Playing in the water...

Weekend at Nana's...

McKinley and Nana jumping on the trampoline.


The very fun fountain at Bensen winery. She spent a long time playing with the water. They had a neat sitting area next to the fountain with a great view of the lake.

Who needs to spend $$$ for facial scrubs. Just have McKinley help you:)
Naked baby.

We had a great time visiting Nana & Alan. Saturday morning Mom & I went yard-sailing and made a Costco run. After we cleaned up, we all drove to Chelan for the day. We had lunch at one of the many great wineries there and also stopped at a few others to taste the goods. McKinley was such a trooper all day. We found a great little spot to play in the water-which she loved-clothes and all. I spent a few hours shopping this morning- loved the free time:)

Tyler made it home safely from Boise. He had a great time with Miles & Amanda. I wish I could have gone to play:)

Catchin' up...

Poor Cooper taking a beating at book club.
Can you say "no" to those big brown eyes?
The best invention ever!
I don't know how this can be comfortable!?!

Ohhh sooo pretty!

Won't be able to do a bath in the sink for much longer:(

Bad girl! She loves to crinkle the cans.

We had such a fun camping trip! We arrived Thursday evening, set up camp and settled in for some fun! There was hiking, biking, 4-wheelering and relaxing galore. Marcus, Stacy & Cooper arrived Friday as well as Kelly, Michelle & Hayden. The kids enjoyed the great outdoors and were super troopers. Poor Cooper didn't feel well on Sunday though. Here are some pictures from our weekend. I had a hard time picking them- as always there were too many to choose from. Hope everyone had a safe and memorable weekend. We didn't get home until 8:30 last night. Oh and our dryer is still out of commission. I am picking up the "part" later today. Hopefully that works. If not, I'm going shopping!!!

Lots of love!

Dead Dryer...

For the last year or so I have whined and whined about our washer and dryer. They were cheap. It was all we could afford when we were building our house. Anyway, I want the fancy front loaders since I spend a good portion of my life doing laundry. Well, earlier this week I noticed the dryer continuously running- didn't think much of it as I wasn't really sure how long it had been running- since I have no real concept of time anymore. The next day after I had noticed it running and running, the heat stopped. Okay, now we have a problem! Needless to say, after a good hours worth of Tyler throwing tools and parts(not really throwing, but pretty close!), we "THINK" we know what the problem is, have a part ordered (which was broken when we got the first one- it's a sign!) And, of course the stupid part didn't show up today. It will be here tomorrow as we are camping our little lives away. So after 5 days of camping, plus all the laundry at home, I get to come home to this...

A dual purpose table/laundry rack.

My new dryer...At least it is cheap! And we don't mind crisp clothes! :)

Have a great weekend, be safe, don't drink & drive and wear your seat belt! Later.

Just like Daddy...

What the heck happened in here? Oh wait, I now have a Toddler on my hands. :)

The big FIT after I took the cookie away...The picture taken before this one showed her flat out on the floor screaming- you couldn't see her face, so I posted this picture instead.

This morning as I was running around the kitchen with my head cut off, I realized that McKinley was playing in the "snack" cupboard- she always does, so I didn't think anything of it...UNTIL, I really paid attention! Jackpot!...We have ourselves one smart little cookie. Ha! Get it- smart cookie!! :)

Yeee-Haw! Giddy Up, Buttercup!

We had a great weekend! Saturday we went to Granny & Grandpa for lunch. They had a wonderful feast for their branding crew. After lunch we came home and played in the pool. Nana and Uncle Tyler came over to visit. When McKinley got up from her nap we hauled the camp trailer to Marcus & Stacy's. McKinley and Cooper played and played. They even took a bath together since they were so dirty. McKinley didn't love it, but Cooper had a blast in the tub. After we put the kids to bed we sat around the fire. I watched Cooper Sunday morning so Stacy could ride- we had a great time. He is such a good little boy. The little ones had lots of fun playing and hamming it up for everyone. We called it a weekend by going out to dinner as a family. It was wonderful.

Ta ta.
