Visit with Lindsay & Avery

Yesterday, cousin Avery and Lindsay paid us a visit! Ziga and Zala and I had a blast hanging out with them. Avery is getting to be such a big girl--sitting up, rolling all over the place, and I think she and Zala will be good buds soon!

Random Stuff & the Pool

Here's some pics! We had the first family trip to the pool last night. We had a great time!


All the way in!

Zala loved the zero entry part of the pool

I've been working on my natural light shots....

Ziga braving the water.....

I made large black backdrop on Fri. night--this is testing it out.

She was making Ziga and I laugh a lot with this one....

Sunday

We had the Sykes family over for an expertly grilled (not) dinner last night. Here are a few pics.

The boys played baseball

Who's that sneaking a bite of brownie to Zala?

She's bold.......

Buds Jack and Ziga

Zala's 3rd Word

Zala started saying "mama" a few months ago and I believe has been saying "Ziga" recently as well. A few days ago, she learned "uh-oh". I think it's because she has a big brother :)

Funny Hair

Zala woke up with the cutest hair this morning--I just had to snap a few.

Playdate at Schoneman's

I took the kids over to Heather's (and Emily's, and Mark's) today for a playdate. The kids got along great, despite Ziga accidentally slamming the door on Emily's foot 2 minutes after we arrived. Zala put everything she could think of in her mouth and I am praying that nobody catches her annoying cold virus. We had a great time--thanks Heather for lunch and a great day!

Playdate at Schoneman Home

Memorial Day Weekend

We had a pretty low-key weekend. We went down to Pittsburg for the day on Saturday but since the kids were feeling pretty yucky we didn't spend the night. It was great to see everyone though! They napped most of the day on Sunday and today Janez came home from work and worked some more, on our pond. More on that later. Pain in the you-know-what.

Getting some fresh air on the porch

Metal-detecting. Didn't find money, but did find a doorknob.

Busted!

Poor Janez and the never-ending Pond Project. Ziga did a great job supervising.

Our garden, that Janez planted 2 weeks ago, is already sprouting lettuce! And yes, that is an Elmo scarecrow against the fence. Janez's ability to think outside the box never ceases to amaze me!
