Eyes for Mom
I love this age! Just when I feel someone is staring at me and I look up... this is what I see!
My 4 month old big boy- fitting best in 12 month old clothes!
Joshes former Chinese teacher came by to visit last month- she was really surprised by lots of things- big sibling helpers, no sock wearing (in 85 degree weather), homemade bread & beer etc.
we do tend to invoke a high shock factor :)
Happy Birthday Dass!
Dass turned 5 in June- after I posted our month's pics :)
She finally got her own Barbie.
What to do with a broken cd player?? Let's see how it's made!
(after two weeks of radio parts in buckets I finally had to throw it in the trash :)
Most days after lunch- how does it get this bad??
Order of events: eat lunch, take a picture, take a nap, clean it up :o)
Our good friends Justin & Natalie before they headed back to the States to get married!!
me & "broady"
This is one of my favorite all time meals. It doesn't look awesome, but it is a treat to the taste buds! Salmon patties w/ baked potato & sweet carrots- topped w/ a nice cold glass of fresh milk from the farm. Mmm.

Happy 4th of July!!!
3 families took a trip to a local park for some 4th of July kickball fun.
new friends
sweet grandma
Even after living here for lots of years- things still surprise me!
These ladies were exercising like this- walking like an animal across the field with rubber gloves on! Maybe it's worth a try!
smile baby
Dads in the outfield
Kickball has got to be the best game there is.
Olivet disagrees.
Caedmon is intense like his pops. I love it.
Contemplative Dass
Goofy Viv
Playful Obs
What a crew!
Our little friend Sarah
She came over to play her pipa- here is her attentive audience
Yes! Hot pot noodles!
Viv has been making this face when she thinks really hard. Who does she get that from??
Chunky Legs- these are from me!
Si si & August (Si si just LOVES babies)

Happy Birthday To Me! I got a new, turbo powered blow drier! And some awesome yummy treats from the kids. My family knows the way to my heart- anything practical and anything chocolate!
My request for my birthday: a family hike!
(not sure why I am posting this inappropriate picture- the kids got a kick out of it)
We drove up to a park in the mountains. It was gorgeous out!
I love how the kids "come alive" in nature
exploring
looking for bugs
Go Badgers!
Where is everyone going?
I'll just chill out over here...
making our own path
we just got a little wet- the rain didn't last long!
let's see where this will take us!
I love this amazingly beautiful soil
On the way back we found some pretty cute mini pinecones
At first Olivet wasn't a huge fan of this carrier, but in the end, she didn't want to get out!
Thanks family for a fun Birthday!
Our friends the Greene's spent the day with us on their way to America-
we had a fun day eating, playing, and catching up!
Sweet August

Curious Olivet
Smiley Gus
A whole box of grapes from our neighbor who's a pilot. YUM!
Smile if you love your mom!
Happy Birthday to Olivet!!!
Olivet turned 2 at the end of July
The sign said, "Princess Party." There was no party but there was a princess! As long as it's pink- does it really matter?!
a puppy dog!
Our friend Wendy visited us for about 3 days and brought Olivet a sweet gift-
adorable homemade shoes!
She also made Olivet these yummy brownies for her birthday treat!
Lots of sweets in July!
