Father's Day

 Molly and Marshall working on their art projects for Daddy and PawPaw

 

 Opening his present from Molly...

 A red tuna painting!

 Molly thinks in addition to Daddy's fishing shirt club, he should also sell shirts to actual fish...

 

 We celebrated with PawPaw, too!

 This is the best picture I could get of PawPaw and the grand-kids.

Last Day of Kindergarten

 Molly, Saul and Natalie waiting at the bus stop on the last day of school. 

Can you tell they are a *little* excited?

 Marshall sitting with the big kids...

 

 This picture of Marshall walking back to the house is not the best quality, but I just love how tiny he looks...

The Rest of June

This month we celebrated Cyndal's birthday at Ninfa's downtown where we've celebrated many family birthdays over the years.

 

These two pictures are of our waitress, Tina, this year and back in 2005 when we celebrated Paul's birthday.

 

Molly and her Auntie

 

 

 Nothing better than family time and Fun Dip in the pool!

 We had another fun week of VBS at Grace this year. Our church moved VBS to "Prime Time" in the evenings so that families can attend together.

 

Molly sang karaoke and spanked everyone in the hoola-hooping contest!

 Choo Choo!

 Molly and her dragon-loving BFF, Leelu

 Sweaty kids enjoying a lovely muggy afternoon outside.

*notice the blue strand in Molly's hair? 

She's been wanting to get some feathers, and when her great-grandma taughter her how to crochet in Arizona, they made this chain together, which Molly decided was a beautiful hair accessory.

Arizona Trip June 2011

 In June the kids and I flew out to Arizona to spend the week with family and celebrate Cousin Xavier's 1st Birthday.

 Swimming at the Matwick's

 Me and my water babies

 Swimming at Aunt JoAnn's... Marshall was in LOVE with the monster school bus from Tirscha.

Tiana's baby shower was the same weekend, so we got to celebrate baby Khloea with family 

after the shower, it was right back to Aunt JoAnn's pool... Molly and Sara enjoyed their time together!

 

 Molly & Marshall wrestling at Dom & Shannon's house

 PopPop treated us to a delicious dinner at our favorite pizza place, Flordino's.

 Back to the Matwick's to celebrate Xavier's First Birthday...

cousins goofin' around in the pool...

 

 This is how Marshall spent 4 hours of the party...

 

 

 The swimming continued at Grandma and Grandpa's house and the kids loved it even though their pool is a little smaller than the others...

 Molly and the orange tree that she planted as a seed several years ago.

I think it will finally be taller than her on our next trip to Arizona.

 Molly wanted Grandma to teach her how to crochet

We've already booked our tickets to Arizona for Christmas and can't wait to see the family and play in some snow this time around!
