A wonderful afternoon at the Arb
We took a nice hike through the Arb this past weekend; with stops to cool our feet in the river and to build a fairy house. What a great way to spend a sunny Sunday afternoon. :)

Horse Show at SCS at the end of camp
Emma rode the very young pony Apache all week long and in the horse show on Friday. Apache is still learning how to take a rider, but Emma wanted the extra challenge! Although Apache didn't always listen to her commands, Emma did a great job being patient with him! He is pretty darn cute (as is Emma!) and we are really proud of not only her riding, but her perseverance as well! :)

Emma and Papa on Father's Day
After Emma helped Papa change the brakes on my car, they headed out for a special daddy-daughter dinner at Shalimars! :) I think they both clean up pretty well. ♥♥♥

Papa and Keenan on Father's Day

Emma's last day of 1st Grade!
After picking her up from her last day, Papa and I took her out for a special lunch- just the 3 of us! We love you , Emma! Keep up the great work!

A few more of Keenan with Oma... :)
He had so much fun in the trampoline! :)

Emma, Keenan, Maddie and Izzy!
The big sisters holding the little sibs! Aren't they cute?? :)

Emma's end of the year Picnic with her 1st Grade friends

Saying goodbye to Oma Inge... After a fun week together, Oma had to head back to Germany. We had a great time and can't wait to see her again soon!

Emma had a GREAT idea!
She thought it would be fun to pull the K-ster in her wagon. With a little coconut milk and continued movement, Keenan was happy for a LONG time! :)

Happy 70th Birthday Grandpa Bob!
We threw a surprise party for Bob's 70th birthday; and surprised he was! :) Good friends joined us in helping celebrate his special milestone. Lori, Michelle and I had special wine bottles made, Oma Inge made yummy German Potato salad (and I made lots of other yummy things too). It was great to see a lot folks we hadn't seen in a while. Poor Jason didn't know what he was getting into when he climbed into the trampoline with Emma! :) Keenan happily played with the guest too. He even let John hold him for a minute! :) Thanks to all who helped us make this day special for Bob! :)

Oma Inge Day 2
On Oma's 2nd day in the USA we took a drive to Grandma Sandy's Lake House. Keenan got some good grandma time and a little time to splash in the bucket. Emma got to test out not only the new paddle boat, but her new "jet ski" as well. She loved the shooting water feature! Poor Oma and Papa! They both got a little wet! :)
