Family Trip to Italy

Emma is studying Italy at school and was very excited to share this picture she made of us at The Leaning Tower of Pisa.

"Dad, you jumped in a mud puddle and got it on your face, Camden's riding on my shoulders, and Mom, your hair is kinda crazy because it was a really windy day."

What a great laugh! I love this girl's imagination!!! :)

MAC Wow!

Chris has wanted a Mac for years and when our desktop PC bit the dust this week, I know he was doing a happy dance deep down inside! We are figuring out all the new bells and whistles this iMac has to offer. The kids could pose for the Photo Booth for hours. Here are a few silly shots we just took. :)

Awesome Amigos

The Bugenigs and Warthens came over for dinner last night and our wild and crazy kids had a great time playing.

I just love how Logan joins right on in with the girls. It was a bit of a challenge to have an adult conversation around the cheerleaders!

We officially had a kid table for dinner! I have fond memories of sitting around the card table as a kid, and as long as they are still small enough, all 6 kids can fit around this one! :)

The Cutest Boy in the Whole Wide World

I often ask Camden, "Are you the cutest boy in the whole wide world?" (because he is!!!)

I love when his reply is, "Alright, mom!"

The Seaward is definitely coming out in this picture. I immediately thought of my dad when I saw it!

Ahhhhhhh Sunshine!

After being stuck in the house for the past two days, the Kasparek kiddos were in desperate need of some outside fun! With Chris working and getting in an 18 mile run, we set off for the trail so I could get in a few miles myself. I haven't ran with both kids since last summer and ufdah, they were heavy today! Here they are at the end of the trail. During the run, Emma said that this was a perfect day for a picnic at the park, and I couldn't have agreed more!
They couldn't get enough of the slides!

Camden had to get in a good rock throwing session down at the beach.

Oh gorgeous weather, can please you stick around?!?!

We had so much fun today!

Daddy Daughter Dance 2010

Nana so thoughtfully reminded me that we never posted any pictures from the Daddy Daughter Dance. The video of our Dancing Queen was quite entertaining,but here are a few pictures from Chris and Emma's big night out.
Joining Chris and Claire for dinner at the Yacht Club Broiler

"Mom, look at these spots on my tummy!"

Not exactly what I wanted to hear last night, but low and behold, we are pretty sure Miss Emma Louise has the chicken pox. Yes, she had the vaccine, so we're hoping this is a mild case. If they are going to jump over to Camden, let's have it happen now!

Don't let this miserable look fool you, she's been acting pretty normal :
