Painting the town red?

Nope- the house beige.

We've been doing a lot of painting around here lately. I don't think any one of us has been thrilled (actually I did like smearing finger paint, even though K. wasn't too sure).

What's so funny?

Jonathan and Samantha came by this week, but I had a horrible migraine and had to go sleep it off so I missed the fun (boo!). I don't know who makes who giggle more, Kathryn or Unkie Johnny...

Buddies...

Here is a picture of me and Kathryn at our weekly play group (thanks, Jessie!). We love spending time with our little buddies and their parents! I am sooo bad about getting pictures of our friends on the blog, but we are lucky to have them anyway...
Also, our church had a (wonderfully refreshing) one-day women's retreat and since my buddies took this picture of me, I just had to document that sometimes I can be downright presentable.

Happy Father's Day

We went to the zoo for father's day this year. We thought Kathryn would really get a kick out of it since she loves animals so much. You never know with kids though- she liked it okay, but her favorite part was probably pushing her stroller around...



Striped Horses (well, close enough... the King Soopers horsey has made them her current animal obsession)
Birdwatching
Consoling the solemn orangutan... very sad
Learning about gorillas
and elephants
Djembe!She did like the "Olivias"
Check out our awesome hats from Auntie Jannie!Time to go already?!?Then we headed to Arvada for a little visit...

New Things...

Daily picnics
Her new best friend, ElmoBoo-boo
Two more teeth on bottomPicking out her own outfits
Learning to drink from a big cup... sort of...
Finding new places to play or just relax

Yee-oh-wee-a!

Kathryn LOVES reading. She also ADORES "Yee-oh-wee-a" (Olivia)- probably because they have so much in common!)...

Happy June! Here are just a few things we've been up to lately...

Picking Mommy her first flower (yes, I cried. leave me alone!)

Getting our Zen on- creating precious works of art... then clearing them right after!

Working on the house now and then

Hanging out at the local bars

Using the most stylish of sippy cups

Presenting fashion shows and dance recitals

Composing fugues

See that wild look in her eye? I sense a contrapuntal inversion coming on!

Reading up on Wii

(in Spanish, no less!)

Riding in style (she is SO much happier in the big-girl seat facing forward... I'm sure the cookie didn't hurt either... Thanks, H. for the photo!)
