Summer

We've had a wonderful summer so far. It has been very busy and so fun. We went up to Orcas the week of the 4th and enjoyed 5 nights with my Mom and Dad. Drew came up Friday and we celebrated his 34th b-day on the 4th. We had a ball the the weather was perfect! I took Lachlan and Cohen hiking one morning while Mom watched McKenon which was really fun too. I took a ton of pictures but will just post a few.

We got home from Orcas on Sunday night and I left for Lake Chelan on Monday afternoon. Drew's Mom & stepdad have a timeshare there and they were not using it so they asked if we wanted to! Of course, a free 3 bedroom condo for a week? I jumped at the chance to take the boys. I invited my sis along with her kids and off we went. We had a blast. Friday morning Kevin picked us up in their boat and we headed 40 miles up lake to a campground where they were camping all week. My cousin Monty, his wife Jennifer and their two kids were there, my Uncle Doug and his 3 kids were there and Julianne, Kevin and Brielle. It was a gorgeous spot and brought back a lot of mememories from my childhood. We are hoping to go up lake with Julianne and Kevin next summer and stay a little longer (if they will have us!). We tubed, Drew wakeboarded and a wonderful day was had!

Mack turned 18 months a week ago. So hard to believe! He is 25 lbs and 33 inches about the same as the other boys. He's a busy boy but listens most of the time. He sleeps well and loves to go to bed. He stopped nursing last week which seems like a good age. He's just doing great and is almost always fun to be around. He's just learned to really throw rocks and loves it. He talks a lot but sometimes is hard to understand! He loves animals too but hates insects!

Now that we are home for a week or so I am trying the catch up. The garden has grown a ton, and we are having a complete garden meal tonight! The boys love it and were so excited to get home and eat peas, raspberries etc.

Hope everyone is having a great summer!
