Happy Birthday!

Emilia celebrated her 2nd birthday!
Princess Emilia greeting her guests.
Emi loves The Little Einsteins!
Daddy sure knows how to entertain.

She sang "Happy Day tooo youu!"
The bouncy castle gave us a bit of trouble...but we still had fun.



Happy Birthday Little Princess!
We Love YOU!!

Now Reporting Live from Eugene!

News Anchor Matt Templeman was kind enough to give us a tour of the KMTR TV Station.
Have to admit seeing my kids next to that many important looking buttons made me a bit anxious...
The Green Screen was pretty cool!

Pay no attention to the disembodied blonde head and alien arm hovering over Eugene...
KMTR's after naptime news crew!
News Anchors Carter, Emilia & Jessie.
Weatherman Gavin and Sports with Holland!
Now to Emilia with her breaking story on toddler social injustices.
Gavin's weather report "Cloudy."
Goodnight, and Goodluck.

Berry Picking!

Took the kids berry picking. Blueberries, raspberries, & marionberries. Yum!
Gavin & Emilia were excellent berry pickers.
However I don't believe any of the berries they picked ended up in the baskets...



Berry Crisps, Berry Muffins, Berry Pies!

4th of July

On the 4th of July I ran the Butte to Butte, a 10 k with a bit of a hill...
Ammon brought the kids to meet me at the finish line.
Lisa, Rachel, Jen, Emilia, Mom.
Gavin ran through the finish line with me!!
Noni, Gavin, Papa, Emi.
Proud finishers-Wendy, Kelly, Dad, Mom, Tugaw, Gavin, Rachel, Me, Lisa, Heather.
Miss Emilia on the 4th of July.
Had to include this...I tend to think I don't take enough pictures of Gavin at events like these. He was playing "Monster" in the Ball Pit with his buddies Tyler, Jared & Kyle. I was interupting the game by trying to take a couple of pictures...you can see how pleased Gavin is with my intrusion...."Mom! Shut the door! The MONSTER will get OUT!!"
Emi the Tiger waiting to pounce.
Traditional 4th of July Sombrero.
Happy 4th of July!!
