Sleeping Beauties.......

On a rare day off for Dad, it is pretty easy to know just how he and Lilly will be spending their time!

The Race is On......

Even Cousin Dawson joined the racing summer this fun.  The three cousins medaled away at not one, but two different races!

Construction Site

Not only are Gamma and Pop Pop coming to visit, they even sent a package to keep us busy until they arrive!  The girls decided to put their construction skills to the test with some mini-tools and kid-sized birdhouse kits.  Needless to say, this not so handy Mom was pretty impressed with the teamwork and talent of her two little builders!

A Day to Remember

We began the Summer Bucket List kick-off with a trip to Pendleton with a group of our best friends!  Starting at the Eastern Oregon Museum for Children, the Mom's were treated to Pizza, Pioneers and a ton of amazing Pretend Play.    Then it was off to one of our favorite water parks for some splashing and smiles, before heading back to Enterprise with some very tired kids in tow..........

A Nice COLD Dip!

Out on an early morning hike, hoping to catch a rare glimpse of the baby fox, the Lyman and Weer kiddos decide to brave the ice cold mountain run-off with a quick dip in the creek!  Much braver than their older and wiser parents, it became a full-body adventure for our eldest, and a brief toe-dipping for the younger two.  However, it seems the mountain waters brought us a bit of luck, for a few baby foxes were spotted on the trip back to the car.

Tiny Dancer

After 8-weeks of pirouettes and re laves it was time for the big recital.  While the nutcracker won't be calling anytime soon, it was quite the performance for these Wallowa County ballarinas!  Thanks to their amazing teachers for this wonderful opportunity for our small town kiddos.

How Can You Possibly Say No?!?!?!

When one of my students asked if they could give the girls a stuffed moose, how could I possibly say no?!?!  Perhaps I should have been warned that this wasn't your average little, old stuffed animal!
