It's so nice to grow up with cousins. We're so lucky that Amos and Lyra live close enough to have a lot of play dates with us.
This crew knows how to have a good time! Sure, they have their battles, but there is a lot of love here. Yesterday, June and Amos were playing chase and I guess it got a little heated. June took Amos by the shoulders and said, "Amos, chill off." We adults weren't quite sure what "chill off" means, but Amos got it.
This was supposed to be a picture marking a glorious new day for Winnie. Big girl panties! Sadly, our attempt was a flop. It was a day plagued with accidents, tears spilt over a poopie Ariel, and loads of laundry. I'm sorry, but training June was so awful, I don't know if I have it in me to start it all over again with Winnie right now. Maybe when it warms up and she can just run around in panties.
On Saturday, we had a wonderful day at the park with the Ivies. It was so warm and sunny, we packed a picnic and played all day!
June loves to mother all the children. And although Lyra has a lot of spunk and a mind of her own, she doesn't mind playing the role of Mother June's baby doll.
This particular park, Mitch Park, has an awesome skate park that Amos insisted we check out. We sat in the bleachers and witnessed some amazing tricks by the high school punks who were more than willing to show off! The next time we go, however, I think we will have to bring earplugs. Those high school punks and their potty mouths! Curt was so funny, he made all the kids promise that they wouldn't start smoking or saying the F word if they wanted to come back.
I think June just needs to say no to crack!
Curt is such a good uncle. He helped June do a little boarding on the way back to the car.
We also had a great time at cousin Charlie's second birthday party. Can you guess theme? That's right partner, it was a cowboy party. Here's Sheriff Winnie saying "Cheese," with a mouth full of it!
June and Kiki love to get together. There's just something about playing with older kids that thrills the heck out of Junie.

ha! did you forget to mention that Curt was one of the HS skater punks using the F word? lol. yes... we need to live near e/o. one day... one day...
I love that pic of Winnie by the bleachers - she looks beautiful. And I love the one of June's butt crack... looks like someone takes after her momma. ;) As for Grandma Sarah's candy, I thinks he bought it all back in 1953 and she has it buried in the backyard. She digs some up whenever her supply gets low.
It always makes my day to hop on the blog and read your new postings. Those little faces are the sunshine in my day. Love Nana Deb
I was hoping to see some pictures of Curt doing some 360- grabs- you must have left those out for publicity reasons hu? I too love mitch park. We were there on Sat. as well flying a kite but it was when we were supposed to be at the party so we just missed you guys
You guys are SO lucky to have each other.
Oh the dreaded potty training- We are working with Dewie too, its funny because her reward for doing her business is a good strong flush of the toilet. She is a pooping pro on the pot- she'll even stop playing or eating to go...but she could careless about tinkling- she'll sog up a diaper until it's drooping to her knees before she'll stop for a change. I'm almost convinced it's easier to just leave them in diapers as long as possible. You're little girlies sure look beautiful in those pics - we miss them!
