June wrap-up...

Some pictures from June....

Warm days and water guns!

Doesn't she look dangerous?...

...well, Scarlet didn't want to use her water gun to get wet at all.  She just wanted to water some of Mom's garden

Scarlet is such a princess.  She wants to wear a dress everyday and then she immediately has to show it off to her Daddy so he can tell her how beautiful she is

Our two cats mostly stay in our room during the day and only appear in the evenings.  This is mostly because our kids are loud and rowdy and some of the little ones aren't very gentle with them.  Lorelai has been working real hard to earn the trust of the cats.  Lately, both of them have been cuddling up to her and she's very proud of it!

Just some boys, hanging out on the swings

Baby station!  I don't know if they're setting up a daycare or what...but they have out every single piece of baby gear.

We had to hire a company to come cut down a tree in our front yard.  They were worried it could fall on the house in a storm because there was some damage to it.  Because it was so close to the house, they had to climb it and take it down piece by piece.  All the kids, but especially Evelyn, were fascinated by the process.  Evelyn even wanted to help with clean up!  Don't worry...she was very well supervised around the wood chipper!  Now Evelyn says she wants to climb and cut down trees when she grows up!

I love this sweet bond!

Saturday morning cartoons

Scarlet got a new outfit to show off and she demanded I take pictures

I think I'm in trouble when she's a teenager.  She is so into fashion

My little bug whisperer...she catches critters all day long!!!

I love that these two get to grow up together

Walked into a rousing game night...

Catching more butterflies!

I am undertaking a pretty extensive landscaping project on my own.  I have a helper though!  Our yard has beautiful landscaping but it's overgrown and weedy and needs a good refresh.  This poor aspen was growing up and into a pine tree and had to come down unfortunately.  Lorelai was excited to help!

Bruno doesn't help in my work but he does keep me company.  I'm just very proud of his obedience as he's gotten older.  He can stay outside with me for hours and never strays far from my side.  He even chased a wild turkey the other day but came back to me when I called him!

Sigh....oh Evelyn...what are you doing?  She replies, "If I cover my ears I can hear myself chew and it sounds like THUNDER!"

I don't get a lot of relaxation time...

Another day, another moth...
