Photo-ops

 Still trying out my friend's lovely camera and the other super zoom lens, I went in search of pictures and willing participants.....I found a few.

 Love the necklace?

 This guy and couple more are protectors of Lucas' room.

 This is how we 'bore' Lea to sleep at night - Multiplication facts!

 who knows?

 Lea was hard at work on her book report/project on the Red-eyed Tree Frog.

 she's done photo-shooting.....

 coloring the ant - black.

 the final project! Can you spot the animals camouflaged in the Rain Forest??

More fun photos:

 HA! Mo was mad because Abbey got in his photo-op

 1,2,3!

Are you a Ninja?

 Lucas is.

 Abbey is.

 Ammon is: hiiiiiiiii-ya! (complete with block throwing)

Lea is a homework Ninja:

 She looks thrilled doesn't she?? :)

So long, farewell

 Off they go:

seriously - the camera adds 10 lbs.........how many cameras are on you??? (do you watch 'friends'?, that would be so much funnier if you did - refer to the below picture. ugh)

Jeff took these next couple of pictures and I  got in trouble.

 Thanks for coming - always a joy!

 Dear Culvers, 

You had me at 'buttered bread' and 'mint oreo'.

After Cabellas and all that 'hunting and camping', we needed a good meal and dessert since the girls had already eaten at Taco Bell. Poor Mo was exhausted and slept through the food and fun.

 3 Generations

 I don't know.

 Lucas was unable to get to his seat in a 'normal' way - see Grandpa's crooked hat??

 Pretending to not notice that dad is stealing his treat.

 GUILTY! Jeff was taking Lucas' bite from grandpa and leaving him with the custard, not the candy.

Time out is so much more fun when you put yourself there and mom has a new camera.

 Good morning Mo! Sorry you missed the party.
