Autumn & Kalina

Our first Doyle dirt posting was on April 2nd in case you want to go back and look at those pictures.

These pictures are from May 7th.  After the Make-A-Wish 5k we had a Doyle Dirt picnic-a kind of a ground breaking party.  We still didn’t have permits to get started yet, but we decided we could do our own ground breaking!

Uncle Jeffrey thought he was George Washington.  Should we tell him to chop the bottom of the tree?

Peter was going after the fence.  Um, should your bootie stick out that much?  That’s better!

Daddy was using the sledge hammer.  He was a little over dressed for a dirt party!

Ben was trying to decide which part was the tree

Alright Kameron, what are you gonna hit?

I like the beer in hand techinique!

This is a view from the southwest corner towards the North.  Can you see the outhouse?  Kameron was the first to use that!  Dad was a little bummed that he wasn’t the first to pee on his property.

Now the picnic part!  We even had the Carlsons, a new neighbor, and Daddy’s friends Mark and Ryan come.

The Carlsons brought hard hats for Mom and Dad to wear.

Now that May is over Mom thought it would be a good time to put up a post from the BEGINNING of May!  It takes her soooo long to post on our blog these days.  I wonder why she doesn’t have time to do it?!

Anyway, back to the run.  Jeffrey, Caitlin, Ryland, Jackie Lauren, Leslie, Ben, Peter, and Kameron all did the 5k.  Mommy, Autumn, Grandpa and I did the family fun run.  These are pictures Grandma took since she was the official t-shirt holder and camera person.

Here were are, bright eyed and bushy tailed.

Here’s everyone before they started running/walking.  Autumn says, wait for me guys

Everyone is waiting for the race to start.

First they let all the people doing the 5k go, then we got to do the family part.

Here we are finishing our part!

Here comes Ben-he ws the first DPI’er!

Where’s Peter?  Grandma must’ve missed him.

Now it’s Lauren.

And then Kameron.

Here comes Auntie Cate and Ryland.

And jeffrey.

Jackie made a friend while she was walking.

There’s Peter and Leslie.  They must’ve run through the finish line so fast Grandma didn’t even see them!

Here we are after all that hard work!

Ryland did you sleep the whole time?  Silly Ryland!

Oh wait, I did!

Yesterday Grandma came over to help us decorate our Easter eggs.  Last year Autumn was to small to help, but this year she helped color them and put stickers on them.  One got a little broken when she smashed it with a spoon, but that’s ok, because I broke one too when I dropped it on the floor.

See all the colors we had.  After you put the egg in you have to wait for it to get pretty.

Stir it gently Autumn

Let’s check this green one and see if it’s ready.

Let me help you stir Autumn

Grandma brought us presents!

I got a purple lamb, and Autumn got a brown bunny!

The eggs are dry!  Time to do the stickers.

Do you see some eggs in our house?  Mom didn’t feel like cleaning up before she hid them.

This morning Autumn came out to her chair and found an egg on it.  She cracked it open and out fell M&M’s.  Mom let us eat chocolate this morning instead of breakfast!  I found lots of eggs, Autumn was to busy eating the M&M’s out of them.  (You’ll have to excuse my hair-I had BAD bed head)

Found one!

Found some more!

“Boke, boke”  Autumn was telling Mommy her rabbit was broken.  She wouldn’t bite it, she just kept trying to put it back together.

Mommy helped her and she was happy! (but then his head fell off again)

Yummy-more chocolate!

I’m an “eat the ears first” girl-how about ou?

Ewwww-chocolate fingers

Love and hugs for our new animals!
