Princess Grace


Just hanging out taking a nap in daddy's big chair!

1st camping of the season

Last weekend, we headed up to Lake Pend Oreille to Farragut State Park to camp with Grandma and Grandpa.  We had our new tent trailer and Grandma and Grandpa had their trailer...so we didn't rough-it too much!  It rained one night and sounded like millions of golf balls were hitting the roof of our trailer.  Only Grace woke up, but we were glad that we weren't in a tent!!

Grandma and Grandpa had bought strawberries along the way that got too warm, so needed to be eaten.  Our kids didn't have a problem with that!!  I think they were gone the 1st hour we were there!


 Grace's 1st camping excursion
 Having fun with head lamps
 Cooking s'mores (good thing we are ready with headlamps:)
 Doing what he does best...EATING!

 Quality Grandma time
 We hiked down to the lake one day.  Caleb passed out in the backpack
 Sweet baby blues


 Family shots
 hmmm, what should I do with this hand full of rocks??
 Throw them into the lake!!
It was a fun weekend.  The kids got to go in the canoe with Grandma and Grandpa too, but I stayed back with Grace so didn't get any pictures.  Then, Grandma and Grandpa took the 3 oldest kids for an extra day and we headed home with Grace.  It was a fun weekend and start to our summer!!!

Sleepy Eater

The other day, Caleb was nodding off while eating lunch.  He had his eyes closed and I went to get the camera.  As soon as he heard the camera "chime" when it turned on, he opened his eyes halfway and said VERY sleepily "cheese"!!  We have him trained!

Lilly Ballerina






The last 3 mornings, Lilly has been in a ballet "princess" class.  She loved dressing up into her pink outfit.  Usually the parents are downstairs because there isn't enough room for everyone, but on the last day, we got to come up at the end to see what they have learned.  They "performed" Cinderella for us and showed us all their ballet moves.  It was fun seeing her concentration (tongue out and all) trying to do everything.  Her favorite is the "curtsy".  Pretty dainty for a girl nicknamed "bruiser"!!!

Happy Birthday, Dad



On Friday, we celebrated Papa's birthday with dinner, cheese cake and a fierce Wii competition.  Although Hayden was the sword fighting champ, I think Papa enjoyed trying to beat Mark and working on his basketball shot!

Puppet show with Polly Pockets



It's easier to put them on your fingers than it is on the doll!!
