D-monster and I went to the creek while Ali had a playdate :)

D-man at his school, by his favorite art piece at the school.

Dylan and his buddy Aiden before school.

This is Dylan and our friends dog Bella-they became instant friends.

This is Snailie Jr.  Dylan's newest pet!  He got him while we were visitng our friends. He "yuvs him!"

These are a few art projects, and writing projects by Alissa this year.

Alissa took all these pictures while at camp.  She took quite a few scenery shots and wants to make them into postcards :)  She had a lot of fun.  She got to hike, explore, see wildlife and learn to canoe.

This is Alissa with her friend Ellie.

She said this one was so beautiful with the wood sticking out of the lake :)

The whole group that went....notice who is the smallest -tiny Ali :)

Alissa's cabin, which she said a U.S. President stayed in at one point.

Ali's cabin buddy-Beth

Her cabin name.

The kids are studying biomes and habitats and focusing on water.  The teachers took them to OPI to learn about all of that, but also to show them this dam being dismantled.  The dam was killing off a salmon population and the local indians didn't like it so the dam was being torn down.  Alissa had many strong opinions on this :)  She was pleased it was being torn down, and that more salmon would live!

The kids' rooms have been emptied and all thats left are mattress's and clothing. They wanted to have a slumber party so we moved Ali's mattress into Dylan's room and a party they had :)

Alissa and Montana :)

Here's a picture of a necklace Alissa and I made. We used paper scrapbooking flowers, a colorful brad, and a ribbon. She thought it was the neatest necklace she'd ever seen :)

A couple pictures from a baby shower we went to this weekend.

Here's a quick photo before heading to school :)

Dylan's teacher has a cute check in system, the kids have a little card that says their name and when they are present they put their name card behind the picture of them.

Dylan's snail "Sharkie Scott Crossley" is doing really well! He still "yuvs him!" Sharkie has really active days and then LONG periods of no activity. I sometimes worry that he's dead, but then put in some fresh food and water and you'll see him out and about.

Alissa bought this craft set during her class auction. The set had 5 turkeys, and 5 owls to make. When she got home she told Dylan they were to do together :) They had a lot of fun!

While playing with William, Dylan learned a little Tae Kwon Do. Will made him a little belt and taught him the "motto" and a few moves. It was really cute seeing them do the kicks and punches together.

Some more pictures from playing at Nama Una and Papa Dave's house.

Look at these 2, cute and sweet looking......do these nice pictures begin to convey the amount of energy these 2 have? I don't think so haha

I'm glad the kids enjoy this moon sand because it is THE MESSIEST toy ever! haha-Moon Sand ends up in the carpet, on the seats, on clothes and definately on the floor. It is really cool though, I have to admit. It's sand that you can mold and play with and its not wet or dry, it's neat.

Our neighbors have a garden in between our 2 yards and have tons of tomatoes, so they let Dylan pick one. He came in and wanted to eat it, not cut up, salted, or on a sandwhich, just a tomato eaten like an apple would :) Good snack choice D-man!
