It's Summertime!

You know it is summer when the kids are out eating raspberries. This is one reason I have a garden. Snacktime in the garden!

Lake Roosevelt

We left for Lake Roosevelt at 5:30 am June 18th. We stayed three nights camping at a boat-in only campground with four other couples. We had a total of 10 adults, 14 kids, and 3 boats! It was the first time tent camping with the girls. I was a little scared they wouldn't sleep well, but they did great. We didn't even have to put up the pack n' plays. Ezra asks me almost everyday when we can go camping again. Vaughn was the real camper and slept in a tent all by himself.

Dana and I followed the surfing boat in our boat.


Nora slept like this for an hour!




I'm not sure if we have enough people in this boat. What do you think?










Caleb and Vaughn showing off their muscles!





The boys spent a lot of time playing on the surf boards.






We let the kids play on this hill until we saw two scorpions on it!


Tyler and Brian contemplating jumping.
And they jumped!




















Going For a Walk
















Moses Lake

We went to Moses Lake at the end of May. We stayed in a little cabin for three nights. We would go over to the dunes in the boat and let the kids play on the beach. That would actually entertain them for a few hours at a time! The two person table in the cabin obviously wasn't big enough for us so we would eat out on the porch.


Vaughn spent a lot of time running around in the dunes.


We couldn't keep Nora out of the water. She has to always wear her life vest because she has no fear of the water.

Mila spend a lot of time chillin' in the boat until she decided playing on the beach might be fun too.




I'm not sure if Ezra is squinting from the sun or from the reflection off of his upper arms!




Nora loves to follow her daddy around, or anyone bigger than her for that matter. She just wants to be one of the big kids.


Baseball


Vaughn played coach pitch baseball this spring.

Happy 2nd Birthday Mila and Nora!

The girls turned two on May 8th! We had a party with the family. They got a little retro kitchen, lots of stuff to play with in their kitchen and some clothes. They had fun opening presents!





A little bit of team work opening presents!


As you can see Nora couldn't wait to blow out her candles. I made cupcakes and put a tinkerbell and ladybug on them.
