Marko's Early 50th Birthday Party

Shuckin' corn...

Ozzie decides to "help."

Izzie finds a suitable throne.

Zoe relaxes in a chair as well.

Izzie hits the 'burners as she frolics in the grass...

Zoe has some fun on the lawn too...

The family relaxes by the pool.

Izzie hangs out with her cousin Daniel.

Cousins Lydia and Daniel.

Bubbles! :-)

Zoe enjoys the pool with Mama.

Izzie was initially adamant about not going in the pool but was great once Driko convinced her to get in.  Hopefully someone has pictures!

Zoe shows off "tricks." :-)

Zoe monopolizes the train table. ;-)

The girls really enjoyed the sandbox.

The kids got over their fear of "Tank" after playing with him for a while.

Happy (early) Birthday, Marko!

We get an all-too-rare family picture. :-)

A nice picture of the extended Koropeckyj family.

Thanksgiving 2010

OK, I said that I would work backwards, but I'm flip-flopping. ;-p Here are some long-overdue photos from Thanksgiving 2010...

 Izzie sported an up 'do for the festivities.

Zoe shows off her outfit.

 Didyo spends some time with the girls.

 Zoe enjoys some cranberry sauce, among the other Thanksgiving fare that she sampled.

 Zoe was slightly, um, disheveled after her scrumptious Thanksgiving meal.

 Zoe was initially less than pleased with her resulting hairdo...

 ...but was more appreciative of a variant 'do. :-)

 Thanksgiving at the Koropeckyjs!

Yes, please! :-)

Izzie emerged in much better condition than Zoe after her meal, but then again, she doesn't share Zoe's inclination to eat just about everything given to her.

"Low Five!" :-)

Marko attempts to communicate with the girls through a serious of hand gestures and guttural clicking noises.

The girls didn't know what to make of this obviously hostile gesture.

However, Izzie soon reciprocated, and a cautious truce was reached.

Mama and Izzie share some nice smiles.

Izzie gets chased by Vuyko Marko.

All fall down!

[Insert hilarious caption here]

The girls loved chasing/being chased by Vuyko Marko...

I wish I had video to accompany this one... :-)

Izzie just barely makes the extra point, dashing any hopes of a last-minute comeback by the Cowboys.

Izzie is all about ball security as she looks for an open (?) Vuyko Marko under the entertainment center.  In the meantime, Zoe provides excellent pass protection.

Wheeee! :-)

Everybody gets their own juice, including Driko. :-)
