A Happy Father's Day!

We've had a wonderful day celebrating our wonderful dad (and husband)!
Emma and Camden made Chris's favorite special breakfast: cinnamon rolls-yummy!

Emma made Chris's shirt for him at school.

He was the envy of many at church this morning!

Emma's Documentary

Do we have a future film maker in the family? Emma was conducting interviews this morning...

Emma: Camden, what do you want to be when you grow up?

Camden: A oppopus

(translation: octopus)

Emma: What do you want to be when you are still little?

Camden: A shark

Funny Faces

Emma and I thought we'd share some of the fun we had this morning with her camera...

A Good Morning "Quack"

As many of you know, Camden has a constant companion: Eugene, the duck. His collection has grown to 4 (he favors 2 of them over the others) and this is what came strolling into our room a little after 6 this morning:

Who needs to try to carry all of the Eugenes when you can use a cart?! ;)

The World's Best Helpers

Our yard is in need of a little love and attention, so Emma, Camden, and I spent the day "working" in the front yard. Here are my helpers raring to go!After I mowed the yard, I appreciated the help raking up a few spots.

We have to get fully outfitted with our gardening gloves any time there is work to do in the yard.

I had help pulling about 2 weeds in the flowerbed before my helpers needed a break. I think Camden is the cutest thing ever wearing his bike helmet!
After lunch and a rest, it was time to bring out the sprinklers.

After a hard day's work, it was sure nice to relax!

Training Run

Goal #1 for the first official day of summer vacation was to go running. I am running a 5K in Cedar Rapids on the 4th of July and I need to be in training mode. The kids and I headed out to the Clear Creek Trail yesterday morning for a nice run.

After my run, it was Emma and Camden's turn!Coach #2
Coach #1 helping out

Picking some flowers for Daddy along the trail

Seussical at the Forest Theater

We spent a wonderful afternoon enjoying Seussical the Musical. After my first time at the Forest Theater last spring to see Beauty and the Beast, I was well prepared with our blankets, seat cushions, and snacks galore for the kids.

Here are the 4 year-olds(Emma has a green jacket on) blazing the trail down to the theater. Alison is riding in style with her dad. ;) Emma, Claire, and Dylan (Claire's cousin) take a photo break along the trail.
Enjoying the show!

A gorgeous setting for a great production!
