Columbine.

We recently planted flowers in our little area next to the house and Cam's grill. We have one Columbine in the back. I had planned to take photos of all of them to show, including of Liv's 15-seeds-per-hole lettuce planting job which has now happily sprouted late, but the camera died after this one. Honestly, I am so ready for the new camera to arrive.

Liv's 4-year-old photos

I chose this one for her free birthday 8x10. SO cute!

Olivia and I went in last night to Kiddie Kandids to get her 4-year-old photos taken. They were booked for another 45 minutes so I took her next door to the Coldstone Creamery and got her a kid cup strawberry ice cream with gummy bears, her choice. :) She ate the whole thing, didn't spill once. Phew!

Here are her photos [the last one was bribery for wearing the outfit we picked for the regular photos.]

Family Dinner 06.15.08

We went to a Family Dinner yesterday for Father's Day. MyKayla was also able to come over as she's in UT right now (She lives in NV), so I got a couple of photos. Okay, more than a couple. :)

The Party: Olivia, Andrew & Kyla

The photos aren't the best as the kids were not even looking anywhere near me... but we've got plenty of cousin shots and plenty of water-play shots. :) Enjoy.

Alissa (1), boy in blue shorts (no idea, lol), Duncan, Liv (4),

Liv finally getting to the top.
Now can we get her back down...

Testing the water...

Daddy helping Duncan take a slide down. :)

Wee!

Christina & Alissa

Duncan... this is what he did for pretty much the WHOLE time.
This kid and any type of sports ball.

Liv.

Liv. Again.

Duncan going down the other side.
Note the ball in his death grip and the facial expression saying,
"Can I go play basketball again?"

I wish this shot would have been lighter, but Andrew is just so funny in it, haha.
He had a good time and is SO cute. :)

Liv going down, finally ENJOYING the slide. :)

Later I discovered, after Cam snapped this shot,
why she was okay going down the slide suddenly.
She'd go down the slide that didn't have the double sprayer and
she'd duck the only sprayer this one had by slipping to the side.
She didn't want to "get her hair wet." :-P

Duncan

Duncan, again. :)

Kortney, haha, I love this one! Her expression is so cute,
and I got the water just perfectly. :)

Kyla & Duncan

Kyla going down the little slide. :)

Kortney

Liv going for more. :)

Ashlinn (Jordan & Alissa's little sister)

Close up. :)

Zachary (Ang & Curt's son) in his adorable swimshorts, lol.

He was working really hard on staying up. :) He's such a cutie.

"There's baby Zachary!" Liv said after seeing this. :D

Opening presents

The "cake".

Blowing out the candles! (Check out Liv's cheeks, haha.)

That's finally the last of the birthday posts! :)
