With Lily while sister was at church

Last Wednesday afternoon Maiko, Amy and Lily came by the house after dropping off Isabelle at church. We ate pizza and then went outside to play with Lily. She ran around chasing a wheel that Maiko and I were rolling on the street. Here she is, jumping from the curb to the pavement. What a jump! Of course, grandpa has to be watching. Its no fun unless grandpa and meme are watching.
She got on the bed of the truck where Amy was sitting and when Maiko came near she jumped at Maiko yelling, "Catch me, Daddy!" Surprised the hack out of Maiko.

So.... I told her to do it again cause grandpa had missed it. She went and did it again. This time Maiko was ready. That girl has no fear. She is just like Maiko.
She got her little tricycle and rode it around the street. That is the nice thing about living on a dead end. No traffic.


Well sister and Izma were feeling left out. Sister came up to the fence and I saw a good photo op. I bought some dirt a while back and now the dogs use it as a vantage point. They like standing on it to look over the fence and out to the street. They play king of the hill too. Last week Sister ate my "chanclas", one pair of gloves, two humming bird feeders, and one flower pot. Elfida threatens to get rid of her at least five times a week.


We were ready to go in when Maiko dropped the little wheel we had been playing with. Izma got it and took off running. She thought it was fun having Maiko chase her around the backyard. That was funny!

It is now nice and cool in the evenings, so one can actually sit outside and enjoy it. Now if all the mosquitoes would die... Maybe we will have an actual winter this year and we won't have so many bugs next summer.
