Kangaroo Zoo

Birthday fun at Kangaroo Zoo. This was the friend party. She had a blast!


Here they are trying to catch the bubbles in the party room.

Looks like someone would like some more cake!

Stice Bros.

The Peanut Gallery gang, minus the Captain, dressed as, and posing with, our favorite, or at least one of our favorite, Stice boys. (Woah, good thing I know how to use commas!)

Jim and Kay Stice. In their Home Depot aprons. Need I say more?

Birthdays and puppies. It doesn't get any better!

In keeping with Hamilton family tradition, Savannah had her birthday party at that hotbed of summer fun...Lagoon! It was awesome! She won a lot of prizes at the "skin games" as Grandma calls them, got to practice her rollerblading in the pavillion, and even had a pirate sing Happy Birthday to her in the spook alley. What a great day for our darling 7-year old girl!



Grady is too cool!


Possible Christmas card photo?



Here are the girls on the sofa where they don't belong. That's what happens when Mommy and Daddy are in Hawaii and Auntie Laura is in charge. You can barely see Tess, but she always manages to cuddle in close and make a spot for herself.
Here's another shot of Tessa saying Hello to William for the first time.

Indian Summer

Sassy and mom. Almost one and the same. It's truly amazing to see how much fun they have together. I think it's because they are so much alike!

Hurray for happy, loud, kiddos. Grady can definitely hold his own in competitions like this!

Here's Poco in his little shoes. When he has them on he tries so hard to keep his feet from touching the ground. It reminds me of the way chameleons walk with that hurky jerky feet up thing. Too funny. What a great dog !

Some more September

Here are a couple more pictures from the fair. Will was loving the whipped cream.



Blake and Kenz. Her picture of this moment was much cuter, but I don't have it so this one will have to do.

Charles and Shea at TOPH for his birthday. SO fun to be with family!
Here he is opening the present from me. Yup, I gave him a DS, and yes, I AM the coolest, oldest sister he has.

Happy B-day baby brother!
