Other June Happenings

School is officially done for me. Tyler is back at it for the summer quarter at his school. Our summer just started and already it has been busy. This weekend we had a successful garage sale--in that we sold a lot of stuff and had a good time hanging out in the beautiful outdoors. Zoey proved to be quite the handful on Saturday as she "helped" out with the sale.

Saturday was the day that Tyler and I just kept going through the garage and our house finding more and more stuff to get rid of. We came across the dart board that we had at our old house when our basement was a game room. We haven't used it since we moved here and thought we could try to sell it. Zoey saw it and was immediately interested in this thing she never knew we always had. Tyler laid it out and we put a fair price on it. When a customer asked, "How much?" I noticed that Zoey had covered the price tag with all the darts. Later on that day, I was going around reorganizing some items and looked down at the old rugs I was trying to sell and noticed that the price tag on them said, "$25 firm." Well, no wonder no one was buying the rugs that I had originally priced at $4 for both! ZOEY!!!

We took this as a hint from Zoey and took the dart board off the market--we will hang it in the garage and hope when she goes on to win the National Dart Board Championship, she remembers all those who got her there.

Here are some pictures of our summer so far. . .

A wonderful day for the pool! Zoey jumped right in, Zander was a little more hesitant. Although, he was all for posing for the camera. (Dad, I know he doesn't have his hat on, but this is a darn cute pose.)

Zoey and Zander enjoyed some cupcakes in honor of Uncle Rob's birthday. (OK, fine they were left over cupcakes from school, but they were eaten on the 5th of June!)


Zoey has been testing every limit out there since she turned four. Here is a picture of her after a typical night of refusing to stay in her bedroom at bedtime.

Zander is in the mist of a language explosion! He is putting together phrases and really getting the hang of this communication thing. . .

Just some of his phrases include:
Dadda go?
Ba, where are you?
Mama sleeping!
Thank you
All done milk.
My turn (my gurn)
Dadda juice, please
baball baball tins (Baseball, Twins!)
