Convention Weekend 2011

Just a few pics from our convention a few weeks ago.
Here's Ryan with his little buddy, Jasper.

Em, Em and Aisy

Such sweet sisters

I LOVE this photo of Mom and Dad. 
Sorry, Dad, but do you notice anything different?
He's smiling!  I don't think I've ever taken a photo of Dad smiling...when the camera comes out,
the Papa Bear look comes out.  Not this time, though. 

Sweet Em and Em

Emma and her buddy, Dead-Eye

Enjoying smores around the fire pit

Emma caught the Frisbee on her back...she was so excited!

Inside that huge growth of Lilys is the stump from the maple tree Mom and Dad had to cut down last
year.  Ryan wanted to jump from it...I'm so glad he jumped out far enough to avoid the ring of rocks.  Phew!

Ryan got in a lot of three-wheeler time.

Ryan has started to read to Emma at night...love it!

Mom's flowers...it's so delightful to take an evening
walk around her yard.

{This should be up with the rest of the "people" pics.  Oops!}

Fun in the Sun

Happy Birthday!

Happy 39th birthday to my dear, sweet husband.
Thank you for all you do....we love you!

2011 Fishing Weekend ~ Part Two ~ Scenes from the Pond

{This was in interesting "fish tale."  Jordan caught a fish on his line, and then the fish
swam under Ryan's line.   Ryan ended up reeling it in.  They were quite excited to catch a fish together.
Those that had to untangle the lines were not quite so excited}

{Saturday was a bit wet up at the ponds.  Emma made her own
umbrella...complete with flower decorations.}
