Creekridge Clan Fun & games with James, Stephanie, Connor, & Caroline

Here are the kids crossing the bridge at the beginning of the hike.
















Mommy had a sharp eye and caught a butterfly resting on a thistle.















Here is a picture of Daddy and Caroline enjoying the nice weather.

















Caroline, Daddy, and Connor taking a little break from the heat.









Finally, a shot of Connor at the overlook.

We bought Connor his first set of golf clubs on Saturday.

Here he is taking a swing with his hybrid club.

Not to brag or anything, but he hit one ball 30 yards with his driver....watch out Tiger!










This is Connor guarding Caroline. From what I have no idea...but I guess she looks pretty safe to me.











Finally, a black and white close up of little Caroline before we went to lunch.

After Connor took his shirt off when we got home from soccer practice he said "take a picture of my pit!"

And so I did.











DO NOT. I repeat DO NOT even THINK about taking my passy.

Caroline has decided that now she is big enough to sit at the table just like the rest of us.













As always, Connor makes me take a picture of him either in some manner of ninja pose or with one of his weapons.

He also "asked" me to filter his picture in red during the editing process.

He is happy with the scary results.






Caroline is happily turning pages in mommy's magazine.











This is a pretty good picture of the both of them together.

Unfortunately, if I wait for them to both look at the camera at the same time, a certain very hot place would have frozen over.

Here is our little kindergartner standing outside the house being forced to pose by his dad.

















This was taken when we were down by the road waiting for the school bus.

I would say patiently waiting, but I had to answer "soon" about every 30 seconds when Connor would ask "when is the bus going to be here?"








The bus driver and his assistant had Connor turn around so that I could get this shot.

I like them already!








Poor little Caroline really wanted to get on the bus with Connor.

Here she is waving furiously at him.












Finally, here is the school bus about to leave the neighborhood after turning around in the cul-de-sac.

I made this picture of Connor his background on his laptop on Sunday.

He was pretty excited about it.

Steph got the camera out today to take a quick picture of the drainage ditch in the front yard being filled to the brim with rain water.







While she was at it she got this picture of Connor holding his push pop.












And this picture of Caroline with a piece of corn "pinned" to her lapel.

Here is Connor playing with his double-sided Light Saber he won at Gatti-Town.













Lil' Caroline preparing to ride her 4-wheeler side saddle.











A portrait of Connor resting from all of his Ninja-ing.














Finally, Caroline enjoying a nice big push on the swing from mommy.
