Happy Father's Day Pa June 19, 2011

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY PA

Every one gathers around on Sunday morning

to give Pa his cards and presents.

After church, Pa came home to a poster

that was in the front yard for everyone to see.

This is from Michelle.

She planned a special Father's Day

Barbeque Surprize.

Bubba (Jerry) was really excited about getting

Pa a new tree.  The one he used to have died

a couple of years ago

And it is not just any tree either,

It is a CHERRY tree.

We all miss those cherries.

Let's Get Pa

It is one thing when one little one wants to get Pa

But when two little ones try to get Pa,

he is out numbered.

Perhaps this is a Kung Fu move

Payson says that he has got him...

But wait.............

Add-Belle is going for it

I got you Pa

Grandpa is the closest thing to a father

figure for these little ones right now.

What a blessing they have been

in our lives, and what a blessing

they have to have Pa

Happy Father's Day Pa

Sprinklers are fun

Mommy (Macy) bought a new sprinkler play circle

for the kids on a hot June 10th day.

The temperature was 90*

There is plenty of room for everyone.

The boys loved it.

The boys kept running in and out for a long time

Addi-Belle thought it was fun, but she got too cold.

After they ran and ran for a while, it was time to

warm up in the hot summer sun.

Ahhhh

Flag Day

Today (June 14, 2011) is Flag Day.

It is also the Army's Birthday.

To show our patriotism Pa always hangs

up the flag.  It is now dusk, and time

to take it down.

Orion and Bion are both Cub Scouts, and so

Pa wanted them to come and help. 

It is good practice.  Pa shows them

how to care for the flag.

Pa is showing them how to fold the flag.

Payson and Addi-Belle are also interested.

Pa shows Orion that you start folding triangles

in the striped side of the flag.

Almost finished.

Bion is holding the folded flag.

Good work boys.

Game Time Bion 6/09/11

Bion is the first one who would say that

playing the games is FUN

Bion is one boy who loves to play the games.

Bion plays and plays even if he thinks it is hard.

This one is a boxing bag game.

Payson is very interested in it too.

Mommy watching Bion

This one is a game where you shoot a target,

and when you hit it, the panel lights up.

Game Time Orion 6/09/11

Game time now  Yeah!

Orion won a bunch of tickets from this Big Wheel game.

Orion had a blast getting the baskets with the ball.

Everyone

And now to go to "GameTime"

It seemed like we were the only ones there.

It was a good day to go.

Let's Celebrate Bion

To celebrate Bion's coming back we all went to IT'Z

It is a place to go eat (mostly designed for children

with macaroni and cheese or pizza dishes.)

and then go play.

Everyone is getting their drinks first...and then....

going to get the food.  Orion and Bion are getting pizza.

There are a bunch of varieties of pizza.

Orion's and Bion's favorite pizza is the cheese pizza.

There are a lot of different rooms to eat in.

The one we picked is the Toon'z room

where they show a bunch of cartoons all day.

Mommy (Macy) and the twins are going

to pick out a table and chairs.

Bion and Orion are going in the "Bridge" route.

Bion, Payson, Pa and Orion at the tables.

a family picture.
