Vacation

Instead if attempting to traipse half way across the country and back with the kids Dad and Bec brought Grandma and Grandpa Blue with them and took the kids to McCall for a few days. The kids had a blast hiking, swimming and generally getting spoiled rotten

Visit

Kevin's family came to see us last week. while everyone was together it of course was a great opportunity to take a family picture. It is not the best, but not too bad for setting the timer and running for it.

We were at the Depot on a rare day it was open to the public so we visited inside and even rode the elevator all the way to the top.

"I can whistle"

That is what George told me the other day. Surprisingly, he can! Then he wanted me to take his picture doing it. I love the look on his face, he is concentrating so hard.

Baby Shower

Grandmas

Sisters!

Another of my fabulous sisters in law is having a baby soon. We hosted a shower for her while we were all together over the weekend. Pink or blue we are not 100% sure. Well, Lee and Aleesha are, but they are not sharing, the ninnies. We were at a bit of a loss over the decorations so we went for Aleesha's favorite colors, really the party is for her anyways. :) If it is a boy there will be an interesting tale to tell in his baby book.

Izzy had the camera so I take no responsibility for these. Oh.. Lee had it some too. It kept walking out of my hands.

Presents! No, the party was not just about these, but lets face it we all like them.
Especially to Ohh and Ahh over the cute baby stuff.

Friends and family joined to celebrate

A Good Aunt

Izzy is such a good aunt. While we were getting ready for Aleesha's baby shower She wore Will around in the sling. Then Lilly needed held too so she picked her up and toted both of them around. It was hillarious to watch her with both of them. Of course she was giggling like crazy because Will wouldn't stop sucking on her arm, he gave her a hickey!

Playing at the park

Our local Parks and Rec department has a fantastic program in the parks during the summer. they have a free sack lunch and then some kind of activity every weekday. The kids LOVE going. We often meet up with some friends. It is so much fun to chat in the shade with other moms while the kids play with their friends.
