Mid thought on a dirt road!

WOOOHAAAAAAA

Double WOOOHAAAAA!

Acapella

Story: so on a lovely Saturday evening, after dinner, the child-folk are slightly agitated and fussy, and Ma & Pa decide to do a little divide and conquer with Daddy taking Callie and Mommy taking Mishka. To calm the littler little one down, Daddy did some singing while changing Callie's diaper and clothes, and Callie did enjoy the serenade...what we did not notice was Mishka, who was also putting on her pajamas, dancing around hard core to Daddy singing. This video was from a few minutes later :)

Summertime pics via the sunday morning blitz

Okay, more pictures coming at ya!



Like my hat!










One of Mishka's favorite summer time hobbies...burying herself in sand! (and of course tubby time that follows ;))

Here are the lovely ladies, Emma and Mishka...looking a little wiped out :)

Babu's smiling...Mishka missed the memo apparently.

You can almost feel the energy levels surging as these 3 cousins get together to play...this is the start of the day, be certain there was alot of running to follow this picture :)

Yup, Mishka likes s'mores!

Sunday morning picture blitz!

Keeping in season with the football going on, we've got the picture blitz! So Mishka is simply a fun, cool kiddo, always good for an interesting photo-op. She's loving day-care, which is awesome, and she's loving learning her alphabet and the letter sounds and colors! Oh, and she sings and runs around ALOT. :) Tasha & I are so blessed to be able to hang out with her, teach her and learn from her! Enough talk, more pics!

Beautiful lil' girl :)

Dancing with Daddy who has clearly lost his marbles ;)

Still digging that hole to China...

Tubby time with Callie!

Pretty tough looking in my purple hat playing with blocks!

And a sight you almost NEVER see, Mishka sleeping quietly ;)

Mishka unplugged!

This video would have been cooler had we caught the beginning of Mishka rapping along, here she sort of loses interest (imagine that in a 2 year old!)...but this is something she's doing alot lately (randomly singing...especially to Callie) and it's VERY funny.

The Chicken Dance

Time for the chicken dance...and don't forget to take a bow!

Puddle jumping!

Here's a snippet of Mishka running around on the beach...and daddy chasing :)

Summertime roles!

Hey ya'll, sorry I've been away for a while, here's a few pics from the summer!

Here's me in my cool dress doing what I love to do most...eat ice cream!!!

And I love to do this too, play in the ocean, YEEAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!

This would be a cool picture if I could see what was going on...

Aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh

;)

Close ups

We had some fun with the zoom lens and black and white features on the digital camera with all the kids...they all responded with their cutest (Sasha), meanest (Meechy), or most aloof (Mishka) poses they could muster ;)












Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!

Smile!

"Daddy, look at my ear!"

Ggggggggggggggggg!

(pacifier sucking sound insert here!)

Check out the dimples.

Pouty face anyone??

Yup, she's still not looking at the camera...

Backrubs, yeah!

Close up of Callie, but if you look closely, you can see Tasia with Nico in the background, sort of a cool shot!
