huckleberries!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE huckleberries!!!  
I was determined to get some this year since the last couple years have been a bust!  We took the kids up to Ione, WA and picked our little hearts out for a couple hours. The kids did great for the most part....but really, how could you NOT love running around a mountain all day!?? :)

Here's our little picnic lunch



The days' work. We ended up with about 1 gallon of berries this day



This little guy is awesome!  He's such a trooper and just goes with the flow.  I love this face!

look at the awesome views!!








driving :)

This is the little road we were driving along :)  


These are from today. I took the kids up to Baldy mountain and got another gallon. WOO HOO!!!! we have 2 gallons in our freezer now! YEEE HAW!

Awesomeness

Last summer Lane mastered my kayak. He is a natural and picked it up fairly quickly! he's a very coordinated little soul. :)  

**YES we make him wear a life jacket** 
But these pics were right at the beach for picture purposes only :)



 He can even give Lucy a ride....he's an awesome big brother!


it is so fun that we can all go out in the boats as a family now....maybe some day i'll get a picture of THAT! 
yay for kayaking!!

Picnics

We love summer picnics on the porch :)

except when the bees invade....

but this time was safe!

 Watermelon smiles!

 Macy has the ultimate "summer kid" face....Peanut butter and all :)



Lucy is the only one that will pose with me :) so she gets more pictures!  

I love summer! I love having everyone home...i love being able to do nothing, or play, or whatever we want! it is glorious :)   Here's to enjoying the last month of freedom before new fall adventures start!










I Love these girls!! :)

daddy camp!

Our church's "daddy daughter" camp was a couple weekends ago!  The girls were SUPER excited to go to "daddy camp" and could not wait ALLLL day.  

I took this picture before they left...it's all fuzzy because one of the children had it before me and got the lens all gooey and i didn't have time to notice! hah



And THESE are the only two pictures that came back from daddy camp :)  good effort.....

They did have a blast! Me and the boys came up the next morning, and we went on a hike, we went swimming, then we picked some huckleberries! Awesome weekend in the mountains :)

skirts!


These are some of my girl friends from church.  We made these skirts and they turned out SO cute!!!  I made a pattern from another skirt and it actually turned out!!! I was pretty excited. SO we all wore them to church one Sunday to show off our mad skills :)

New best friend!

Lane made a friend the other day.....
