Pretty in Pink!

So I had a defining moment of proudness the other night - Cameron let me paint her finger and toe nails! I painted them hot pink to match her little outfit! I was so excited, she looked so dainty! Here are some pics I managed to get while they were painted! (Dont mind the fact she is eating, she pretty much is always eating - I dont know where she hides it!)

Unfortunately, she ate the nail polish off her fingers the next day but her toes are still pretty in pink!

Private Getaway!

There is a small park on the backside of Moscow by a water tower. It is always empty and quiet and sits on a hillside overlooking parts of Moscow. We love this park! It is the perfect place to bring a pizza and enjoy some family time! We play on the toys, the benches, the grass...anything our goofy, silly little hearts desire! This is our small piece of moscow magic!!! (I know, its surprising there is such a place in Moscow!!) But, we love it!

The pictures are from my cell phone so some of them make the kids look digital and some seem like their heads are elongated, thats what I get for using my cell phone to take pictures!!

Pasta!

We had pasta for dinner the other night and Joe managed to get the cutest pictures of Cameron once she was done eating! This is a regular occurance around our household, as she is the messiest eater IN THE WORLD!! She refuses to learn or try to use a fork or spoon, no matter how many times I give her one - she looks me square in the face, picks it up, and tosses it onto the floor! She's lucky she's so stinking cute!! Anywho, words wont do her justice so here she is!!...

Chalk Time...

We had a ton of family come visit this last week. It was great! Joe's parents, Donna & Doug came to visit, as well as our neice April and Joe's brother Will and his girlfriend Rebecca! We had a lot of fun while they visited.

We had a fish fry at my parents house (with VERY fresh caught halibut from Alaska), a BBQ at East City Park, the boys went shooting and fishing, we all went swimming, etc...it was great. We were really sad to see everyone leave. We are happy that Will and Rebecca will be coming back to town at the end of August to visit again...they have a wedding to go to as well as a birthday party to attend (April's)...it will be great...

Anywho, while all the boys went shooting and the kids were just put to bed, me and April decided to play with the chalk outside. She made stick poeple of all the family visiting, and I wrote the names of the people staying with us at our house...we really are just a bunch of goof balls!!

The stick drawings are of Donna and Doug (with a rockin' motorcycle!), Me, Joe, Kaleb and Cameron, Will and Rebecca (she's the pretty dancing one), Geoff, Maria and Claire, and April and Chris!!!!! They pretty much Rock!!

While April did a fantastic job of drawing everybody...I wrote out Will, Rebecca, Kaleb, Cameron, Joe, Emily, and April on the other side of the front walkway! We had a beautiful display of family fun!

Daddy Duties!

There are a lot of things that make me happy. But none more than watching Joe be the amazing father he is with the kids. I truly am blessed with such a great man, he loves being a husband and a father - and is perfect at both...what more could a girl ask for?!

He recently gave the kids a bath, I managed to get some great pictures of my three favorite people in the world!!
