Sept 2007 - Washing the Car

It would not be the end of Summer without giving the car a last wash before it gets too cold to do it ourselves. Mike decided to wash the cars...with the kids helping, it took a LOT longer than it normally would have :) Afterwards Mike said that it was worth paying to take it to the local carwash :) Ha ha ha!!!

Sept 2007 - Tyler in the Sprinklers

Tyler is such a little boy - I cannot take him anywhere with water, because look what happens...

Sept 2007 - Granny and Grandad

Granny and Grandad are FINALLY living in the US! Here they are with the kids on a break at Temescal Canyon.

Aug 2007 - The Varkie's at The Grove

What monthly post would be complete without a picture at The Grove ??? ;) Here are Grandad, Mindy, Matty, Granny, Nikki & Tyler on the Tram.

Aug 2007 - Princess Jasmine

Nicole has loved Princess Jasmine (from Aladdin) since she was 2, it still amazes me that Princess Jasmine is STILL her favorite - but here Nikki is again, dressed as Princess Jasmine at her friend Rachel's Birthday Party

Aug 2007 - Cool Dudes

Tyler "helped" Uncle Ryan to look cool by sharing his pair of Nemo sunglasses - needless to say, he put them on Uncle Ryan's head for him ")

Aug 2007 - The Cousins

No visit with the family would be complete without a picture of the cousins. Here are Nikki, Tyler and Matty!

Aug 2007 - Sleeping Beauties

Our dear little Tyler is what you could call a "snuggle bug". He loves to cozy up next to a warm body, and take a nap. When Ryan and Wynne were visiting, they decided to take a nap on the couch. Tyler decided to join the party I guess, he hopped onto Ryan's lap, made himself comfy, and went to dreamland with them :)

Aug 2007 - Young Love

Nicole has a new boyfriend, his name is Cameron Simpson, and she has it all worked out. They are going to get married, have 4 kids (2 girls, and 2 boys), and they are going to live in Idaho, because "Idaho is good for kids". I had to laugh when she told me that Cameron doesn't know where Idaho is, but she will show him - good thing seeing that they are going to live and raise their family there :)

Aug 2007 - The LA Zoo with Baby Addison

On August 1st we got together with Mike's cousin Briana, and her adorable little gril Addison and we went to the LA Zoo. It was pretty warm, but it was a great visit. This was the first time that Tyler has taken such an interest in the animals. We will have to do this again!
