Nickelback...

Tyler and I went to the Nickelback concert this weekend. It was a blast!

Happy Birthday to ME...

Momma's Helper...NOT!!!

Baby Kyler...

Not sure what the tongue is all about, but look how cute that little boy is!

Jeep Camping...

Click on the picture above for a close-up. Not sure where McKinley learned that sticks can be pretend cigars? Tyler?!?

Fish ON

McKinley got a "Born to be Wild" flask for her birthday. She LOVED drinking water/juice from it. I think she knew she was living on the edge:)

We had a great camping trip this weekend. It was McKinley's first time sleeping in a tent- she loved it! We feel so blessed to be surrounded by such great friends & family!

We also had a bit of craziness. We came across a group of dirt bikers/4-wheelers (none of which had any protective gear, few had helmets, etc.) A young girl had nearly broken her foot/ankle as it fell off the peg of a 4-wheeler and her foot/leg got ran over-she had big gashes down to her bone. Luckily we had a well stocked first aid kit. We ended up taking her and her boyfriend (who was ejected over his 4 wheeler with no helmet/gear) down to where the ambulance was waiting. It was a good reminder to always be prepared and ALWAYS wear a helmet and protective gear! AND, it's probably not a good idea to ride behind someone on a 4-wheeler built for one. I think we've all been there and done something not-so-bright like that and that poor girl had to learn the hard way.

Yipp-Stick...

I am so pretty, oh so pretty...

One Year Ago...

Then...

How does the time fly by so quickly?

This picture was taken last year on a hike we took in mid-August on Chinook Pass. Not much has changed in the hair department:) It's still wild!

Now...

Sunday Fun!...

1...2...3...

Sundays are meant to be spent with family and friends. I'd say we had a perfect Sunday...

Baby Kyler!!!...

Marcus & Stacy welcomed the newest member of their family yesterday. Kyler Chlarson made his entrance 2 weeks early. He weighs 6lbs 9oz. He is darling and has dark hair. We went to visit he & Stacy (& Sparky & Coops) at the hospital yesterday.

Just a few hours old.

Hopefully no one was resting...these two hoodlums were running down the hall screaming:) Ooops. Sorry O-B dept.

Vintage...

Our dear friend Hailey's bachelorette party was Saturday night. Amanda and I got dressed up Vintage and had a blast- fishnets and all! It was so fun going to a themed party!

Beach or BUST...

Flowers in front of the Tokeland Hotel. Gammie took this picture. Cute!
Dad calls me Scooter. Someone even named a boat after me!

Up and down, up and down this log!

Dad & I went on a charter boat salmon fishing. It was a hoot! And we did quite well. These are all the fish our entire boat caught- well, the ones we could keep anyway. What an arm workout!

Our daughter is infatuated with "tac-tors"

"Cheese"

Popcorn with Bumpa.

Walking the plank with Gammie.

Enjoying some cream at the Tokeland Hotel.

Editor's note: this picture was before a "lesson learned" experience.

Here is my darling daughter trying to pick the lock on the beach house door that she graciously locked for me. Needless to say, the key was on the kitchen counter! Yep, lesson learned! $50 locksmith bill later...

Who me?

Too much fun playing in the sand.

Park time with Uncle Tyler...

Big kids like slides too:)
