Busy Summer

It has been an extremely busy 4 weeks for us. We have traveled the last four weekends and we are looking forward to staying home for a few. I will tell you about each place as the pictures come.

First we went to Seattle to celebrate my mom's 60th birthday. It was a great evening out. My dad planned a surprise party at one of their favorite restaurants in Mukilteo just for the adults in our family. Then we went back to her house to have dessert and presents with all the kids.

These are my lovely sisters!

Jackson started putting his hands on his cheeks when he eats. I think it is pretty cute!

The park near our house has concerts every Thursday night during the summer. Jacob, Mags, and I had fun people watching and "talking" while Jackson and Daddy played on the toy set.

My parents rented a cabin from her school auction on the Teaneway River near Cle Elum. Marcus came up for the weekend and the boys and I stayed until the 4th of July. Jackson loved getting wet in the river and playing with his cousins.

This is my dad, aka "Papa".

This is one of my favorite things that newborns do...I call it the butt lift. This was also one of the last times Jacob did it!

The boys weren't with their cousin on the 4th, but we do like to coordinate clothing for pictures!

We went to the fair grounds to grab some food and let Jackson do some rides. We did not stay for the fireworks as we were all exhausted in the 100+ weather! Instead, we let Jackson strip down and take a swim before bed.

Next we headed to Pullman to celebrate Marc's birthday with family and friends. We got together with many of Marc's friends, as there are 4 with birthdays near each other. It was great seeing everyone and the 11 kids ages 3 and under.

Jackson loves going underwater. Thankfully it is only when we are with him!

This past weekend we headed to Pullman once again to see his brother and family that came up from Texas. Then went to Spokane to see our newest nephew. This wild fire was about 200 feet off the road and started by lightening. It sure made driving a bit interesting.

Family pics are difficult with a 2 yr. old and an infant!

Mags thought it was too hot, even for slip-n-sliding!
