Actually, the weather's crazy, but that's beside the point. We have started out this summer with so much fun!
While Dad and Elliott were at the Fathers and sons campout, Lucy, Kristine, Maric, Archie and I had a girls and baby night out! We had sushi, went accessory shopping, bought shoes, and had icecream! Then we came home and the girls danced! Perfect girls night
We took the kids to see The Avengers movie. Elliott went as Iron Man, and Lucy went as the Black Widow. I was such a proud Mama!
We've had some fun experiments too. Thanks Croziers for this idea! Baking soda and vinegar and food coloring: fun!
Thanks Johnson family for this idea! Marshmallows and toothipicks: fun!
The ole pickled egg; a Johnson family classic
Milk, food coloring and dish soap: fun!
Some days have actually been warm enough for water fun.
Every summer I get one of these pictures. I love when they play so hard they can't keep their eyes open. That's how summer is supposed to be.
Fishing with Dad. This is Elliott's first totally independent catch!
Lucy has always been an amazing fisher-woman!
Archie's new favorite thing is this little tunnel. It's a portable tight squeeze anytime he wants it!
Dad and Elliott and Lucy planted a Japanese Maple in the backyard. Mike has wanted one of these since we bought our house! That was 9 years ago. It's about time!
Archie's first splash-pad experience. He fell asleep while drinking his bottle. Being a sicko can wear you out.
Elliott finished his first t-ball season! Mike got a ball signed by the team for being a great helper-dad!
We are hoping to spend a lot of time at Harmony and HadAbogi's pool this summer. We got to go once, and Archie and Elliott loved it. Archie's first prunie fingers.
Lucy tested for her Deputy belt! We are so proud of her and so impressed! This is a HUGE accomplishment! Next stop: BLACKBELT!
Mike and I are planning on running a lot of races this summer. Our first was last week, Run For Dunn. I love doing this because it is the only time we get to run together. Lookin' good for a bunch of old folks huh!??!
There are perks to living right next to a park. We get to go enjoy the weather on a whim. We are looking forward to a lot of park time this summer too.
I love Archie's face in this picture, it looks like a little cocky-man face. Cute.
What a summer we will have.

Great times ahead! Looks like you are already having loads of fun.
Love, Mom
PS I love how easy it is to post on your blog. No code words.
wonderful times all around. And I have to admit I am jealous about all the running and the very long hair Bonnie!
Love all of you!
Aunt Christa
haha Arhcy "mom, seriously, another kiss.. okay if you must!" This is my guess as to what he thinking of in this last pic! Oh and "I am super pumped to go spend time with aunt Ruth and her family!!!" of course! :)
What a gaggle of pictures, I loved the Avernger pictures --esp. Iron Man, and the good pictures of Archer looking healthy and active. WE love your family and wish we could bifurcate and be here and there at the same time.
