Practicing

Elena and Mom are practicing being girlie and trying out a hair style or two for school.

Cool Dude

Ian is now wearing sunglasses to protect his blue eyes that burn so easily. You can tell he feels pretty cool in them (when he keeps them on) he will peer over and under them smiling.

More Ponies

Here are some more photos from the pony ride.

Pony at the Park

Here we get to enjoy pony rides at the park- woohoo! This is Ian's first time on a pony and he seemed to be a natural when it comes to the balance portion of it. Elena has been waiting to go see these ponies since we got here so it was long over due.

Games and Things

Elena got some girl time with Oma on the computer game at the Discovery Museum..I think all of us had fun there! Oma showed Elena how to navigate the lion through the tar pits with running and jumping. Meanwhile Ian "took off" in his red hot convertible.

More Discovering

After Ian wrestled the cow Elena and Ian had to make something for supper. Elena enjoyed her cowgirl outfit

very much..she wore it a large portion of her time at the museum.

Discovery Museum

Here is some fun with Ian at the local Discovery Museum. He enjoyed his time working hard in the mine, wrestling cow and of course riding the very large John Deere.

Garden Gnome

Here is Gnomeo our Garden

Gnome!

Daddy's Loaf

So Dad prides himself in some pretty good baked goods...this particular

evening we were treated with warm white bread smothered in butter and honey. It was some of the BEST bread I have EVER had!

What do boy's do??

So what does a little boy do during a little girl party exactly? I will show you-

Play in the dirt but of course : )

A Birthday Party

Nothing breaks up moving better than a party! Oma got us set up with a little girls Birthday party and it worked out great for everyone!

Road Trip

Here are a few more photos from one of the few road trips to get us moved.

Don't forget the life saver you see in the background there (DVD player)- a parents hero during long trips!

Moving Along

Here are the last few photos of us in our first home, as well as the couple road trips.

Also included is Elena's shots..she had the camera quite a bit on the trip and that is why is is not in many of these.
