We got wet....

Two little boys got wet from the hose outside, so they took their clothes off to put in the dryer. Guelly wanted to wear something, so they both put on one of Grandpa's undershirts. Then bounced around the room shouting "Grandpa's underwear, Grandpa's underwear".

Happy Birthday!

Went out to supper at El Mariache's in Bryan tonight for Mom's birthday!
She just loved the waiters singing and giving her the sombrero to wear!

She's an official, full fledged Doctor now!

The ceremony was in the Summit Club on the 25th floor. Hannah loved looking out the windows - she has no fear of heights whatsoever -she couldn't get enough of looking out.

Ethan with Doc Mom, hamming it up.

Mindy and the other Chief Resident, John, presented some of the awards, including passing on the Chief Resident position to next year's 3rd year residents.

Kevin and Dan listen intently to the speaker, while Ethan has a drink (of water :)

Here is the ceremony where she got her certificates for completing the residency. She has to finish on Monday and Tuesday, then has a month off. There is now an official Doctor of Family Medicine in the family!

This and that...

Some kids get attached to doll babies, Alex is extremely fond of a squawking chicken. He was hugging and kissing it until I got the camera out. He then proceded to squawk it all over the campground.

Hannah is busy trying to write or draw pictures, just so she stayed close to mommy.

Hannah has it all figured out already. One hand on the mouse, one hand on the keyboard and eyes on the screen - just like she knows what she is doing.

Ethan and Hannah spent the weekend here while mom and dad partied in Las Vegas. Hannah is under the blanket while Ethan plans his next attack....

Miss Hannah getting ready to go to church - she wanted to wear the sandals so bad, yet kept taking them off.

Ethan loved jumping from the couch to the floor and then rolling onto the blow up mattress - He thought he was pretty cool!

Wednesday's doings....

GreatGrandpa's neighbor was having a garage sale and had this horse for sale. He had to buy it and brought it out tonight for the kids to play on. Guelly and Alex were here and both were on for a while together - which doesn't really work well.

Grandpa Beans has been working off and on this spring on building a train to pull behind the gator. Here is Guelly on the inaugural run in the back seat.

Not real sure what Alex thinks of the whole thing - he sat there just fine but didn't really smile, but didn't look like he was going to cry either. By the way, there are seat belts in this car.

Here is Alison driving the gator with all 6 train cars pulled behind. There were a few technical difficulties ( like a wheel looking like it is falling off) so Grandpa Beans and Nacho worked on fixing those later. Grandpa Beans plans on taking it to the campground at some point.

Playing after the rain...

All the recent rain made the yard full of water - and the kids just couldn't resist - especially when Mindy encouraged them!

Off came the pants, shoes and socks, and they ran back and forth in all the water, having a great time.

Hannah took everything but her diaper off.

Alex carried his cup of water with him.

Shepherd's Pasture - summer has begun

Even though it was kind of chilly, the summer camping season has begun. Ethan and Miguel remember camping from last year, and Hannah and Alex are quickly learning what it is all about.

Ethan and Miguel pretend to make pancakes at the campground.

Kevin has the one year old troublemakers under control - for now.

Hannah and Alex checking out the wood box.

The crew sitting around the campfire.

Alex and Guelly have to check out the wood box.

A bird decided to build a nest on the back bumper of the camper. There are 3 blue eggs in the nest and the boys have to check it out every time they are there.

Hannah finds getting her picture taken hilarious...

The boys hauling wood from the truck to the wood box.

These three have to be up to something.

Partaking of some mexican style chip dip before supper - hey, save some room for the pancakes and sausage!

Ethan with his bike and a juice.
