Pictures....

Now for the picture deluge...

Tian and Trace having fun with a cell phone they stole from their brother...

Tom bravely taking both out on the canoe - Ty is swimming
Tian swinging
I don't even know what Ty is doing here...I think the water is coming out his ears...

Tian,Ty and Trace feeding the goats at the zoo in Omaha

Tom - could this be a bad American commercial?-

eating a King King burger big enough for2 or 3 people

Ty tested for high Yellow belt - he passed.

Grant Germaine is one of the judges and assists Ty in breaking a board
Trace making sure he isn't missing anything

Could a birthday end any better - Ariel doll, Ariel sheets.... The babies attacking my in Tom's parents' pool

Riding the Gorillas at the Omaha zoo Trace wondering what strange American custom this is

Tian hamming it up over her new Ariel bathing suit - which she wore for a week straight with cowboy boots...

Empress Tian - regal as only she can be :o)
We had cake at the pool - where else would one have a mermaid party? We made a castle cake and I let (okay, she made me) Tian decide how and help decorate it

Ummm...did I mention she doesn't really have ... the manners of an Empress...I am ashamed to say her little brother is much, much much worse. We are thinking of feeding with his chair in the middle of a wading pool

It was a fun weekend- we canoed here at home, got some weeding done, I cleaned off my desk ( an Oympic feat) and actually enjoyed some nice, barely humid, weather. TJ had to work most of Saturday and Trev was up at camp Mitigwa working on service hours required for the Order of he Arrow. odd, it was such a peaceful day ( you connect the dots :o)

We cooked over an open fire Sunday night, we even made non-burned popcorn and dreamed of our someday deck and patio. We avoided any trip to the ER for over a week- does life get any better ?!?
