Goggle Mask Guy

Our favorite superhero, Goggle Mask Guy, has been spotted at the local swimming pool.

Rumor is, that he was on a mission to capture the slippery Professor Penguin.











He was also spotted by surveillance cameras at the local Albertson's, obviously on the lookout for any vegetables gone bad.











A fellow swimmer, Grayson Hemmelgarn, was questioned about what he knew about Goggle Mask Guy's appearance at the pool.

He just smiled and said, "I don't know who he is, but he sure is handsome."

Lizards


For the past month, lizard hunting has become a favorite pastime for Emily and Grayson.

On a sunny afternoons, they can be seen sneaking up on unsuspecting lizards with a nets in their hands.

So far, the lizards have proven too quick for them.





That is until they found this scaly fellow sunning himself on the driveway.

He was quickly placed in an old aquarium, and did not look pleased with his new accommodations.

Lucky for him, we have a catch and release policy and he was soon on his way.

Easter Egg Hunt


Grayson leads the charge to find the Easter eggs.

He is getting to be a top notch egg hunter.


I think he has a nose for chocolate.














Last year, Emily bragged that it was too easy to find the eggs.

This year, Jeff had a few tricks up his sleeve. (Yes, she did manage to find this one)













After a marathon 30 minute of searching, she finds her last egg.

This Easter egg hunt was not for wimps













Nana was there to congratulate Emily and to see if the great egg hunter had a few pieces of candy to spare.
















Grandpa listened as Cole discussed the finer points of his chewy toy.

Cannonball!


"Cannonball!"

That was what Grayson yelled as he was swinging from our tree swing.

Look out Tarzan, there's a new king of the jungle.

Eager for Easter, Grayson hones his egg hunting skills at Irvine Park.

He looks pretty pleased with his latest catch.












His courage is sure to be tested when he meets up with the big chick that is hatching out of this egg.

CHEEP CHEEP!

Wise Eyes


At only 6 months old, Cole sometimes has the gaze of a wise old man.

Wow, I wish I knew what thoughts were going on behind those beautiful blue eyes.

Prince Oley's Throne

The time has come for Prince Coley Oley to have a proper place at the table.

He loves his new high chair and is quite the enthusiastic eater. So far, he enjoys rice cereal, peas and green beans.







He has also found the bowls can be yummy too.

Slip 'n Slide

Nothing says springtime fun like having your children hurl themselves down a piece of plastic while you hose them down.

Long live the Slip and Slide!
