Flag Football

hmm...guess I should have taken more pictures. Parx played flag football and LOVED getting those flags. By the end of the season he had fun being the quarterback and a receiver/running back now and again too (he really only wanted to get flags at the beginning). He didn't even really care about losing every game but one :).  He says that once its tackle he is quitting. what a weirdo! But I LOVE MY WEIRDO! We had a blast watching him and he did REALLY good.

Chewelah...say what?!?!

Our 1st hubby/wifey vacation with NO KIDS!  1st trip ever...that's right to CHEWELAH, WA. Its up by Spokane...we took our trailer to an RV park on a sweeeeeet golf course and actually got to enjoy a couple movies and sleeping in! We pulled in to deer in the campground and woke up to wild turkeys. 

1st night: watched a movie. ok started a movie (we rolled in at 11:30pm) and fell asleep!

 

2nd day: woke up late...ate breakfast in the trailer, played 9 holes and headed to Spokane.  We did WAY too much shopping but had a blast eating out and shopping for each other (of course we shopped for the kids and brought them back surprises...we didn't totally forget they exist). We did the river walk also and just HAD SO MUCH FUN HOLDING HANDS! I didn't think hands free trips were possible anymore. diaper bag. baby. pushing stroller.......

 

3rd day: Ate breakfast at the clubhouse and 18 holes of golf (tried for 27 but after 18 it got pretty nasty). We took a nap and when we woke up it looked like it was clearing up so we went for a walk and played pine cone games...oh yes we did because what's more fun than that??  Tied 9-9 and it started pouring on us and we still had a pretty long run to the trailer! Then we went for a drive and checked out some camp sites... watched movies and went to bed.

 

4th day: Headed HOME! We missed the munchkins but had fun being alone for once!

 

A HUGE THANKS TO GRANDMA VICKIE AND PAPA SID FOR DRIVING ALL THE WAY TO MOSES LAKE AND HOLDING DOWN THE FORT! They even got adventurous enough to take the kids to the dinosaur exhibit in tri-cities (where max had to be held the entire time because he was so scared). They got Parx to his football game on time... they are just the best! WE LOVE YOU!

 

 

River walk...

after the rain....

Bridger's 1st field trip...

This boy. He kills me. Preschool is the coooooooolest place on earth to him.  This field trip was probably the highlight of his life. We went to the pumpkin patch...did a corn maze.. petting zoo...corn pit. It was super fun. His preschool of 9 boys is funny too... poor Mrs. Brie.

 

Baby DAX

 Isn't my new nephew sooo cute?!?! I made it when he was about 2 days old since she was 10 DAYS LATE! She sat in the hospital for 3-4 days before anything even started happening... holy moly. I left the boys and headed to Boise for the weekend. It was so fun to snuggle a kid that I didn't have to take to bed with me :). I even got to go golfing with dad Saturday night. It was a GOOD trip!

Why do I always take such great pictures? I mean an entire weekend and the only pic I took with him was after crazy winds on the golf course. oh well. ATLEAST HE'S CUTE!

 

Poor Max

Poor kid faked a broken leg...thanks dude... $500 later. You were once the favorite.

 

He slipped on a cookie sheet...didn't fall or anything.  I took him in since he wasn't walking or putting any pressure on it and cried anytime it touched anything.  They did x-rays...said most likely it was a toddler fracture that wouldn't show up on x-rays right away. 10 days later it still didn't show up on x-rays :). about 8 days later he started walking again....and all seems to be well. Fun little adventure. NOT. The cast was cute.

 Oh boy did his toes stink. No bath for 10 days...GROSS.

 



SICKLER VISIT!!! and SILVERWOOD....

The first week of August we had a PARTAYY with Jess, Ken and the kiddos.  The kids had so much fun with their aunt, uncle and cousins...we never get enough time with them. It was a fun filled busy week. 

 

The boys started the trip with a golf tourney...

 

 

Spent some time on our home town lake... and 2 days at our waterpark.

 

 

sleepovers are mighty fun.

 

We day tripped to Leavenworth to see the cute little town everyone talks about.  It was a pretty cool place... one place that would be cooler without kids :). They didn't think shopping was that fun.

 

 

morning snuggles with my main squeeze..

 

We even got out to golf one night while Hailee babysat!! Ohhhh heck yes for having a cousin old enough to babysit.

And i'm sure the HIGHLIGHT OF THE TRIP WAS...........SILVERWOOD!!!!!!!!!!!

Parx got a free ticket for reading 600 minutes from school so we felt like we should finally make the trip.

 

On our way....and silverwood definitely didn't let us down!! We had a blast.  Best part was taking parx and bridge on the scariest roller coaster of all times...it hurt every part of my body it was so old and rickety and on top of that it was never ending.  Bridger was terrified.  Parx was in shock.  We were trying to figure out why that height limit was so low when other WAY less traumatic rides were not.  Good thing the fear was short lived and we were off to the next ride within minutes. 

 

 

 

We headed over to the waterpark a little too late...it was FREEZING. How come kids don't care? Actually, after awhile Max and Bridger cared.

 

 

 

I think we all felt like Max at the end of the week....totally tuckered out!

 IT WAS SOOOO WORTH IT.
