This is what happens when you try to take a nice picture in this house.

Kiersten and Kai at the zoo

Kiersten posing on the gorilla statue

The gorilla came right up to say hi

Me and my goofy smile

Even Stacie got in to the carving this year.

Which top goes where?

Kai playing with the pumpkins before I put them outside.

All done

Swiped 3

Swiped picture #2

Kiersten swiped my phone and starting snapping some pictures of her brother.

Photo catchup...had a bunch of pick on Flickr I needed to get up.

State Fair time. The kids discovered the squirting fountains when Gpa Bruce took them for a walk. They both had grins from ear to ear afterwards.

We got brave this year and stayed out late to see the fireworks on the water. The kids really enjoyed the show.

Kai managed to find a way to fall in even though we were trying to keep the kids out until the conditions improved. That's my boy!



Cashed out as usual.

I only left him alone with the bag for 15 secs. He was so proud of himself too.

What's been up in the Baker house...

The kids helped Stacie plant some flowers up front.





Kai's newest favorite place to hang out is in the Tahoe. He'll just play with every button and switch he can find.



We took Kiersten fishing down at Scott's pond behind his house. Kiersten managed to catch a bass and I only managed to reel in a crappie.



I couldn't get Kiersten to hold the fish she caught.



I pretended I caught the fish but alas Kiersten has caught a bass by age 5 and I still haven't caught one myself in 32 years.



Kai had a blast running around in the jeep.



Here's the latest household project(mess) I've started. We raided the father in laws rock pile at the farm so we're calling our project a "green" project for using recycled materials. We did have a good time sorting thru the rocks and finding the more interesting rocks. I like to kid Bruce that a couple of them have gold speckles in em and I'm going to sell them and make my fortune.



I still have a lot of work to do but this was after I dry fitted all the rocks to see how I was coming along. It could look like this for quite a while if the weather gets nice and we boat every weekend.
