Our fun trip over memorial Weekend!

We went over to the good ole ML for Memorial weekend with the fam and had good times despite our Car "issues". We were victims of crappy gas at the good ole station so now our car is in the shop! Oh the joys! We did some boating, some BBQ'ng and some fun sing-alongs outside as Nick and Casey jammed out on their guitars, it was good times! I love watching my husband's eyes get lit up and so filled with joy when he plays and is surrounded my music, it is so sweet!

On our way up there, we stopped at Maryhill at the Stonehedge and paid our respoects to the memorial there and the kids had a blast running around and going on adventures! Onour way back, we stopped at Skamania and went to this museum that had lots of old historical trucks and trains and such outside and the kids again loved the adventure and the story telling along with it. Thought we would share our trip and some pics. Love you all!

Tianna lst her first tooth!

Finally Im getting this update on here, She actually lost her first tooth last week and is so proud!!! She yelled "mommy!!!!! Looooooooook" and ofcourse I freaked out seeing her mouth a tad on the bloody side not knowing yet what had happened! So I run over scoop her up and run her into the bathroom and she says "Geesh mommy I only lost my tooth!" I stopped and stared at her little bloody mouth and laughed, here she has lost her first tooth, something that is completely new to her and she is as calm as a cucumber about the whole deal. You haveto love the bravery of a child! HA! She wanted me to instantly put her tiny little tooth in a plastic bag and hide it under neath her pillow for when the tooth fairy brings her something special in her sleep! She tried to stay awake to catch this tooth fairy flying into her room and give her this bag of change she happend to keep on her. Well when the tooth fairy (me) went into her room to make sure her little eyes were closed, She slipped a whole buck under there and she didnt even flinch! she had follan asleep ofcourse and couldnt wait that long I guess =) She woke up the next morning very early and came screaming into our room (again another heart attack for the parents) "mom looooook I got a dollar from the tooth fairy!!!" and ofcourse then she said "I felt her lift my pillow, it was amazing!!!" LOL So there ya go, a little story for ya and some pictures to share!

Is Summer really here? or is this a trick?

Gotta love this beautiful HOT weather! the second it turns the least bit warm and the sun comes out, Chase and Tianna say "MOM its pool time!!" so dad is out there pumping up the pool and getting all the water toys out and ofcourse getting wet as he does this. But isnt that what its all about? lol We swear Tianna should be a fish, because she LIVES in the Water when theres weather like this. Literally 24 7 the WHOLE summer! Now that Chase is getting bigger, its his turn and hes getting pretty useto it. Tianna puts him in his Hippo boat and they take turns racing eachother to the other end of the pool, and the splash and dive and welll..... lets just say we should just sleep outside because thats where we live right now. =) Some words of wisdom for this great weather fun.... 1) SUN BLOCK and more sunblock. 2) Water bottle galore 3) great sturdy sandles for their little footises because they will slip and slide if you dont and trip and fall more often for sure!


Daddy got us "HOT" chocolate from starbucks so we can have morning coffee with mommy and daddy out on the deck. And I think I did pretty good getting it all in!

Daddy is my hero! He pumped up our pool!
