Joni on the news

Joni was invited to help with a local news story for an upcoming family fair.

Of course, we then enjoyed the fair too!

Happy birthday Brian and our visit with Grandma & Opa

Brian...then & now

The joy of chocolate fondue!

At the Center for Open Science Open House

 Brian’s coronation and opening presents 

The baseline picture for a science experiment...

Exploratory question: What dyes better – green food coloring or Martha Stewart orange paint?

And the results are in...

Joni's question of the day

How did poop get its' name?
(This question may be Brian's favorite birthday present so far today!)

Joni’s announcement as she perches at the top of the stairs…

I have a secret new way of going down the stairs…and I hope it’s safe.

Pledge of Allegiance

Discoveroo Music Festival

Decorate your own cookie station (I think the kitchen sink may actually be included)

 

The kids loved the station to make fake blood!

Joni's first soccer practice

Go Bee!

If only we all woke up feeling this way...

Check out this smile!

Tooth #5 came out this morning!

Haven has high hopes that the tooth fairy will bring a little something extra since it's a front tooth.
