Crazy Kona!

Our lab Kona is completely nuts! She LOVES rocks of all things! If you are outside - I don't think you would see her without a rock in her mouth or her barking near a rock that she wants you to throw. It really does get annoying. She will bark consistently until you throw said rock. Seriously. If you have noticed in several of my videos you always hear Kona barking in the background! hehe! LOVE her to death though. Labs will be Labs I guess!

Proof.

She also loves fishing in the pond for rocks. NUTS!

Like Mother, Like Daughter!

The picture in the middle is me! I was trying to find a good pic to use as a comparison but couldn't find a good one of her cheesin (that is hard to believe I know!) I found these two. I can't believe how similar the hair is!! What do you think??

Blackberry Pickin!

There are blackberries all over by our house! We have been waiting for them to be ready to pick. So - I told Keira to get ready to go pick some......this is what she put on!!! Oh dear...I believe we are in severe trouble when she gets older! haha!

Best Blackberry Picker Ever!

Project Treehouse!

We FINALLY started Keira's treehouse/play area! It is slowly coming together! We made a couple trips to Home Depot and pretty much spent the whole weekend working on it! The vision is to have the slide and rock climbing wall attached to the deck like part you see.....then the house will be to the left of that! I am so excited....I want to play too!!! So far she is really digging the new swing and trapeze bar!

(btw - any of the collage images w/the little icon above below them can be clicked for a larger image!)

More updates later!!

Bug Talk.

Keira found some sort of caterpillar like bug the other day. She found it down by the garage. Darin and I were sitting up in the yard. She couldn't get the lid off the bug jar so she put the bug in an empty bubble tube to carry it up to us. (good thinking! hehe!) After D got the lid off she dumped him in! Then she looked @ him through the magnifying lid. She was proud! Then she preceded to take the jar to her bike and put it in the back and scoot away! The last pic is her sucking a flower up her nose......must have learned that @ daycare?!?

Have I told you how much I LOVE this kid!! She is the BEST!!

Columbus Zoo - July 4th 2009

Summer Lovin!

I can't believe it is already July! Time just flies by anymore! Here are some pics from the last week...I am behind!

She is a FISH! She is just about swimming! She was jumping in like a maniac! I can't wait to take her again - hopefully this weekend.

**4th of July -- Columbus Zoo pics soon!!!!**

Project Update: VW BUS

Darin has been working a little bit on the bus when he has time. Unfortunately, when he pulled the bus out of storage from the winter and popped the top ---- mice had nested in the top and ate a hole in the NEW canvas! He was not a happy camper. He will have to patch it. He did get the new bamboo floor installed. It looks sweeeeeeet! He also got the bumper on one of his buddies made him. It is awesome too! Here is where we left off last time.

Keira loves playing in the "school" bus!! haha!

(that is what she calls it!)
