These next two were taken a month and a half ago. I don't know why they never made into a previous blog post, but oh well, they are here now.

This is the ever popular, "eww, my wife just tooted!" face
I'm a little disappointed in this face, it's just not very creative. I know I can do better!
When told to make a silly face for the camera, Ayden struck a pose which included his hands as well as his tongue.
This is Anna's silly face. What it lacks in silliness it makes
up for in cuteness.
♫ "Ladies with an attitude
Fellows that were in the mood
Don't just stand there, let's get to it
Strike a pose, there's nothing to it
Vogue!" ♪
And now, presenting The Top Dog of Tomfoolery!
The Master of Madness!
The Ace of Absurdity!
The Star of Silliness Himself:
Mr. Eric Knepprath and his marvelous impersonation of a bug on a windshield!
I got super lucky and got this great picture of Ayden when he didn't hold his silly face long enough and my little camera took longer to take the picture than it was supposed to.

Two weeks ago, the kids and I went to the park with my Papa and step-mom, Susan.
Ayden's first order of business was to rope his Uncle Boyd into
pushing him on the swings
Anna made sure the slide was up to snuff
Papa was the official catcher
Grandma Susan helping her climb back up to the top of the slide the hard way
Anna and Grandma Susan conquer the BIG slide together
Drats! Sand in the shoes is the worst!
And more sand in the shoes. It was never ending! Now I really appreciate the newer parks that have bark rather than sand.

Last week the kids and I went to the Boise Zoo with Aunt Jen, Makiah, Josiah, and Isaiah. It was our second time visiting the zoo this year, but the first time we really got to play with all the new stuff. Last time we went, if you'll recall, a bunch of the area elementary schools were having field trips that day.

Last Saturday, we went to Settler's Park to help celebrate cousin Jade's birthday. Ayden hadn't played in the water portion of the park since '07 and it was Anna's very first time! The weather was not the best, it was in the 70's, overcast, and a little breezy but I brought the kids' water gear anyway.
Ayden and cousin Toby got right to it
He was soon cold, though, and opted to get dressed
and play on the playground instead

Nothin' like havin' a wedgie at the park. Sometimes you just gotta take care of business, though, ya know?
Still battling that darn wedgie
Isn't her new outfit the cutest!
She finally started flirting with the water
And then running away (it was so cute!)
I thought it would be too cold for her, but I didn't want her to get her outfit wet, so I finally relented and put her in her swimsuit.
Boy, was I wrong! She absolutely loved playing in the water
and got right in it.
and got right in it.
The birthday girl, Jade
This is such a cute picture of the two of them. That's just a cute little stranger in the background, though
Anna finally did get cold. After getting re-dressed, she wandered around the park with Grandma and Levi
Levi reminds me of Little Bear in this picture
