Luke's Haircut and Our little helpers!

This is our sweet boy with lots of hair! Love it!

This is all of his hair on the ground!
This is our sweet boy with little hair! Love it! But he looks so much more grown up...=( ! Check out the peanut butter mustache~!
Of course, whatever you do for one you must also do for the other child. So here is a picture of Hamilton's hair. Next time you get peanut butter and jelly in your hair, just make a mohawk out of it!
I thought you would enjoy pictures on the tight ship I (Jenny) run. Here is Luke doing his lunch dishes!

Here's Hamilton vacuuming!
What big helpers they are! Talk about being a productive family....mom is on the phone with Laurie, catching up with a good friend who recently moved, Luke is grating cheese and Hamilton is stirring our dinner, and Dad is on the computer researching flooring for our future home! Never boring in this house! I just hope the desire to help remains in the years to come.

Time in the Mountains

We recently took a trip to the mountains to spend time with the Bare side of the family. Here's Luke picking flowers on Roan Mountain. We went for a little hike one morning.

The Bare men/boys had fun playing in the stream! It was so cold we had to tell Luke that he had to get out because his lips were blue!


As usual, we celebrated the special birthdays this month! We have such a sweet family to celebrate!

Hamilton's Birthday Party

Happy Birthday to Hamilton! In theme with what Hamilton enjoys..."Balls, Bubbles and Balloons" was the theme. We ate boiled peanuts and watermelon in the shape of balls, some of Hamilton's favorites! By the way, if you did not know, Hamilton loves balls. He loves to throw and catch balls. He gets so excited! James and I will have to become sports buffs with this one I think!

The birthday cake was a tower of donut holes. So healthy and delicious too!

Despite his face in this picture, he loved the donut holes!


What made the celebration so special was sharing it with family and friends.

Bubbles!
Our new great neighbor friends! Their son Aiden is 8 months old and the same size as Hamilton. I (Jenny) have really enjoyed getting to spend time with Michelle.
The great big brother. He did great singing Happy Birthday and making sure all the guests had enough food.

Opening some gifts! Yeah! Hamilton squealed at the gift of balls!

Hanging around the house

Here are some pictures of the boys playing around the house. Luke is playing in a tent we made in his room, in addition to the McQueen (Cars) tent his Shosho and Papa O gave him at Christmas. Which by the way, he has been sleeping in the matching sleeping bag he received with the tent on top of his bed. Crazy boy...it's summer time and hot yet he wants to sleep in the hot sleeping bag. Hey, when it comes to that, I say.."whatever you want honey!"
