Graduation

OK, so this actually happened two weeks ago, but I am finally getting around to posting Bix' preschool graduation.
Ready for the last day of school.

Remember the first one?

Fi was ready to go too. (She is the same age as Bix in the previous picture)

A little celebration for the little "graduates." The whole family was there.

A balloon release, with a prayer before. Our sweet Bix took to her knees.

There they go!

Fi kept a close eye on the whole affair.

A cupcake and a juice box to top it all off.

Bix straining to keep smiling for the camera.

Bix' first school friend.

Remember them?! So grown up now.

One last smile with Mrs. Castleman.  We love her!

Busy Days

The girls are on the go all the time.  Even now as Daddy is "trying" to put them to bed...they never seem to stop.  Lately, the big activity has been riding bikes.
Fi is still trying to figure out the whole helmet thing.

we are also trying to teach her that flat is better.

I don't think she cares.

Bix is two-wheelin'.

Feeling free.

A Good Day

Is always had at Stacey and Andy's place.
Swimming.

Eating.

Chillin'.

Play Date

Duets by Cash and Fi.

Arts and crafts for the big kids.

Big fun all around!

Then We Were at the Lake

Where cousin Archie was waiting for us!

We celebrated mommy's birthday with the family.

Smiles all around.

Of course there was lots of "lake time"!

Aye-Aye Captain Bix

So fun to be on the boat!

The wind through our hair.

Fi wasn't sure if she wanted to get back in.

Archie thought this was a chair designed for him.

 Thumbs up from Bix.

We also hit the beach while we were there.

 Fi had fun making sandcastles.

Bix was quite proud of her "seahorse cake"

After all that sun, Fi needed a break under the kitchen table.

More lake time...plus cheese balls?! No wonder the big smiles.

More swimming!

Ice cream for breakfast?! Only at the lake...

Poppo needed a massage after all that boating.  Fi to the rescue.

So sad to leave, but we'll be back later this summer.

Where Have We Been?

Gone Fishin'

Sorry We Haven't Posted

Mommy has been busy.

The girls have been too.  Though these shots are a bit blurry...this is the conga line at the Elvis-impersonator concert.

While not the ocean, the fountains made everyone happy.

The girls even had a picnic.  Is the inside of the van really that different than a beach experience?
