Have you ever seen a cheesier picture in your whole life? My softball game at Stodden got cancelled so we just played on the playground.
Here is our Burgman family pic for the summer of '08. Little Kyle was in Spokane and Kelsie is in Alaska (we miss you Kels!). Carl and Jenny were in for eight days, and we (as usual) had lots of fun with them. Hope your flight went okay - see you next year!
I look absolutely massive in this picture, but it's still cute. Carter thought he was pretty cool sitting on the bench like a big boy.
Kyle graduated from the Montana Law Enforcement Academy on Friday! Yay - the twelve long weeks are over! It was a very nice ceremony, and he had lots of supportive people there: Dick, Diana, Callie, me, Mom, Carl, and Jenny. We are proud of him and glad to have him home.
This was his "cell" that he slept in for three months. It was about the tiniest room I've ever seen. Luckily he made some nice friends there and learned a lot.
The boys love when they have stuff on their shirts that they recognize - like a ball in this case.
This is the funniest game ever. Landon puts his soothie in...and then waits for Carter to take it. Then they chase eachother around. It's very funny. Carter is just waiting for the right moment to strike here.
Here it is...attack mode! Carter is pretty good at getting it, but Landon has some good evasive moves.
This is just a nice picture of Laney getting some loves from Erica and Landon. Landon really does love her and is very nice to her.
Here is Carter having some of my pasty. He ate about half of it. He is a very big fan of potatoes and gravy!
This is a nice picture of his "kitty face". He goes absolutely crazy when he sees the cat next door walk by the fence. You can also see his bruise from falling on the sidewalk.
The sandbox has really increased Carter's baths lately. I'm not sure how he does it, but he gets sand to stick to his scalp like glue.
We took a really fun trip to Clark's Park last night - just to get the boys out of the house. Carter had a good time riding this ladybug.
Landon didn't want to ride the other ladybug, but he did help Carter bounce on it. They are pretty good to eachother.
Here's Landon and his Momma riding the tire swing. Lando has a very cute smile here.
Carter thought this tunnel was pretty cool. He and Jordan had a good time on the curvy slide.
I'm not sure what he is smiling at so much here. I just like the big smile.
He loved this horse. He kept petting it and saying "neigh". Landon once again helped him bounce on it!
Look at these clowns! They love to try and climb up slides. They went down this yellow one quite a few times. Abbey was the catcher.
Landon gave Jordan a nice push on the tire swing. He's very strong.
Once again, not my best photo. Carter looks pretty excited though!
Here's a lovely action photo that Erica took. Carter really likes to go down the slide by himself. Abbey said he blinks really fast all the way down! It was 90 some degrees yesterday, and he looked smashing in his shark onesie and huge shoes!
These pictures are from last weekend. Grandma and Grandpa got the boys some lovely purple lawnchairs with fish on them. Landon backs into his, but Carter has to climb.
Madisyn came over to play on Sunday night. She didn't want to get in the sandbox, but she did play with the sand. It was pretty funny.
I love this picture of the three of them. Madisyn really liked this police car. Landon kept peeking through the window and smiling. Carter just wanted to get in the fire car.
Carter kept opening the door to the car, and Madisyn would say "No". I told Ritter she might have to get her one of those. She was having a good time.
Madisyn went down the slide a couple times too. Her hair is getting so long. I just think she is such a pretty little girl.
I had to put this one up. Nothing exciting is going on. He just looks so cute and serious. He is my handsome little guy! Hope you enjoyed the huge post!
When Carter puts them on himself they are either on the back of his head or around his neck (in this case). I love this face though - you can't deny that he's cute.
He just loves to help Grandpa vacuum. He gets so excited about it.
We took the boys swimming up at Butte High. They were so good. They also slept very well that night! Here's Jordan and Carter in their new swim wear.
Here's Landon and his Momma in the pool - so cute. Grandma got the boys some very patriotic swim trunks because they both like stars.
I had to take a couple pictures before I got in. Here's a nice group photo.
Landon loves Laney so much. He kept peeking over the coffee table and laughing at her while she laid on the floor. He's a goof.
Carter decided to join in on the fun after that. Can you tell they just had a peppermint patty? That is their big treat if they are good boys.
This was on the way up to the pool. They were holding hands in the backseat of Erica's car and laughing at eachother.
We still use Carter's baby seat in Erica's car. He's not 25 pounds yet! This is why they have such a good time - they are facing eachother.
I guess Jord wasn't really looking at me - oops! This was at the parade; Carter was pointing at some horses. Both boys were so good. They watched the whole parade.
Later that afternoon, we walked to Clark's Park so the boys could play. Carter ran out of steam before we got there. Oh well, next time.
Lando had a fantastic time though. He ran all over the place. Here he is on the swings with his buddy Abbey.
I like this action photo. You can tell that Landon was running just as fast as he could go.
The boys got a cool pool last week. They haven't really sat in it yet, but they think it's pretty fascinating.
It has a basketball hoop, a slide, and a ring toss thing. The boys really like the rings.
One of the valves popped out and water leaked all over the place. Carter and Landon thought this was the best thing that ever happened. Here's Carter stomping around in the water.
Look at these clowns. It was going well until Landon took Carter's shovel and Carter fell over. The water was a bit cold. They were both absolutely soaked and not happy about having to get changed. I have a video of them stomping around in here. I'll have to put that up soon.
We bought them some beach balls at Walmart. They are a big hit so far. They like to kind of lay on them, throw them, kick them...all kinds of fun stuff.
Carter (and his fake Wii remote) was golfing with Uncle Kyle. He loves the Wii - I'll have to get a video of him swinging the remote. It's hilarious.
Last but not least, Congatulations to one of my best friends, Dana! She had her second baby girl on July 3rd at 10:57pm. I didn't get a name yet, but she has red hair like her sister Jada. Congrats again to Dana and Jason. I'm sure she's beautiful!
