Sleepy Aubrey!

Sorry to say I did not get a picture of this, but it is a funny story all the same. After a busy couple of weeks of camping and playing with cousin Jackson. Sleep finally caught up with Aubrey. As we were outside visiting, Aubrey decided to go for a little swing on the swing set. She can get herself really high and was doing alot of pumping. Next thing we see is Aubrey just relaxing on the swing no pumping and then we watch her head slowly lean to one side. It took us a second to decide if she was really sleeping and yep she was. Nate was quick on his feet and got over there before she fell off the swing. Nothing like rocking yourself to sleep.

Timber Round Two!

Once again we woke up to a tree in our yard. This is the third tree we have lost this summer, the second tree didn't fall into our yard.

Camping And A Visit With GG Janet!

The kids got a chance to see GG Janet when she spent a couple days camping with us.


Jackson and Porter found a dirt pile near the campsite and this is how they looked after digging with spoons. Aubrey was just as messy put chose to get clean much early then the boys.

Swimming in Lake.

Warming each other up.

Aubrey on the tube. She rode out there for almost 30 min. She was so tired she almost fell asleep out there.

I was really proud of my little Porter, he decided he wanted to try skiing. He got out there and give it his all. He didn't get up but I'm sure that he will master it by next year.

Fireman Porter!

Porter decided he wanted to be a Fireman this year for Halloween. As soon as I got his costume he wanted to try it on.
