Newport Parade




It's Rodeo Weekend in Newport ... we watched the parade on Saturday. I'm not sure if the kids like the floats and antique cars or the candy ... hmmmm!

Boating on Diamond Lake




It was a beautiful day ... we couldn't resist taking the boat out on the water. The kids had a blast cooling off on the tube and swimming in the lake.

Teenage Driver ALERT!

Courtney was relieved when she passed her driver's test last week. Congratulations Courtney!

Cub Scout Day Camp


Kai attended his Cub Scout Day Camp, "Anchors Away" this week ... we went on the last day and watched all the skits and ate dinner. Kai's friend, Conner was in his den ... they had fun together. Even after being lofted off the tire swing at the camp last night (right on his face) ... Sam still can't wait to be in cub scouts.

Associate of Arts Degree



I finally finished my classes and graduated with my Associate of Arts degree last week. Chris and the kids got me these beautiful flowers. I went in for Lasik Eye Surgery the morning after my graduation, so I had to wear my glasses and NO makeup ... I was thrilled.

The only thing cute about gas

Chris took Sam with him this morning to get gas in the car ... when they drove up to the pump Chris said, "oh man, gas went up again!" He wasn't expecting a response, when Sam shook his head and said, "when is the madness going to end?!" Chris had to stop himself from laughing out loud.

Kai's birthday breakfast in bed

Kai requested crepes for his birthday breakfast ... usually he's awake listening to us in the kitchen, but today he was sound asleep when we came into his room singing "happy birthday". Happy Birthday buddy!

Party at the CAMAS Center





Kai celebrated his 9th birthday at the Camas Wellness Center in Cusick. The boys enjoyed swimming, the water slide, rock climbing, basketball and being C-R-A-Z-Y!!!! We came back to the house for cake and ice cream. Lots of fun!!

Sam's Kindergarten Graduation




Sam graduated from Kindergarten this week ... on to first grade!

Our big helper!

Sam loves to help when we're working in the yard,
