Uncle Duck

Uncle Duck moved back from California a while back.

He loves kids.

And they love him back!

We're so glad your part of our lives Uncle Duck!

(er, don't mind the little guy digging for gold in the background...he loves Uncle Duck too!)

Pickin' Strawberries

The other day we went strawberry pickin'.

You really can't beat eating strawberries right off the vine.

For the next few days we had pancakes with strawberries, french toast with strawberries, strawberry shortcake, ice cream with strawberries, just plain ol' strawberries, and we made strawberry jam.

Run, Run, Run

Run,

Run,

Run,

As fast as you can.

You can't catch me,

I'm the ginger bread man!

A Day at the Lake

We spent Mother's Day at the lake.

Ten minutes after we got there it started to rain.

So we stayed at the dock and ate guacamole and chips. (My mom loves color and jewelry which is a good thing considering her Mother's Day gift.)

The rain finally stopped so we put C in his little itty bitty life jacket.

Going out on the boat in a straight jacket wasn't his cup of tea.

So C and I stayed at the dock while everyone else went for a ride.  I have to say the dock was a good option since N was driving AND looking at the camera.

S finally decided to try her hand at the wheel.  She even pulled into the boat slip with no help from Grandpa.  I'm not sure I could do that.

Here are my sister and her "little boy" hanging out with my two oldest after a lovely day on the lake...rain and all.
