Summer

The girls start school in just 2 days! 

We haven't done anything too exciting this summer, but we've had some fun times swimming, biking, camping, bowling, fishing, farmers market, yard sales, lemonade stands, softball, beach days, family visits, baby pools, soapy trampolines, and of course, sleeping in and watching cartoons until 10 or 11! (well, the girls anyway...)  Here's just a few random pictures from this summer.

Priest Lake Camping

We took our friends and their family camping with us at Priest Lake, since they have never been up there before! We had a blast! It was nice weather and sunny the whole week, plus Mike's parents let us borrow their boat, so we did some boating and tubing (with torpedo's). It was a great week that sadly had to end! :)

 The girls are wearing their life jackets like diapers! hahaha

 Poor Sydney fell and got all scraped up, everywhere! She used half my first aid kit! She never even cried! She was laughing! That's my Syd!

 Classic camping card games

We made corn on the cobb in the fire, which was actually very good! Brooklyn ate hers and then took mine and finished it!

 Our new tent was a success. LOVE the hinge door!

 Brooky driving the boat!

Sister Visits After 4 Years!

My sister, Amy, has been in Germany for the past 3years, and has finally moved back to the states, to Kansas. She decided to take a big road trip and visit all of us before school started! It was so nice to see her and her kids, whom I haven't seen in 4 years! They all seem to have had such a good time while in Germany with many fun stories and pictures! That being said, hey are glad to be back in the states as well though. I'm so glad you decided to visit all of us Aim! You look great as usual!

Happy Fourth !!

We decided to head up to Hell's Gate State Park, in Lewiston, where it was 10 degrees warmer! It was a lot of fun! Sometimes it's nice to do things with just your own little family! :)

 

Happy Fourth & Happy Birthday Mom!

Softball

The girls  played softball this summer. It was such a HOT time to play! But they both did great! Livia really enjoyed it and played great! Sydney played well too, and tried really hard, however, she did not enjoy it! And she ended up quitting the last 3 games! :( Oh well, now we can say we tried. We'll just mark that and soccer off her sports list! :) She still likes basketball she says! :)
