Beach Trip

PACIFIC CITY BEACH PARTY

 We went Portland this last weekend and a bit longer and got in a beach trip while there. I love the beach here is Nora smiling. 

 Brother Seth and Sister Tricia brought their families to the beach as well. It was the prefect weather and a wonderful fun day at the beach.

More Swimming

 We have been doing lots of swimming this summer. In the kiddie Pool of coarse.

 Sam and Claire have been keeping cool in the water.

 We also continued with two more weeks of swimming lessons. With Friends.

4th of July

 We only took a couple picture for the 4th and yes I am just now posting. We took the kids to the Toppenish parade. (Mexican 4th of July). It was fun. We went with some good friend the Andersons and Benny and Kara met up with us at the parade. We did a little BBQ with Ben and Kara in the backyard pretty relaxing and low key.

 We watched fireworks from a K-Mart parking lot along with the rest of Yakima. It was kind of fun.

 So Pretty

This last picture is another weekend we drove out to Dog Lake and took kids fishing. It was fun. Lincoln caught a Rainbow trout that we kept and ate for dinner all the kids thought it was cool that we caught it and ate it. :)

Swimming

 Madee loves swimming

 Sam loves swimming.

 Swim lessons in the summer is always a good idea. They love it and they love going on the water slide.

Dog Turns 4

 Today we throw a party for Dog!

 The kids put up decorations and put on birthday Hats

 Played games with Dog and his friends.

 We even made Dog a little tiny cake. He turned four in cause you were wondering.

 All the kids ate cake with Dog (Like Dog)

Don't forget the birthday present. Sam picked it out himself. Its nice to have birthday party's just because!! We had Fun!

My Birthday

 Happy Birthday too me. It was a little while ago but it's about time to post a picture. Yes there are 33 candles on my cake (I did not have to make the cake.) We were sure the smoke alarm would go off after I blew them out. It did not. I had a great Birthday. It was Madee's last day of school and I helped with her Field day. Playing with parachutes and slip and Slides, Bouncing houses and bubbles. The perfect last day!
We also took a weekend trip to Seattle. Lincoln had work but we got to come and explore it was fun. I do not have pictures they are on Lincoln's phone. We went to a Mariners baseball game and Pike's Market and watch the fish fly. We went to the Gum Wall (super Gross), a wall covered in layers of chewed gum. We went to the Aquarium and swam in the hotel pool of coarse we had a great time.

I also wanted to post a picture of these beauty's soft pretzel's mom taught us how to make. SOoooo Yummy. If you want the recipe ask mom :) We love them!
All in all great birthday and great fun bring on the summer!!
