Treat?

That’s the only word you have to say to get Ginger to do just about any trick you want. She knows roll over, sit, stay, speak, up and lay. Sometimes, when she’s really excited, she’ll just automatically start doing her tricks. I suppose she just does them all with the hopes of getting to her treat a little quicker!

Tony was telling her “up” and I was trying to get a picture of her. It was taking me awhile to get the shot and she just kept hopping around on her back legs and barking. She did get her treat though, and as soon as she had finished it she was ready for another!

Skateboard Camp Pictures

These pictures are from the last day of camp. Both of the them learned a lot, and I could see a huge improvement in their skating over the course of the week.I think the biggest hurdle for both of them was their level of confidence. Now they are much more sure of their abilities, and are more willing to take chances…which is a good thing AND a bad thing!

Braided Bracelets

Zoe’s friend Theresa taught her how to make a braided bracelet. Anyone else remember making these? I sure do! So far she’s finished 3 and I think she has a few orders from her friends to fill!

 

Happy Birthday Landon!

My baby turned 8 today! Where has the time gone?

It was his idea to hold up 8 fingers…cute, huh? He’s happy that he no longer needs a booster seat in the car. Not a major milestone I suppose, but for me it is just one more reminder that he’s growing up and not such a little boy anymore.

 

My handsome boy, waiting for his birthday treat. He had no idea what I had in store for him! (Aren’t those crooked front teeth adorable? Not too long ago he had giant holes where his teeth were missing and now big, adult teeth that barely fit his mouth have taken over!)

 

He doesn’t like cake, and he’s been begging me to make these cookies, so today was the perfect day. I’m happy that these little things still make him happy. Happy Birthday Sweet Boy! I Love You!

Bruno

When my sister came up for a visit on Tuesday, I had to snap a few pics of her cute little pug Bruno…or Bwuno, as we like to call him. ;)

                                         Isn’t he cute?

Now, if I could just get Ginger to accept him…she just puts up with him and that’s about it.

Impromptu Party

What do you get when you have Marshmallows + Graham Crackers + Chocolate Bars?

A Smore Party!

Landon has been asking us to make smores all week, and we finally got around to it last night. Before we knew it we had a few neighbors over and the kids were having a great time!

These are the only two pictures I got that involved smores! I was too busy chatting with the neighbors and, maybe eating a gooey smore or two…

A Day at the Duck Pond

On a day that Zoe was busy, I decided to take Landon to the park so he could feed the ducks. We used to go to this pond all the time before he started school full time…I miss those days sometimes.

In the last photo above, if you look closely you can see that there is something wrong with this ducks bill. Landon was convinced it was sticking its tongue out at him, but I’m pretty sure it was just a deformity of some sort! I still got a good laugh out of him thinking the duck was teasing him!
