Lake house July 2015

This was MONTHS ago. July actually. Better late than never! I honestly couldn't believe I never blogged about my FAVORITE vacation of all times...my guess is because I had to upload like 90 blasted pictures.

 

1st weekend was spent with lots of cousins and going to the Big Fork Players of, "Annie." Just like the good ol' days! We went to a show every year growing up and they are always amazing.  Dad and Ty hung out at the lake house with the kids so I could go have some fun with lots of family I never get to see anymore.  The younger of the bunch went to sushi... aunts and grandparents weren't up to it. crazy people.

The whole Big Fork crew

 

We spent the rest of the vacation pretty much at the greatest place on earth... my kids LOVE this place. They love it almost as much as me I think.  I really have been sooo blessed by grandparents on both sides with awesome places to go visit and enjoy. I'm so glad my kids have been able to share in those memories. Every year I'm scared it's our last.

 

 

 

this kid at this stage of life was pure crazy...but he's dang cute

 

One afternoon we snuck out to golf..

Max and Taysom...only a couple weeks apart in age

We had some serious fun.

Back to school....

School for both older boys this year! Parx is a big 1st grader at Garden Heights Elementary in Mrs. Redal's class and Bridger is going to preschool at Mrs. Brie's twice a week.

Parx LOVES school... Bridger LOVES school. This mama is soo grateful for that....

Frist day of school pics for these EXTREMELY EXCITED kids.

 

 

this kid looks GOOOOOD in the mornings...

 

 

MAX 18 months

Some randoms of my 1.5 year old!! He's a crazy one... a little fireball.

I'm soooo grateful this boy is mine.

He is a climbing fool and he's always on the go.

He loves throwing things, hitting his brothers with HARD toys, catching bugs, blowing kisses, giving high fives and pounds, giving kisses and hugs, and seriously everyone needs to see this kid throw a ball... its insane! And he can catch!

He now is saying more and more words... mama.. dad...papa...hot...wow....bear bear...night night...bye...ball...what's that... where's dad....dog.. and then he randomly repeats things we say. It's so fun! He's getting friendly with people and much better with babysitters FINALLY...LOVE YOU BABY BOY!

He fell straight on his head onto concrete from 4 steps up...

and the next day I turn around and he's like this...seriously kid no wonder!

 

he LOVES baseball... check out this stance. Does it get any cuter?? Pretty legit...tongue out and all.

 

GRRR child... 3 places in my house were covered with black crayon in the matter of minutes!

 

 Poor bear bear... max does this ALL the time. She might be the best dog ever.

Bridger is 4 big ones!

This KID... ooohhh my he's cute!!! He's hilarious...cuddly....playful...spunky...adventurous (most of the time)...a water baby...LOVES the outdoors and playing games.

 

We went camping in Chelan the Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday over his birthday with the Redford's and Cranston's.  His birthday was on Friday and we woke up and went to an awesome waterpark for the day... we went back to camp after and had dinner.. cake and ice cream and opened presents. IT WAS SO FUN.   He had a blast.  The rest of the weekend was spent swimming in Lake Chelan and exploring. We jumped in the Columbia River on our way home and we have never EVER EVER felt colder water!

June lake house with mama

Fun little trip to the Lake with my MAMA back in June to kick off summer vacation! Always a party at the lake house... on the way there we saw a BEAR... it was SOOO cool! My kiddos love their cousins and they have a blast when they come hang out. My Uncle Kevin even found time to take my boys fishing.
