A hill of dirt with a flag, on our driveway.

You may be familiar with Drake's obsession with taping things. Well, Shad brought home a bunch of old stickers from his office (normally used on the edges of file folders) and thought they would be fun for the kids. Graham and Avery enjoyed them fine, but Drake really went to town.

I can't wait to try and take this off the wall.

At least it makes Drake happy, right?

Watching a movie.

Cuteness.

Avery sporting her new toddler bed right after we got it set up---no more crib!

She loves it, and usually jumps into bed every night.

Climbing the apricot tree.

Decorating their "jolly jars".

Fingerpainting with pistachio pudding and a neighbor friend.

One day, the boys were supposed to be cleaning their room. Instead of cleaning it, they pulled their comforters and all the sheets off of their beds to add to the chaos. So I told them it was their responsibility to put their sheets back on. Those sweet boys took the entire mattress off the bottom bunk in order to try and get the sheets back on. I took a picture, and then went in to help them finish.

And this is Graham in Avery's bed. The last few nights, Graham has been getting out of his bed and climbing in with Avery. The two just lay there and talk and laugh for a while until they either get sick of each other, or Graham just climbs back out and gets back into his bed.

Just some of the joys of June.
