A Few Miscellaneous...

I have been too lazy to put any pictures up, in addition to the fact that we haven't taken too many lately.

I didn't get too many pictures of Fathers Day, unfortunately. Didn't even get a picture of Tim. It was at Todd and Amys this year. Everyone brought something. It was an Italian theme. Amy prepared stuffed chicken breasts and pasta, Sandra brought an orzo salad. By the way, I highly recommend this salad. Jeff and Susie brought the fondue and I brought mozarella sticks and gelato and ice cream.

Hunter was able to perform some tricks for us, including somersaults and cartwheels.

Jeff is working on the fondue pot, which is malfunctioning.

A Very Special Niece Visiting

Suzanne is here for a week from North Carolina to see us and attend our Post Falls Convention. We are so happy to have her!

Memorial Day Weekend

Over Memorial Day weekend some of Tim's cousins came over - some he and his siblings had met once or so, and some that had never met. Lots of table talk and stories flew across the table as everyone became acquainted. Lots of fun!







Yes, we had rain and Tim was out barbequing in a downpour!

Can't resist this picture of the boys.




It was Grandpa's 89th birthday and he wanted a flag to put out on his little patio.

Great Aunt Darlene and Hunter spending some quality time.

Hunter's 4th Birthday

Here's some pictures of Hunter's 4th birthday and the fun we had helping him celebrate. The second picture is Jeff on his 4th birthday. He got a fishing pole and had fun reeling various people in, including Uncle Todd.

Hunter Rides A Bike!

Can you believe this little guy, who is not quite 4 years old, is riding a bike with no training wheels? Wow!

My Mother's Day Flowers

Tim came home today with two gorgeously huge hanging baskets of flowers for me for Mother's Day. They are simply beautiful and I am usually too cheap to invest in flowers this nice, instead planting a few little puny flowers which take half the summer to develop into anything much. So I am very tickled to get these.

Baby Lamb

I finally finished this baby lamb. I say baby lamb because he is a little wobbly standing up. This isn't the best picture, either, but you get the idea. Fun and easy to make, it just took me awhile since I didn't keep at it.

Some miscellaneous weekend pictures

I hit it lucky at a garage sale this weekend and got all this Thomas the Train track and miscellaneous stuff to go with it. He has really enjoyed it. I also got a Leap Frog device with five different books to go with it.

The other picture is a little bathroom remodel we have been doing - repainting and putting down a new floor. The shells we picked up down in San Luis at the ocean.

New Adirondack Chair

Tim has had a yen to make an Adirondack chair for a long time. His latest woodworking video had a pattern and a tutorial. Here's the result! It is super comfortable. It is for grandpa at his assisted living home. Grandpa has a patio right outside where he can enjoy the spring weather and watch the schoolkids at recess just a stone's throw away.

Box Fun

Is there anything more fun to a kid than a box? This is the box from our new washing machine. Hunter is here for "two weeks", he says, really two nights!

Lamb

Don't you just love this little guy? I noticed him right away while browsing on a blog and since Ben and Carissa have been taking care of a lamb, I decided I ought to make him. Now to find the yarn... You can find the pattern here.
