Water Party

My friend Angie had her annual Water party this last Monday before school starts. The kids all had lunch and then played all kinds of water toys. There were 2 pools, water slides, water balloons, water guns, squirt guns, etc. There were about 25 kids there and they all had a blast. Thanks Angie for putting in all the hard work to get this planned.

Caught in the Act

We had given the kids some Fruit popsicles in the kitchen. Sandon was done and off upstairs playing and this is what we found in the kitchen. Raleigh up on top of the table trying to finish her treat. We took a few pics before she noticed she was caught.

Piper Anne

Here are some recent pics of the Little Miss...She is getting so big...Not that big because she is only exactly 11 lbs even. She is so much fun and this girl can talk for hours.

Blown Tire

We were going up through Snoqualmie Pass on our way back home from vacationing when Doug thought maybe we had a flat tire. It was so windy out that it was hard to tell, and just when he decided to start getting over to check it out the tire blew out. It was pretty scary considering what could have happened. I know that the lord was looking out for us because we had to cross two lanes of traffic to pull off to the right side of the road and the blow out was on the left rear and no one was next to us thank goodness. I am so glad that I wasn't driving at the time. Other than this, our ride to and fro was great. The kids did so well. Driving at night is so much better since the kids sleep the whole time.

Trip to Washington

Here are a ton of photos taken on our trip in Washington. There are pictures at Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium and riding a Camel, The water front in Tacoma, The Port of Tacoma where Grandpa Curt works, Hot tubing, etc. We had such a good time.

They got to sit in the patrol cars and push all the sirens and buttons
