Hot day in Manitou

We continue to explore life in the Springs so today we went to down town Manitou. We only went into a couple of shops and had lunch at great spot on the creek. The kids loved these "love birds" and the old time amusement rides. We tasted the mineral spring water that flows out of spouts all around town. Fun family time!

Thanks Granny!

Granny sent a package. Rigel thinks getting mail is so cool! They look pretty cute in their new duds.

Date, baby, corn

Our great friends Jesse and Kimmy got married on Father's Day...

To us... that means we get a date night... thanks Mr. & Mrs. Bean!

Our God family has a 7 day old (in this photo) kitten and Ohana LOVES it and calls it "baby"

Summer solstice= grilling and the kids love to shuck corn with daddy!

Rigel actually eats more when we eat outside

Ohana discovered the joy of antelope steak... she eats good anywhere

Now you're up to date with the Smiley's... more summer fun to come!

Watertainment!

Water is always a crowd pleaser and Target has cheap water toys!

Sign of summer!

WATERMELON!!!

YUM- ENOUGH SAID!

Moments that make us Smile-y....

The only time Ohana looks big is in the doll crib!

She discovered the Mr. Potato head glasses and... well you see...

She's so happy in them...

Yes that is my son with make-up. He has watched me for 3 yrs do mine and finally came his turn!

Don't worry, it was a bath night. He did consider this a "reward" for his good behavior.

Blowing the airplane whistle toys!

So many memories, so little time. We are just enjoying this phase of life... mostly:0)

I did ya...

Mother's Day 2011

My baby girl... look at those teeth

Under the apple tree

Then Rigel wanted to take pictures... and every time he'd say "I did ya!"

A little close I think...

Action shot of Ohana who is now walking everywhere...

Not too bad... maybe this is how John Weller got started!
