There's always something to cheer about in July!

Our bleached out, tan little boy shows his Canadian Pride.

Mommy organizes and participates in the neighborhood garage sale.

It was not all in vain, several of the other homes participated and we sold quite a bit of stuff including our two double strollers and our triple stroller. Mommy later discovers that she really misses her multi kid strollers but its a single stroller life for us these days.

Lexi plays garage sale on the stairs.

Grandma and Grandpa came for a visit.

We catch Addi and Grandpa having a chat in the back yard, it leaves on to wonder what Addi is trying to talk Grandpa into this time.

Addi and Grandpa practice hitting the ball.

She does so well that she even hits the ball over the fence into the neighbors yard.

Practice pays off because at her Baseball game the next day she has her first hit! The the hits kept coming though out the rest of the season.

Lexi also had a turn at swinging a bat. This was her first year playing tee ball.

She liked hitting the ball, not so sure about playing the field.

Demolition of Addi's old school takes place.

The new school is getting closer to being compleated. A parking lot will be constructed in the place of the old school. The excitement and anticipation builds. We can't wait to see inside the new school.

Cousin Tate's Baptism.

Leighton went home and played "baptism" with her princess toy and a cup of water.

Playing continues through out the entire house.

Literally.
Toys have seem to take over every room of the house. The trade off is enjoying the moment that your kids are playing together AND getting along.

Deja Voo?

Leighton is still climbing into and being caught sitting naked the bathroom sink.

(Mommy shakes her head not knowing what the infatuation is all about)

Daddy's work sponsored International Dance Festival and so we were invited to a private dinner where they had some Polynesian danceres preform.

It made our hearts long for our island home.

Beating the HEAT!

Mommy and Daddy celebrate 13 years of wedding bliss doing something that has been on the to do list for quite a while.

Heise Zip Line.

Addi loses another tooth!

Lexi and Lei both learn how to ride a bike with training wheels.

Lexi can actually ride a bicycle without the training wheels, she has great balance and peddle coordination but she really struggles with the coordination to steer the bike.
