New Toy Story Friends

We went to Target, and we found these new friends. We got Buzz Lightyear (Tia), Woody (Natalie), Jessie and Bulls Eye (Kira). Natalie is holding a horse that Woody likes to ride, but the horse was a toy we already had.

The girls like to play with their new toys. Kira and Natalie like to make Woody and Jessie ride their horses, and Kira likes to make Jessie yodel. It's super cute. Tia won't let me tell you what Buzz does, but it's cool and makes sense for a space man.




Question, who forgot to update the blog all week???? I know I left someone in charge... Hired help just can't be trusted.

More Electric

I didn't get any pictures of Nat and Kira, but a friend did.




And one more of Tia. I don't think I told you all how much she loves cars and how much she wants us to get an electric car. She's a girl after her Mommy's heart too as she LOVES two-seaters. She saw a Miata and decided it was the car for her. She said I could drive it ocassionally.

Tia's dream come true

She got to drive an electric car... She did really well, too. (Nat and Kira also drove it, and did well... I missed getting photos of them driving though.)

My name is Kira and I love to try on clothes

This was last April

I love the picture of my 3 biker chicks.

From the garden

Zucchini

Look at the huge zucchini from our garden... Held up next to an 8-year-old for size comparison.



It's bigger than she is!

Dance class

Ballet and Tap for Tia

Hip Hop for Nat and Kira

Better pictures when I remember to bring my real camera to dance class.

We're back

You probably didn't even miss us. We were visiting my (Judi's) Family 7/7 -7/12. We went to the family reunion on my Mom's side and hung out with everyone.


Grandma F and the girls!

Swim Lesson

The first week of summer, the girls took swimming lessons. There was one other little girl taking lessons too. Nat and the other little girl were in one class and Kira and Tia were in another class. It is exciting, all three girls can swim now! Woo! Nat has mastered summersalts under water, Kira is doing well with freestyle, and Tia is a little fish!

Alternate Universe

In which Kira is not a girly-girl.

Teeter Totter

At the teeter totter park.

Cat Art

Nat got Kira this little art kit.


Kira drew this. Pretty good!

Saturday's adventure

Ahhh! It was a lovely day!

Sister Sandwich

favorite tree

On the hike we took on Father's Day, the girls ran for their favorite tree and posed.




We saw this caterpillar.


Can you see the rabbit?


And this little mouse. S/he was eating and didn't care at all that we were standing 4 feet away from him/her. I guess the trail is so busy that s/he is desensitized to people.

Tiger Swallowtail

You can read about them here. Nick caught a couple of great shots of one the other day outside the library.

lots o' kids

We happened to be with our friends for their oldest kid's birthday.













Here's the whole gang (of kids and Moms). (If you have a better picture, Karin, please send!!!!)

Quote of the day

Natalie: okay, okay, I talk too much.

She said this because her mouth was tired. Heh.


(Meant to post this earlier... It was June 5, 2010 when she said this great quote.)

Part of the trip

We went to see



Karin and Rob


and Karin's parents Jon and Jo as they celebrate their 50th anniversary.


The kids thought we went so they could see Karin's kids... (all 4 of them--not all in the picture)


and to swim in this pool!

Everyone had a good time.
