. 

A glimpse of our week.

 Steve was asked to do a animation job at home which he agreed to do.  Then  after he agreed they told him they wanted it done that very weekend. He didn't get the files until 9:30 Saturday night and they were due 80% done Monday morning ( 16+ hour project). Steve never does work on Sundays. Steve got up at midnight Sunday night and worked on it all day. He had to skip work Monday to finish this job.  He only slept for and 1 1/2 that day and finished up after 9:00pm Monday night.   Stressful and  lesson learned.

Time to empty the kitchen cabinets out.

Our cabinets were old- built in 1948. They have been falling apart and we have had a mold problem.

New cabinets and granite.

He caught a stomach bug.

Mothers Days Lego Flowers

We told the kids earlier in the year we would get them backpacks to take on the plane for a trip later in the year. We saw this Darth Vader one on sale at Pottery Barn a month ago.....but it wasn't on sale enough to buy it. Steve found it on ebay and snatched it up. 

Evan loves it! And Vader is his favorite Star wars character.

She told me she got attacked by a tiger.

He loves fruit. So do I.

Warning melting your crayons down will stain and ruin silicon molds. 

It is unheard of for us to get rain in May. The kids wanted to play in the puddles.

Can't be happy all the time.

Last jump before they go in a take a warm bath.

She loves to be fancy.
