4th of July

Our neighborhood had a fun little 4th of July parade and BBQ. It was a great way to get to know the neighbors! Brooke decided to decorate a pram rather than her bike for the parade. When she received a compliment on her festive little buggy she said "But did you see my nails? My mom painted them red!" Now... doesn't that just say it all about her priorities?

A Mini Vacation

The 3 of us went to Ocean Shores for just one night. While it was a short trip, it was so nice to slow down, sleep in and spend hours on the beach flying kites and building a sand castle.

Strawberries

What is summer without picking strawberries? Here we are with Grammy after picking.

A visit to Northwest Trek

Slugfest at Northwest Trek was a must. We had a great time! Thanks Diana, Ryan and Jack.

Today we had a party for Brooke to celebrate her last day of school. We had terrific weather and an especially great time with friends!

The jumping castle...
