Neighborhood Party Pictures

Jocie is showing off for the camera as she licks her drink

In preparation for the party, beautiful tables filled with food and deserts were put together by the neighborhood. Jocie decided to help out by finding these two bins that the kids have been using to move dirt around in the backyard. After being told that we didn't want these on the table with the food, Jocie tossed them on the ground and headed back towards her table and awaited dinner...


Caught, with her hand in the cookie bowl! (and note the full mouth indicating a previous cookie munching offence...)


Jessamyn loves flowers just as much as her mother...

Apparently Sony loves children as much as we do. She and Cassy have learned to climb the steep ladder into the kids playhouse (a full 5 feet above ground).

Yard Kids

At this point, the expression on Jocie's face seems to say: "Oh my gosh, how did my brother get up there!!! Did I run over him with the car?"


"Daddy, I want a drink of your 'Daddy Juice'" (Note: 'Daddy Juice' is the Pike family name given to my favorite drink - lemonade... not some sort of alcoholic beverage)

Jess proceeded to take Jocie's sippy cup, left behind from dinner just a few minutes prior, and attempt to take a drink from it.

"Jess, that's not 'Daddy Juice', that's Jocie's milk from dinner."

"No it's not Daddy, you're just being silly. It's 'Daddy Juice'"

A few moments later she exclaims "Yuck, that's milk, I wanted 'Daddy Juice'"


Ho hum... lazy day just lounging around in a swimsuit in the back yard...

And the Winner Is

This creative "picture" was part of an annual 4th of July parade at the Old Club on Harsen's Island, MI. What a great idea!

A quiet sit with a friend

Joey and Jess share an ice cream treat on the deck

Jocie is busy walking to try and catch up with her older siblings


Who is walking who?

Is Jessamyn walking Sony... or is Sony walking Jessamyn?
