BABY!!!

Ok ok ok...it's a baby boy!  YAAY!  We weren't going to find out, but Scott couldn't handle it, and wanted to find out at the last minute.  So I lost all resolve as well! :)  Oh well.....we were surprised once...that's good enough right?? At least now, I can take all the pink out of the nursery with confidence instead of just wishful thinking.  This is me at about 20 weeks....i'm already double that size (i'm not kidding :))  and about 28 weeks or so....  Baby is due November 16! Can't wait to meet him!

Summer Pics

Our sweet neighbor/Grandma bought the kids some cute little outfits just for fun, so we decided to take some pictures to model them!

 silly faces!

Macy had skittles in her mouth....those aren't crazy teeth :)

 Finally, everyone is kind of smiling :)

These kiddos are so stinkin CUTE!!   I just need to look at this picture the next time they are fighting and tormenting each other! :)

Father's Day!

And then there was Father's day!  Which was so long ago that I don't remember what happened, except I know that breakfast in bed, and church were involved :)

Daddy and Lucy Loo

Daddy and his girls!  macy opted out of her own picture with daddy

Lane and Daddy 

Silly faces for all!

Scott is the best daddy ever and we all love him SO MUCH!!!!

Graduation

Well I am finally getting around to updating from the beginning of summer! Back in June, Lane had his pre-school graduation!  I had a hard enough time not tearing up during this event! I'm going to be a wreck when he starts kindergarten in 2 weeks :)

He was not thrilled of the idea of picture taking :)

After graduation, they had some games and crafts for the kids.....lane was a BIG fan of the parachute.  Macy was too, but she wasn't sure where to jump in. That's her wandering around the circle on the right.

Lane and Miss Roxanne.  She was such a fun teacher, and so sweet!  She would always tell me what a great kid Lane is....even when they had some "rough" days :)  She's definitely one of our fav teachers!

Lane and his diploma, and his "cowboy Lane"

goofy :)  

Well preschool is over, and now it's off to kindergarten!  I'm not sure if mama is ready but I think Lane is somewhat excited to do something new!  Wish us luck!

Radar Dome

One day on our camping adventure, Scott took us all up to "radar dome."  On the way, we saw a little black bear.  He was right off the side of the road, and didn't seem to mind us staring at him.  I don't know what it is this year, but I have already seen more bear this spring alone than the whole time i've lived in WA!  Craziness!

Here's one of the views from up at the top of radar dome. SO pretty!

The kids "posing" for a lovely scenic picture!  Yeah right!!

Ok, back to the views...

Muscle man, Lane

Ally and Macy Cheezin'

Lane's into his superhero posing these days....:)  

Here's "bear."  He made the trip with us..

Macy and bear.  BFF's

Lucy and her rock.  This girl LOVES ROCKS!   She is always finding cool rocks and collecting them, on our walks, in our yard, in town.  It doesn't matter where we are, she will find a rock.

Someday, my kids will like to take pictures with their mother... :)

At least my husband will take pictures with me!! :) Can you guess how old my shirt is??  Random fact:   about 14 years old!!! It was my freshman year at BYU dorm shirt.  Awesome :)


So i didn't actually take any pictures of "radar dome"  Because, really, it is pretty creepy and has WAY too much profanity graffiti to post :)  What is it?? I'm not sure, but i was describe it as a bunch of old ruins from some freaky military camp where they talked to and harbored the Aliens they have found.  There were several buildings which have been half destroyed so you can't tell what they were really for.  They look like old concentration camp buildings to me.  And weird channel-ways, and an old dome (probably where they had their super telescopes)  I don't know.  The place was weird.  You could walk through all the old building skeletons and imagine what they were used for.  Weird.  I've thought about google-ing it and seeing what strange things happened there....but i guess that will be for another decade when we don't have dial-up internet anymore :)

Anyways, it was a fun little day-trip, with lots of pretty scenery! 

More camping

Here are just some random scenes around camp...

Could these girls be any cuter!?!? Oh my goodness. Katie and her big sister, Ally were SO fun with our girls....Lucy and Macy LOVED all the attention from these "cool older chics"

Lane hangin by the fire.....The ground was just more comfortable than the chairs.  I get that. :) Me and Lane sat on the ground alot....too bad he sat too close the fire and melted his shoe! :(

Good Morning!

mmmmmmm S'mores

Macy was on a s'more induced coma apparently :)

I LOVE LOVE this picture.....:)  The general public doesn't get to see this "scott smile" very much....so here it is ...documented for posterity :)  Even though our posterity gets to see it a lot!!

yikes.  A few days in the woods and scott's ear hair just gets OUT of control!!!

Not to mention, my mustache

Macy deliriously tired and ready for a nap on the way back to camp from  fishing...

Oh the joys of hammocks.  Don't you just want to jump in there with them!?? 

Fish!

Lane was SO EXCITED to finally go fishing!  And he caught his first little fish! He was so proud, and carried it around (well chasing the little girls with it) for about a half an hour!

Lane with his first fish

it's a keeper!

Daddy showing him how to clean it

Lane got to help take out the guts

I love this picture! Lane was so amazed that he could make the fish "talk" and chased people around with this fish on his finger for what seemed like hours!! :)

Katie and macy waiting to leave

Lane got to cook his fish over the fire for lunch!

Yum!  He actually ate it!  I was pretty impressed.
