I Wanna Be a Cowboy

These are old pictures from the spring.
We picnicked on Kruzof Island at the end of March.
It snowed, sleeted, rained and finally the sun
came out for a 1/2 hour before heading home.
Both kids fell asleep on the way back.

In May we celebrated Uncle Kevin, Kobi and Anan's Birthdays.
Kevin and Beth came up for a long weekend.

Two Thumbs Up!
Kobi participated in his first triathlon at the age of 4...
six days before turning 5.
He was the youngest ever participate in the kids category.
The kids distance consists of a
2 mile run, 5 mile bike, and 500 yd swim!
Kevin rode a bike next to him for both metal and physical safety.
Way to go little buddy!
I think he takes after his Papa.
But, he wants me to include the message
"but Papa didn't win."

Anan counting his herring catch. We went fishing for bait with a throw net and caught bagfuls of fish. Anan was pretty interested in studying them. Kobi just played on the rocks and then went to our friend Anne's house to cook with her. Maybe Anan will be the fisherman.
If you listen closely, Anan says "Hi Fish..."

Just some pictures to share.

Winter Warming session on Joshua Tree National Monument Rocks.

There is nothing better than dry desert beneath our feet in the middle of January.

Well, there is one thing better than desert in January, it is visiting with
Great Grandma Bee and Great Grandpa Quinton.

...and eating ice cream with them.

Watching the snowy road get plowed.

Smash Face & Brother

If you turn your volume up you can hear Annan's belly laugh.

More Pictures.

Kobi was actually trying to help me get Annan to sleep.
It didn't work.

Ready for Swimming.
We asked him if he was okay, he said "Yeah."
"Do you want me to take it off," I asked "No."

I over heard Esther reading to Kobi during a playdate. It was very sweet and the dialog is hilarious. Turn the volume waaaay up.
