I guess since I skipped last week's post, I have double the pictures to share. Here's Halmoni and her boys!
Ev and Ry waiting in the back of Dad-Dad's truck, out of harm's way...
... as he pulled this tree down while Josh worked the chain saw on it.
Then it's play time! They thought for sure they were in the jungle...
Our first fire in our new fire pit.
The boys love to "play pumpkins" while on barn duty.
Evan practicing writing his letters with chalk.
Then on Saturday, we were able to gather with our family to celebrate our little Ryan turn two years old. Some dinner pics...
More lounging diners...
And, naturally, Evan in the woods swinging big sticks around like it's his job. :o)
Caden in on some woods action.
Ryan being super tall on a stump.
My dinosaur cake that I made! I was quite proud of it - I didn't expect such results, especially since I bothced a batch of dinosaur cookies immediately prior to this! :o)
Ryan tried to stifle his smile as everyone sang to him, but we could tell he was overjoyed!
Cake boy!
Aunt Lina loves her cake too! :o)
For some reason, our camera has developed these dark spots... most of them are camoflauged by leaves or a shoe or something, but not here - right in my face... but it's a good picture anyway, so here it is. (Kind of weird how we still continue to dress similarly when we don't plan it... happens way more than is coincidental!)
Ryan loved unwrapping all of his presents.
His new T-Rex watching on as he tries out Evan's laptop.
Post birthday cookie... he didn't particularly care for it, but refused to let anyone eat it for him. Instead, he lugged it around outside, collecting dirt on it all morning, resting it on the sidewalk, etc. Silly boy!
Evan helping Pop-Pop with the drain pipes for our gutters.
The shovel crew at it again, burying our newly installed drain pipe.
