Out and about

A couple of fun pictures from the last week or two.

June and Jeff enjoying the sprinkler on our first 90 degree day. (Please pardon the dandelion graveyard)

June hanging out in in her tutu at Grandma and Grandpa Montzka's house.

And my favorite, the screen window shot. I was standing at he kitchen sink and June and Jeff were checking on me. Luckily she stayed there long enough for me to grab the camera.

Weird.

Fun With New Camera!

Story time under the apple tree.

Beautiful (more wind please)

"Ha, Ha, Ha, It's so funny when you wedge me into a tree Auntie Gayle"

Pretty Girl.


Woo Hoo!

Life is good.

We had a fun week with June AND the new camera. It is just so nice to take pictures now.

Dad and Dianne's apple tree was in full bloom, which was so beautiful to see. Grandpa Hyde hung out with June on Saturday, while Gayle and I had kind of a girls day. Manicure and movie. We decided it should definitely be a monthly thing (I "accidentally" typed weekly first, go figure)

Mother's Day (New Camera!)

Enjoying the view.

Trying to talk Archie out of jumping.
(I just noticed, Rosie is seriously close to the edge! Don't do it Rosie! We love you!)

Enjoying the fruits of her labor! (Thanks Auntie Gayle)

I had a great Mother's Day this year! We went to my mom's and had lunch and made cupcakes with Auntie Gayle.
Then we went out to Carl and Lorna's and had a nice dinner.
I love being June's mom, I'm so proud of her. How did I get so lucky?
I got a new camera for Mother's Day (probably should be for Birthday and Christmas too), so I was excited to take some pictures of June! I love how crisp everything is! Big improvement wouldn't you say? I have to thank my friend Mia for recommending the camera and lens, I wouldn't have thought to do it if she hadn't set such a great example!
Thank you for the camera Jeff!

Easter

The finished product

Action shot

Well, I think June is sold on the whole Easter idea.

She loved the candy, the eggs, the baskets, the hunt.

This was her first real candy encounter, so needless to say, any other food is way down on the totem pole now!

I never understood what the point of Hollow Easter Bunnies was. Hollow? What a let down.

But as a parent, you look at it completely differently! Thank goodness for hollow bunnies! Who needs a solid chocolate bunny in addition to all of that other candy?

Jeff and I had to sneak candy away from her as it is! No, you always had only 3 jelly beans in your basket June, you're crazy.

We did an egg hunt over at my Dad's on Saturday morning and then we did a second at my Mom's on Easter. June really understood the concept of finding them, which was cool. She had so many eggs, she was dragging her basket along behind her! Every once in a while, she'd lose an egg from her basket, and turn around and see it, thinking "Cool, another one!"

She didn't like her dress or shoes much, she kicked and screamed and rolled around on the ground. I suppose we all feel like that some days.......

Gale Wood Farm

A couple of weekends ago I took June to see the Farm Babies at a farm near our house.

Unfortunately, we were a wee bit early and there were no babies yet, just some VERY prego pigs and sheep.

Two big pigs lying there, panting, looking about ready to pop! I feel your pain ladies!

So no pictures of the pigs, out of respect. Interesting bit of info, they build special crate/beds for the pigs to keep them from rolling over and squashing their babies!

June did enjoy the chickens, they let her pet one, and she got to feed the sheep.

Another bit of info, sheep don't have bottom teeth, which they told me after my question about potential bite on little soft June hands! Don't worry lady, just let her feed the stupid sheep!

It was a gorgeous day, before the weather turned sour on us again. They had a maple grove where you can drink sap fresh out of the tree. We didn't try that, maybe next time.

Yeah Spring!

Who needs directions?

Jeff and June put together a little closet storage system last week. June was so eager and happy to help, Jeff and I considered taking it apart that night, just so we could do it again the next day with her. It went pretty well, but she kept wanting to climb in and on the silly thing, which was unfortunately not built to handle even her petite little frame.

I never really saw it until now, but it kind of looks like she's the missing 5th Beatle or something with that hair. At least it's long enough for some pigtails now!

Oh June......

We had a fun week, an unexpected snowfall, an unexpected self-motivated potty training attempt (she just started pulling her pants down and wanted to go sit on the toilet. She wanted to walk around the house with her pants around her ankles, must be because she sees Dad do it.

Netflix anyone?) And hanging with her friend Gavin yesterday. She followed him around all afternoon, trying to do everything he did. That's our girl!
