Phineas' Fifth Birthday

Phineas turned 5 years old last Sunday.  His birthday began in an airport hotel bar, where we were still getting dinner at 12:00 a.m. after getting rerouted because United canceled one of our flights back from Wyoming (there was nowhere else open!).  We finally got home around 1 pm and an hour later Gido, Sandy, Grammie Friend, James and Trisha came over to celebrate.  Phineas was very happy and had a great time, and got lots of neat new presents.  Thanks!

(here's Phineas, 10 minutes before midnight, playing cars and completely oblivious of the bad situation we were all in!)

Riding his bike in the house

Here are a couple of pictures of Phineas being silly with Juno and riding his bike in the house while he waited for dinner.  He has fun!

Preschool Graduation

Because Phineas is old enough to go to school next year, he was part of the "graduating" class at his preschool.  They even held a short ceremony today--it was Hawaiian themed.  Here are some pictures of the crazy-haired kid:

Memorial Day Weekend

Over Memorial Day Weekend we were able to visit with lots of family in Brooklin and Sedgwick. It was a beautiful, warm day so we went down to the beach. While the cousins were having a blast gathering slimy and pinching sea creatures from under the seaweed, Phineas much preferred walking along the shore and climbing on the rocks.

Getting Ready for the New House

We are closing on our new house this week and are getting very excited! It's a 100 year old house that needs lots of work and updating, but we are happy to have a place to call our own. Here are some pictures of us at the house last week when the septic system was being worked on. Phineas liked checking out the excavator they had on site.

Mother's Day 2014

It was a beautiful Mother's Day this year so we went to our old stomping ground - Spruce Mountain - for a hike and then went to Mom's favorite ice cream place, John's Ice Cream in Liberty.  It was a fun afternoon!

Enjoying the Sunshine

Here is Phineas enjoying the sunshine and warm weather (finally!) last weekend.

Dentist Vist

Phineas went to the dentist last week for a cleaning.  He liked sitting in the electric chair and Mr. Thirsty.  And the good news is that he has good teeth!

Easter 2014

Here are some pictures of Phineas' Easter egg hunt this year.  He was so excited he was up at 6 am!

  

Lazy Sunday Lego Lunch

Here's Phineas enjoying lunch in his pajamas after a morning of Lego play.  It was a beautiful day, though, so we did get outside later to go for a bike ride!
