Camping!

We decided that this was our 5th camping trip this year!  The girls have been great campers.  We just spent this past weekend up near Mt. St. Helens.  What a remarkable landscape to see and explore.  We went with my sister and her family and my parents.  Great laughter, smiles, and memories!

Love these 2!

4th of July!

We got to participate in a neighborhood parade.  It was so much fun and the girls loved looking at all of the other boys and girls riding and walking in the parade.  Here are some pictures - thanks for the beautifully decorated wagon Grandma Katie and Grandpa Dan!

9 Months!

Such a big, beautiful girl!  She is full of smiles and laughter.  Her laugh is the best!  She is still not on the move, but that is okay with me.  It won't be long.  (I love her eyes in these pictures - bright blue and long eyelashes - so glorious!)

Girls and Vehicles!

These girls are starting to find a love of vehicles and riding in and on them! Kyle must be rubbing off on them.  Hannah loves riding on her little "scoot, scoot".  She only goes backwards, but is the best shifter around.  She is getting really speedy!

Paige got to go on a special trip with Mommy, Daddy, Broc and Becca.  Hannah got to stay behind.  We took Paige up to Browns Camp for her first big wheeling adventure.  She did okay.  I offered her Smarties whenever things got a little tricky or she thought Daddy was getting the Jeep stuck.  We called them, "sweet spots" and got a little sweet treat.  Pretty soon she was routing for "sweet spots" and enjoying the adventure along with Daddy.

Not very good at the "selfie"

Helper!

Paige was our little painting helper.  She wanted to help paint the new garage sheet rock that Daddy and his friend, "Big Matt" hung.  We did not trust her with clothes - so diaper it was!  What a great helper!!!

(PS - the garage looks amazing - nice work Kyle!!!)

8 Months!

Hannah is such a happy, sweet girl.  She loves watching Paige play around.  I love it when they giggle with each other.  Hannah is not in any hurry to move, but loves to sit up and smile at everyone.

Wheeling!

Camping trip number two was to Sandlake.  We took the jeep and camper and spent the weekend wheeling and playing with friends.  This was Hannah's first wheeling trip.  She was amazing!  The backseat kept shouting, "Daddy, we're stuck . . . Daddy don't get stuck!"

Wheeeee!!!!

Sweet Smiles!

I love the hands up and expression - priceless!

So windy!

Waiting for the other jeeps to get "unstuck" -
time for the buckets and shovels to come out!

Love this!

Cheerios in the camper.
