Father's Day Interview and Photos 2011

Anwyn, Lily, and Zach

This is our traditional "signs of love and photo" Father's Day card. The kids personalized their signs, and the photo shoot is always an interesting experience. Here are a few more candid shots:

 

 

It is fun to look back and see how the kids have grown over the years!

Google Doodles

Today I did a few songs using Google's Les Paul Doodle. This was probably Google's best Doodle yet, at least the one I enjoyed the most!

First Day, Last Day

 Anwyn has grown a lot this year and learned so much! 

Now...bring on the summer fun!

Kitty Cats at the Art Fair

Anwyn's elementary school hosted a fun Art Fair for the whole family. The school was turned into an open air museum with all of the students art work on display. There was also pizza, crafts, and a book fair. The girls favorite part was getting their faces painted.

Not a box

With the recent remodel of one of our bathrooms we have a few boxes hanging around. The kids have been making good use of them. After some cutting for windows and doors, as well as some decorating and adding of blankets, each child has their own cozy house.

Lily's house

Zach's house (Anwyn spent most of Sunday afternoon piecing the scraps together to make Zach his own house)

Zach loves to peek through the windows and drop things inside

They have been having so much creative fun with their houses, Jared suggested we just get everyone a box for next Christmas!
