Papa's farm and STP

Papa went all out on a new kiddie pool.

Hot tubbin

Abi got some early birthday presents.

Papa got lots of love

We celebrated Papa's birthday, along with my Sister's, Abi's, Brad's, Uncle Eric's, and Uncle Buford's with a big BBQ. 

Silly face time

While we were having fun Brad was biking from Seattle to Portland in the super hot heat and rain and thunder storms.

Brad and Jeremy happy to be done! 

Whole group

Family finishers

I've been meaning to make this sign forever for Ben's big boy room and finally got it done. It's up in his room I just need to take a picture of it up on his wall. Made out of scrap wood and chalkboard paint that we already had, total cost $0.

Made a cute letter C (out of an old art box frame wrapped in leftover burlap and painted the letter on it) for the baby's room, total cost $0.

4th of July weekend

90 degrees at the lake, perfect. Abi loves Grammy.

Aunt Keri

Gave our old sign to our old neighbor who has lived in this neighborhood since it began. It was special to her. We got fresh cherries and flowers out of the deal.

Liberty Lake fireworks

Waiting patiently for them to start.

It is July and summer has officially begun!

90 degree days, evenings on the boat in Liberty Lake, hours at the pool, weekends at our lake place, no wonder it's my favorite time of year. Summer is good for my beat up heart, makes everything brighter. The heat came out of nowhere and my body just wasn't ready for it, at least I can always swim to cool off and thank goodness for air conditioning. Abi is swimming like a fish, underwater, jumping in, next is the diving board. Ben is finally paddling around with a life jacket which is progress. Had a doctor apt today and the baby is good only 6.5 weeks to go!

Evening tubing/boarding session on Liberty Lake.

Abi and Sonja ready for a tube ride.

Ben wanted to tube too, with Daddy. He had a fit when his turn was over.

Nothing like 80 degrees at 9pm and a beautiful sunset.

These two make everything better.
