Summer Fun

We have had a lot of adventures this summer. Phoebe has been taking care of her own flowers in the flower garden. She got the seeds for her birthday from a friend and has done a great job growing them. Our library has this big chair in the children's section and I couldn't resist getting a picture of the kids in it. The last picture is of the kids at a soda fountain that is just down the street from our house. We took Kenny for ice cream on Father's Day and the clerk gave us all these hats, though the kids were the only ones brave enough to wear them. Abbiyah didn't like them at all.

Crazy Creatures

We have had several animal friends around the house this summer. Forest has some sort of inch worm on his arm. These things look crazy when they crawl. Very cool. Abbigail and Abbiyah tormented our dog by dressing him up in their own dress up clothes. Baxter was not impressed....Forest found this frog (or is it a toad?) at Will Rogers park. It was so fun watching him trying to catch it. He chased it for awhile before he was able to get a hold of it. We had a lot of fun that day walking on trails and crossing bridges("How romantic" as my Abbigail would say) and walking through flower gardens... Phoebe is holding a jar with a caterpillar that we had hoped would turn into a butterfly...sadly we found Catti on the floor one morning half mutilated. Maybe next year...

Birthdays

Here are some pictures from the kids birthdays. Forest turned 6 in April. We went to Lake Hefner to fly kites. It got to windy and then started raining so we went for pizza instead.

Abbigail and Phoebe share a birthday. Theirs was back in May. Abbigail turned 9 and Phoebe turned 4. As you can see, Abbigail was more than a little excited to get an mp3 player.
