Blueberry Bombers!!

If you have never watched 4 & 5 year olds play T-ball, I highly recommend it. Here are some pictures of our first game, last Thursday in the 100 degree heat!

Carsyn....

The other day she is talking on her cell phone and this is what I hear..."and then my water broke, and I was like, oh no my water broke! What do I do? And then the whole country's water broke!"

She has been wearing my one pair of heels around the house since we went to the parade (very inspired by the drill teams) Anyway......heels are on, she is loading up her babies in her stroller.... " Ok, hang on babies , this is gonna be a bumpy ride, I got my heels on today" LOL!

He's TWO!

Our baby is two :) He had a wonderful Birthday hanging at the Zoo by day and partying at the jumpy house by night. He is such a sweet sweet little man, and such a mama's boy, and I'm loving every minute of it :) Soon, he will want nothing to do with me. He had a good 2 yr appt, weighing 27 lbs and 33 3/4 inches tall! He is a little guy, but doing great :)

Happy Campers!

After a great 4th of July weekend at the lake with friends, we set out for our family camping trip! Nothing better than no phone, computer or TV for a week. First stop Pearrygin Lake, just a few miles from Winthrop, WA. This was our 3rd year at Pearrygin, but our first time getting a camp spot right on the water :) It was fun having our own little beach access. We rode bikes, played Tball, went to the beach, walked to the little store to spend money, had campfires with smores, took a trip into town to get ice cream, went fishing, and even rented a boat! So fun. Carsyn has caught many fish in her short 4 1/2 years, but this trip she caught her first fish from a boat!!! It was pretty cool :) After 4 nights at Pearrygin we packed up and headed to Bridgeport, WA. We were taking a gamble as this was a smaller park that did not take reservations, yikes. Luckily, as we were pulling in looking for a spot someone was packing up and getting ready to pull out. Yay! For the next 3 days this was our home. All the sites bordered a huge field that was perfect for Tball, soccer, and some rousing games of marco polo! The swimming area was great, very shallow and lots of rocks for Bud to throw, and fish & bugs for Carsyn to catch in her new net! One of the greatest things about our new spot was, it was just 40 short minutes to the Chelan water slides!!! What fun! They had a perfect kiddie pool and slides for the kids and some really fun ones for mom and dad too :) Definitely going back. Once again, it was a great family vacation, can't wait until next year.....

Our toothless wonder

We have had 6 wiggly teeth for a long time, but I was still shocked to come home and find Carsyn with a missing tooth! We aren't sure when it actually came out? When I arrived at Papa's to pick her up, it was the first thing I noticed, but she hadn't realized she had lost it, so the tooth was lost...... :( I told her we would have to write the Tooth Fairy an IOU and off we went. Half way home we got a call that the tooth was found! Yay! The tooth made it safely home and under Carsyn's pillow.....the next morning the tooth was gone and the fairy had left $2, which Carsyn pooled with some of her other money she had been saving and bought diapers for her babies :) LOL

To the beach!

A little trip to the Oregon Coast :) Seaside, OR- one of my favorite places to visit...Thanks to the Gerber's we got a chance to stay at a beautiful place right on the ocean with a great pool and close to town. The weather was actually pretty nice, a little chilly and windy, but hey...it's the beach in OR, in April, what do you expect? We spent plenty of time on the beach, the pool, and the arcade :) I think Carsyn and Kayli rode the roller coaster video game ride about 20 times! There was a tractor on the beach the whole time we were there, so McCoy was in heaven :) We fed the seals at the aquarium, and got our family photo a the "old time" photo studio, something I have always wanted to do :) Happy early Mother's day to me! It was a great trip.

Brian James

Introducing our perfect beautiful nephew and cousin, Brian James :) He joined us April, 17th @ 9:47pm, weighing 9.6oz and 21 inches long. We are SO happy is here and healthy! Congrats Matt & Jackie.

Snoqualmie Falls

Last Saturday we headed to the lake for the night, we hadn't been as a family since December! It was a beautiful day, so we decide to stop at the Falls on the way. All our trips over the mountains and we have never stopped, it was well worth it :)

It was such a nice day, so we decide to take a walk to the river once we arrived at the lake. McCoy walked the whole way! Well, he did need a lift a few times, but he did great. Carsyn was equipped with her purple sequence purse and sunglasses to match! I think those kids could throw rocks in that river all day long :)
