Father's Day

Better late than never.  For Father's Day this year we made Cinnamon Scones with Elderberry and Peach Preserves, Sausage, Scrambled Eggs, and Milk.  Simple but delicious.

The kids lined up with their gifts and then we filed into the bedroom singing "I'm So Glad When Daddy Comes Home."  Doug got his breakfast and his homemade gifts from the kids.

Wagstaff Baby

Wagstaff baby arrival!  Not really a headline I know, but it works.  Doug's work gave us a hat, onsie, and blanket with "Wagstaff baby" on them.  Here Peter is all decked out.

Elk Days

What is Elk Days?  Well it is a time to just have fun.  For as long I as I can remember there has been Elk Days.  There is a pancake feed at the firestation first thing followed by a parade and then lots of things to see and do the rest of the day.  Vendors come and set up booths with games and wares.  It's kinda like a miny fair.  I love it.  This year we just went to the parade, but even then we came home with a lot of candy.  Our little corner of road was pretty empty except for us so the kids got all the loot.

Waiting for the parade to begin

Peter really didn't participate much

More waiting

Our marching band.  Now I know it doesn't look like much but this is the first time any band members have marched in the parade and they played really well despite being small in number.

The firetruck

There were a couple of cool looking cars in the parade.  Here are two of them and no the pickup doesn't count. :)

The army

What a fun day.  Can't wait till next year.

All about Alexis

I think the title and this comic strip are self explanitory. 

Goofy Kids

Cutie Pie Lexie.  Can't you just see her personality and impishness in this photo.  The timing was perfect.

He's grinning!  Peter smiles and laughs quite a bit.  He's fast though so catching a shot is hard but Doug managed it.

Doug made homemade spaghetti noodles for dinner a couple nights ago.  Lex and Evan liked playing with them.  They look like they have tusks.

Bug in my bed!

I love having Peter in the family, but he has developed an inconvenient habit.  He enjoys sleeping in our bed.  Not only sleeping, but tends to only fall asleep in our bed at night anyway.  He sure does look cute though.

All wrapped up and snuggly

Maybe it's the wide open space he loves

Where is summer?

Our poor neglected toys!

Spring decided to extend itself this year with cold wet weather.  Our toys were neglected for inside activities.  But wait is that sunshine I see?  Hurry out while it still shines.  And that is what we did.  This past week for a couple days at least we were able to go outside, not get drenched and just enjoy our toys again.

Even though summer is officially 2 days away, I think spring is going to linger a little longer.  I just hope the sun comes out occasionally and we warm up for the 4th of July weekend.
