The girl loves to draw
She sat in this chair and drew on the back of an envelope for 45 minutes.What can we say - she loves to draw.
Sidewalk art
Our little chalk artist
Linden's first representational drawing - intentionally representational that is - he likes to just draw and then tell me what it looks like but even that is pretty rare. He isn't into drawing much. Its a face - if you can't tell.

Real Popcorn
I think I may have finally convinced Linden that real popcorn is better than microwave. What wouldn't be better with melted butter poured over it.

Election Day
Just helping out "Uncle Chad". An after dinner stroll to the polls for a little smiling and waving (and running in the grass of course.)
And now for the run off. GO CHAD!

Playing Toot and Otto
Now that Blakelynn lives in Jonesboro the kids get to spend lots of quality time with their biggest cousin. Just look at the adoration.
more fame
They are quickly using up their 15 minutes. This is second news story in two weeks involving our cute kids and our local library. They can make a story out of anything on the evening news. Check it out. Wish I looked as cute as Evie on film.

Happy Mother's Day!!
After sleeping in and an amazing breakfast (waffles, with whipped cream and strawberries) we did a little mother's day gardening in our recently cleared away ivy garden. This is the before shot of our soon to be wild flower garden.
Grow seeds. Grow.

MamaSu and Opa!
We had a fine visit with MamaSu and Opa. They came to see the amazing Linden Mixon perform in the dance of a lifetime. And we got to help celebrate Opa's Birthday too!
Here they are teaching MamaSu how to dance to Thomas songs after putting on the thomas shirts she brought them.
Playing with Opa's big plane we gave him for his birthday.

Dance Receital
Today was the big performance. (Linden is right in the center - other boy is his buddy Renato. They were tap dancing to "Pac Man Fever")
And Linden loved it!
Check out the moves!
We will post a video shortly. Its too cute. The whole thing was pretty intense even to watch. 19 classes of kids under 5 each doing their own dance. Linden's class was next to last. We are all wondering how on earth they keep 150 little kids entertained back stage and quiet for that long!

Perfect morning
What a perfect morning. Gorgeous sunny blue skies. Painting with the kiddos on our patio (we are working on collection boxes to gather cool things in the yard). Playing at the fire truck playground with friends. Home for smoothies and bagels for lunch - what's not to love. Yay summer!!

Evie loves her baby
Evie and baby have been having a lot of quality time lately - playing with trains together, dancing together, changing baby's diaper, Baby often needs her hands cleaned, and of course needs her clothes changed a whole lot.
Oh and yes - Evie does have quite curly hair.

Sunday morning movie
After a late night of weather watching and very early morning of small people waking we were all too happy to cuddle on the couch and watch the video about how the post office works just one more time. Its actually fascinating.
Tornadoes. yikes!
So we had an eventful weekend weather watching. Both Friday and Saturday nights we were under a tornado warning. Friday night the siren actually went off and we got the kids down into the downstairs hallway "bunker". Pretty exciting - but mostly just a lot of thunder and lighting and rain for us - though if you watched the local news coverage you'd have thought we were done for, for sure. Linden never even woke up.
