Just June

 We made a fun ice cream bar cake for Dad to celebrate Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day Breakfast!

 We enjoyed hanging out at the Croatian Festival with our neighbors

Lucy won a huge raffle of gift cards at the big school ice cream social to wind up the year.

 I had the gang after school so we made some helicopters and raced them

 Of course playing in the neighbor's pool is a fun way to spend some time

 Jaydon and I participated in the Mother Son Wacky Golf tournament through our parks and rec. It was great!

 It is a 'golf' tournament where you use all kids of different equipment to get various balls in the holes

Early January

Happy New Year! We did our traditional ringing in of the new year by watching some other city light off their fireworks on our IPad and enjoying some sparkling cider. An earlyish bedtime as we are often tired by the end of winter break.

Lucy put together her horse mega block set that was a Christmas gift, she loves it.

 Lily was excited we made it back from vacation and that things were settling down, she was especially excited to have us go shopping and leave a bag for her to play with.

Princess...errr...I mean King Dad

 Facetiming with Granny and Papa to show them the cool circuit set that Jaydon got for Christmas.

We got some crickets from Uncles Jeff and Steve, we ate them. It was interesting.

Lucy did the above at school and the below at home mostly on her own

Lucy did all of these except the two on the bottom of the bottom pic, those were Kate.

Lucy colored the parrot at a restaurant and got to put her art on the wall, she was thrilled.

High School Harvest Party

 A local high school puts on a big harvest festival the Saturday before Halloween, the kids love going and playing all the games and eating their frosted cookie.

 They took a couple pics to send to us at the event

Face painting

Cookie decorating

Games and fun

After the event we headed to Grandma and Gram's Lucy and Kate did some raking but Kate was at it until it was dark and we had to call her in, she did not want to stop!
