more science

Wow... just wow. The effect of wolves in Yellowstone. We know so little.

I guess there are still 3 girls involved in the Science Fair

Tia and her friend are doing a collaborative Science Fair project and they are using google docs to do their work and make their poster! (Google docs lets more than one person work on a document at a time. People don't have to be in the same location so the girls can both work at night.)

Science Fair

We're preparing for 2 this year, not 3.

Kira works on her report.

She's done all the research, all the writing, and all the planning all by herself. We need to take a look this week to make sure she's done, but she's done a super job!

Staying out of the fountains

 

Not going in the fountains... Heh!

Book worm

 

Even back in 2009, Kira was a bookworm. 

Flashback Friday!

 
Cute Kids!

Flashback Friday

 

Kira came up with the name (instead of TBT). By the way, that's Tia behind the shades.

Bikes

We took a bike ride this weekend... All 5 of us!

Here are all the bikes parked.

Judi's birthday present... It's purple!

Hey, you're in my breakfast

 

Masai wasn't very happy with MotorMouth.

Before school work

Nat and Alex do a little group project work before we walk in to school.

Our visitor

 

He's here this week for the break week.  His name is Teddy.

Nat's sunset shot

 

More flying shots.

By Tia

One nice change, since you can keep your phone on in airplane mode, is that you can take pictures during take-off. Tia got this shot!

9 years

Since Mr. Hobbes (on the right in the photos) passed. Catbert has been gone almost four. We miss our sweet black kitties.

We will miss you Uncle Mike

Uncle Mike passed away a few days ago. There's never enough time to enjoy people while they are around. We will miss you. Aunt Kat, our love goes out to you in this very sad time.

Pretty flower

Happy Valentine's Day!

Softball

 

Softball practice started today!

We just got back from Seattle.  More soon.

(She hates having her picture taken.)

No-no

 

How No-no tells us he's out of water. 

Meeting a Tap great!

 

From Saturday: see  http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=oRgOmfS_v48 to learn more about Dianne Walker. We had a fabulous day, and learned a ton. She's absolutely inspirational.

Selfie with No-no

Swing

 

At the park last Saturday.  Can you see the blur that is Tia?

Window

Buddy just learned of this window recently. Nick showed it to him. It is funny, the kitties jump in the kitchen windows all of the time. They get removed from the kitchen windows all of the time, too. The didn't jump in this window and we will gladly let them jump into it because it is in their room. They are glad they learned of it.

Rocket

 

This is Rocket!

She's Chelsea's girl.

 The girls love it when they get to see Rocket.

Beautiful

From Denise and Ted. Thank you!

We looked at bikes

For Judi's birthday, she got a bike. As we were shopping, Nat, Kira, and Tia tried out some small ones for fun. Tia wouldn't let us take a picture of her on the toddler (very tiny) bike. Picture of Judi's new bike soon.

Birthday

In the hot seat...

New anklet made by Tia… I got another one from Kira, too.  I need to get another picture.

The coolest t-shirt EVER.

Nick and I made homemade thin mint cookies in lieu of a cake. YUM! It was fun baking with Nick while the girls played. We haven't baked cookies together for a long time. Usually, I have short blonde bakers.
