Happy Birthday Auntie Mandi

Have a great day Auntie Mandi!

Dan Patch Days

We took the family plus Mimi (Grandma Jean) to the exciting Savage city festival: Dan Patch Days. Emily and I took part in the 5k race in the morning (31:30 for Emily, and I ran a 20:47). Then we went home, got the kids down for a nap, and afterwords we took them to the Inflatables park, petting zoo, and the taste of Savage.

My expectations here quite low for the Dan Patch Days, but it wasn't bad. Usually the ticket based food scam irritates me, but everything was quite reasonably priced and they didn't have ticket purchase minimums.

Yeah, bouncing is fun!


This is so much fun!


Oh! I pirate ship!


Weeee, down the slide, let's do it again cousin Sophie.


Laura chasing Sophia up the pirate ship.


Down the slide. Being a pirate is fun. Maybe we should move to Somalia.


Laura got to ride a pony (with a little help from dad and his pony pee soaked sandals.


Now for a petting zoo. Here chicken chicken chicken.


Hello Mr. Goat.


What a friendly and docile calf. Do you drink the Valium straight from the bottle?


For being such a good girl, Laura got a sucker when we got home.


Posing in front of Daddy's apple trees.


Here you daddy, you were a good sport.


Last week she played in the pool, and the wet hair gives her very cute curls, so I had to take a picture.

Another Painting For Mimi

Mimi loves to see Laura's paintings, so here's another.

Pants & Art

What do you get when you let daddy dress you? You get a cute pair of shorts right? Except when mommy asks why Laura is wearing Anna's pants. Doh.

They sorta fit.


After I put them on, I thought to myself - hey, no plumber butt, nice. I guess Laura's size is 9M XX Tall.


Laura painted a great picture today - dandelions and clouds. I was impressed.

Little Twins Fan

What's this? Another photo shoot? No thanks.


Try as you might, I won't smile.


Daddy and Anna watching the Twins


This is fun, a lazy afternoon baseball game.


GoGo goes yard. Whatever that means.

Silly Poses

I had a fun photo shoot today, both girls were being quite silly in their poses.


Anna, show them your new teeth! Come on! (Her bottom 2 teeth just punched through, although she's pretty shy about it.)


Hmmm... Diaper might need some attention here.


Anna flashing a smile.


Anna showing off a 'Wow' face.


Laura's turn to be silly. Let's start off with a nice smile.


Now we can be SILLY!


Laura says "Take pictures of ME!"


That's quite a pose Laura.
