Family Fun Festival

Just before we left for California, we went to the Family Fun-Fest Day at one of our local parks. It was a fun afternoon of reptiles, bounce houses, and guns - a four-year-old's dream.

Francy checking out the alligator.

Lovin' the turtle

the python that the reptile man wrapped around the two kids up front! Lucas is looking on in awe.

Trip to Cali

Jana and I drove down to California with the kids to get some sun, swim in the pool, and hang out with the fam. It was Frances' first major trip - she did really well. She's a good traveler, just like her brother.

I got you!

Experimenting

It worked!

They look exactly alike!

Frances got lots of time in other people's arms

We took a trip out to the cemetary to visit my my Dad's parents.

Uncle George, Aunt Pat, Dad, and Uncle Mario

And my Dad's Grandparents

Trying on the swim suit

But, didn't wear it in the pool!

Sweet Gabby got baptized on July 21

Cooling off by the pool at Pat's house

Doin' what we do.

It was a great visit - Most of the rest of the family got to meet Frances and Lucas had a great time playing and swimming with lots of his cousins. Its been a jam packed two months so far - August, I'm sure won't be any quieter :)

Rollin'

Frances has this move down now. She rolled for the first time on June 19 and didn't do it again until yesterday. We're so proud! Way to go Frances!

July 4th

Frances' first Fourth of July. She enjoyed watching her brother swim in Hood Canal, kabobs on the grill, and her first bit of fireworks. She was a little crabby due to having just had a million shots the day before, but it all worked out. Happy Birthday, America!

Four Months!

Frances turns the big .40 today. Time is sure moving right along. Frances is 12.6 pounds, and is 23 inches tall! Getting big! Her big bro weighs in at a whopping 38 pounds. My babies are growing.
