Simon is rock solid at third base |
Fielding an easy grounder |
He's got a good arm |
The Tigers have a lot to be proud of |
At the river with the Boese boys |
Hiking in the foothills |
Evan and Kristina |
Intrepid scramblers |
"We're not lost, are we?" |
Hikers take a break |
The dynamic duo |
Replenishing their energy |
This is easier said than done |
Silliness at the ice cream shop |
Simon in cowboy hat |
Practicing his rodeo moves |
Bedtime stories with Stephen |
Garage mayhem after a good day |
At a Black Stars game |
Eye on the ball |
Kristina plays for team USA |
Guarding the goal |
Kristina makes the save |
Always ready to play |
No one ever accused her of slacking off |
Saying hello to the fans |
Balloons over Albuquerque |
Trying to get a better view |
A balloon passes over our car |
Simon waves to the pilot |
"Balloon chasing is fun!" |
It's time to buy our chiles for the year |
"These are too red; I'd like green ones, please." |
Lanes enjoy lollipops at the chile stand |
Time to celebrate Annie's half birthday! |
She's two and a half, but she eats like a seven-year-old |
Shall we do our traditional half-birthday dip in the pool? |
"Why not?" |
Simon takes the plunge |
Seems a little cold... |
A rapid escape |
Simon declares that the water is indeed cold |
Kristina seconds Simon's declaration |
"My feet are getting numb, how cool." |
Annie survives a quick dip |
Simon warms up in the sun |
It's not so bad after all |
We all jumped in, so Annie is officially 2 and 1/2 |
Another day at the ballpark |
Baserunners, beware! |
Simon gets a big hit |
Full speed ahead |
He makes it to third base |
It's an exciting night for the fans |
"I'm not sure I really understand how to play this Risk game." |
"But for some reason, I'm feeling lucky." |
Yikes! After one lucky roll, Simon becomes a power-hungry aggressor |
The girls prefer dining chairs to actual vehicles |
Annie feels a little underdressed for some reason |
"Are my shoes too big?" |
Fancy 'dos |
It's "crazy hair day" at school |
Goggles for bathtime |
After the neighborhood pumpkin carving party |
Friends shouldn't let friends mutilate pumpkins |
Getting Annie into her costume |
Q: "Simon, how do I look?" |
A: "You look trashy." |
Kristina's costume has multiple themes |
She just needs a little help with her shinguards |
The Lanes in costume! |
Poseidon, Lord of the Seas |
The Batman-skeleton-soccerplayer |
Annie the trashcan |
Uncle Sam is excited to hand out candy |
Kristina is ready to hit the candy circuit |
Poseidon is ready for action |
Maybe he's just excited for Halloween candy |
Kristina is apparently excited too |
Lots of neighbors stop by before trick or treating |
They must have heard we had good treats |
Back from the T-or-T circuit, Annie is ready for chocolate |
Ten minutes later, she enters a sugar coma |
