Luke's 3rd Birthday

The morning of Luke's birthday he was so excited! He knew it was his day and was adorable with all of the things that were coming out of his mouth "It's OK Maren, it will be your birtday yoon." Happy Birthday Buddy.

He was so excited for his birthday this year!

Underwear Party

Last month Luke surprised us all by saying goodbye to his pull ups almost overnight! We were so proud (and yes surprised!) that it was so easy. Here he is with good bye underwear party and some proud pics of the boy using his new skill.

Camping Weekend

We had a really great time at Clear lake in July. The kids had so much fun playing in the water! Unfortunately I forgot Maren's swimsuit so she wore her new "swim dress" and even though I remembered Luke's he didn't want to wear it half the time;)

4th of July Neighborhood Bike Parade

I would say about 50 kids turned out this year! Maren was so excited to deck out her bike and join in the fun!! She rode around the whole neighborhood all by herself just with the kids. It was a little scary since she had only taken her training wheels off a week before, but when she came around the corner at the end of the route with a HUGE grin we were all very relieved.

Vegas

Brian and I spent a glorious four days in Las Vegas last week. We logged about 10 hours at the pool (it was so hot we rarely got out) and had a great time together enjoying each other and all that Vegas has to offer! Sorry, no pictures! You know what they say....

Joe's Birthday

Thanks so much to Mark and Kelly for hosting all 7 1/2 of us in Central Oregon last weekend! We had so much fun and we are already looking forward to when we can do it again! Happy Birthday Joe!
