Fashion Show, Pt. 1

Who doesn't like a good fashion show? Iris and Nora sure do, and here they are to show you what's hot in baby fashion this year. Iris is wearing her new sunglasses by an undisclosed designer (let's just say it's a big one), and Nora is leading the pack in her tutu that Aunt Linda and Uncle Gene bought them earlier in the year. Sit back and enjoy the show...
The future's so bright...she's gotta wear shades.

Nora likes to do her little move on the catwalk.

The catwalk is a little narrow here.

This summer, the action figure is the ideal accessory.

Girl, you better work it!

Daddy, I've had enough of your fashion show.

Curls for girls are definitely in this season.

Seriously dad, don't make me tell you again. Let a playa play.

Antioch Park

Saturday morning, we met The Valera Family at Antioch Park for donut holes and fun with the kiddos. I know this blog over-indexes in swing photos, but bear with us a few more weeks, please.Here's Mighty Mite hanging on for dear life. I also like to call this pic "Jane of the Jungle."
A thunderstorm blew through a few hours before and little Salvador did his best to dry all of the slides for the other Saturday morning park patrons. So thoughtful!!!
I love this pic. Making a break for it!I think Sal and Herley were looking for Nessie.
And another sunshine swing photo of Miss Iris. Fun fun! I wouldn't want to go again before tomorrow! Thanks for the invite Valeras!!!

Rah Rah, Sis Boom Bah!

What a fantastic Fourth of July weekend we had this year! Started out with a little rain and then the sun came out - 80 degrees! Couldn't be better. We hung around the house on Friday and Saturday morning and then spent Saturday night with Mark's family - Aunt Linda, Uncle Gene, and his cousin Jennifer, her husband Phil, and Quinlan. What a great time at a backyard BBQ complete with DJ, Jump Jump, and Conga Line! Nothing says "Happy Birthday America" like some celebratory Golden Grahams!Uncle Gene and Nora checking out the Conga Line spectacle.
After the brief recess watching the Conga Line, it's back to her studies.
Jen, Quin, and Phil digging in to the feast.
Real men aren't afraid of Jump Jumps.

I think this is the best photo I've ever taken. Those girls sure love those swings. We drove up to Fairway Sunday afternoon. There's a great park we love there.
Giggles McGee strikes again.
Yay! Even Daddy loves the swings.
Nora's getting in her exercise keeping up with Daddy.
You can sort of see where she gets that red hair...
There is no pattern or order to how the teeth come in. They have minds of their own.
No Starr blog post would be complete without a pic of what what we grilled this weekend. I can hear my sister now...."Colin, they posted food again."

LOL. Love you all. Hope you had a fabulous Fourth. Thanks again to the Starrs for including us in their BBQ! Great fun!
