And let this be a warning....!!!

Much to our dismay we awoke Friday morning to find an anonymous culprit had not only trespassed onto private property, but had also let some very unwanted... poop in the lawn and flower garden. So, Andrew decided to take matters into his own hands. He made a sign. He did not want to merely leave it in the front yard, he wanted to hold it (so the dogs and cats could see it).


The sign says: "Dog / Cat -Stop- Not a Bathroom"

Memorial Day at the lake

Auntie Sarah came to visit for the weekend, from BYU-Idaho. We had a great time and enjoyed the perfect weather at Lake Lowell.

BATMAN!!!

Na Na Na Na... BATMAN....BATMAN!!! Andrew loves being a super hero, and is an especially good helper when he is- because "that's what Batmans do!" He loves showing off his batman cape and saying "to the bat cave!" as he runs to his room!

Just a little chalk on the driveway

This is spiderman (obviously). Andrew was very pround of his artwork.

Natalia and her Daddy!

Natalia follows her Daddy around when ever she can. As soon as he comes home from work she gets very excited, starts saying "Dadda, Dadda!" and runs to greet him. If he is sitting down, she'll sit, if he lays down, she'll lay, if he eats something, she wants it too. I am so glad she has such a wonderful father to look up to!

Natalia loves talking on the phone. Whenever anyone picks up the phone to talk she puts her hand to her ear and says "hi" and usually waves too!

Straight from Kauai

Andrew and Natalia's grandma and grandpa recently returned from a vacation to Kauai! They brought their grandkids these adorable Hawaiian clothes! Thanks grandma and grandpa!

Fun in the Sun!

Natalia is eating by herself!!!

I couldn't help putting this on! Natalia has been trying to use a fork for quite some time, I just never let her- always so sure she'll fling her food around and make a mess. Well, today she did it!

Father's and Son's Outing

These pictures are from Father's and Son's camp out organised by our ward. Raja & Andrew had a blast. They spend one night out in Succer Creek in Oregon. Andrew said he wants to hike and Raja took him with his buddies to the nearest cave. Eventhough, middle of hike Andrew kept saying 'i can't do it' but Garry and Travis kept encourage him to climb upto the top and see the cave. When they went to top of the cave, it was full of geos. Andrew was exited to collect the geos but when we trying to come down to the base, he had to throw those geos away because he could not slide down without getting loosing control.


Andrew was throwing stones out of this bridge into the stream and coming back to pick some more. He had fun doing this. In fact most of the boys started doing that with the big stones. When they dropped a big stone into the stream, it make a huge splash and all the kinds got wet. This was the game for most of the kids. Since Andrew cannot carry those big stones, he carried small ones to throw. (it was so easy for him get entertained from small event...!)

This is our van and where we slept.....
Andrew was still sleeping inside the tent....
Hiking to the top of the cave...(Andrew thought it was batman's cave...!)

The Library's Children's Day

The library had a children's day to promote reading. There were booths and games and even free books. It was great! There were also several celebrities there- as you can see in a few of the pictures below!

Cinco de Mayo

Cinco de Mayo is a great excuse to get together. Some friends got together to eat mexican food and play! Raja got the lucky job of holding the pinata- he did great! Andrew was the one who finally broke it open- I told him that means he's really stong.

He agreed and said- yeah, strong like my dad!

(Natalia is at the bottom of the picture wearing green.) She loves being were the action is!

Summer Time Is Here!!!!

Finally, summer is here - or at least we hope so, with cold snaps popping in randomly, we have had a very touch and go kind of spring. So, for at least today, the weather is great, the sun is shinning, and we're filling up the pool!

Andrew's Deal

I also need to add, that while we were swimming Andrew asked me to get his quarter that he had thrown into the grass. I asked him if I got it, if I could have it. He said, "Yeah, you can have it, sure!... you can put it in my piggy bank if you like!"

So generous.
