More June

Every June Shad and I have this tradition of entering the valley 52 hour photo contest where you run around the valley trying to find the best picture and then enter two.  We have never won but we've sold more than the winners (they put them in a tent at the summer arts fair after the contest).  Does that count for something?  The thrill of the chase and time together beats any $250 prize right!

Then we put up a booth and sell photos at the art show.  Shad here is helping me set up.  He is quite a trooper.  I'm blessed to have such a great son!

Here are some shots of the booth

 Mastered that toy

 Wrestling... Keare seeing that her buddy seems to be on the bottom is headed to get some artillery to help...

 Headed out on a date and Kaera doesn't seem to be pleased with dad's hair help...

June

Unfortunately a neighbor saw that Kaera liked to shop and loaned us this extremely dangerous toy!

 Kvinde feeling a little under the weather...

 This is what we were greeted with on the way to church!Must have been quite a night.

 Sure makes dad happy to see his favorite women getting along so well!

 Buddies!

Here is our sweetie sleeping

 I had a conference somewhere and Raeghn/Kaera came with me.

 I'm holding my breadth that she'll like photography so she can carry my gear around when I'm old.

 Some funny signs on our travels.

 A good reminder for us and Wayne

 I'm the laugh one!

 Here is Raeghn's room mate from college that happens to live where we went (CA I believe).

Goings on around Mother's day time of the year

Tons to catch up on!  I'm sitting in a hotel in Adelaide Australia and trying to use my down time to get some pictures posted.

Shad and I made Raeghn Breakfast for Mother's Day.  She deserves it!  She's super.

Kaera is a cutie.

Raeghn said she'd push me around in Ikea if I'd go with her so I took her up on the offer.  I'm sitting on a cart and taking a picture in the expensive mirror.

 You have to know the story on this one.  The calico mother lost her kittens and now she's stealing the babies from the white mother.  Next picture shows that she won.  It has been interesting to watch the wrestle.

Here is evidence that we have the best wife/mother in the world!  She let us put a hoop up in the living room!  We had some great games in there until it broke (I shouldn't have slammed it -10.5' high BTW).

 Guess which pizza the kids got Friday night?  wrong!

 Kaera and the boys reading.

Kids around the house

 Kaera loves going golfing in the living room.

 Post-nap hair has a natural feel that can't be created artificially!

 Texting the ladies I believe. 

 

Love that towel.  No one wears it better!

 Looking a little saucy here!  Must lock her in the attic (see Tangled) for at least 20 years.

 Likes basketball like her dad!

 This is Shad and Raeghn helping at the neighbors redo their floors.  They took off about 4 layers of old glued down floor.  Quite a work out!

 Kaera is making a call to a friend on her dad's (my) huge engineering calculator.  Great reception.

 Kvinde in the sunlight.

Kvinde and Dad out to the movies.  Great times together. 

My girl dragging me to a desired treat in the food pantry.

Raeghn, Kaera and I out at the Citrus and Sage Cafe having their incredible crepes. A great date Friday night.
