Zoo!

It was a beautiful weekend (80's) & daddy was busy at a seminar so auntie Kas came with us to the zoo!

Look at those smiles. Amelia misses having Kas around all the time!

Look close and see how terrified Ruby is.

We saw this sign after Kassie lost a finger!!

Notice how my kids get as far away as possible from the animals and Ruby just looks away!

Amelia's favorite part - feeding the ducks! Probably cuz they never get too close!

The Hawley Girls! (wish daddy was here!)

Amelia's other fav. part of the zoo!

Amelia looks much braver than Kassie in this pic.

The adorable Rubes with her favorite toy.....mom's cell phone!

I told Amelia to pose for a pic & this is what I got!

Amelia loves to take pics too now.....not bad!

Pumpkin Patch!

Happy 1st Birthday Rubes!!

A couple of pics for Ruby's first Birthday and random pics of the summer!

As soon as we put the cake in front of her she looked up at us & dove in. She hesistated for a couple seconds but noticed that we weren't stopping her so she went for it!

Rubes is 1!

Mommy & Amelia on our way to Movie in the Park night....we watched Toy Story & ate a bunch of popcorn! She thinks it's so cool.

Playing on the new trampoline and Ruby immediately figured out how to climb up!

and jump!

Hanging out at the dam in Bismarck with cousin Abby.

Rubes a little unsure of the sand beneath her feet.

We spent a fun couple of days with friends at the lake this summer!

Happy Rubes.

Crazy Amelia!!

Wknd Building Daddy's Shed!

A couple pics of the past weekend with family

Auntie Kas is the only person that Ruby does this to....not even mommy & daddy (rarely anyway)

Rubes all lubed up, shaded & looking ridiculous....have to protect the redhead!

Hanging out with aunties, Gma Sue & Great Gma Weigel while the boys work on the shed.

Ruby always checking up on the progress that daddy is making thru the patio window.

The boys enjoying a beer after 12 hrs. of hard work on a 90 degree day.

Amelia striking a pose in what she thinks is going to be her playhouse but really it's daddy's playhouse! Shed on the bottom and daddy's work space/office on the second floor. He stares outside at it daily....just like a kid!

Lately Amelia insists on sleeping anywhere but her bed and surrounding herself with blankets and pillows.....and who doesn't need sunglasses at night?!
