Deception Pass

So I think I get some serious points from someone for taking a toddler camping at 28 weeks pregnant! Who's giving out points?? Seriously, I did have a lot of help from all the other mommies and kiddos who made it super fun and enjoyable. If I could have just had a nice glass of wine around the campfire it would have been perfect!!

Independence Day

Just a clip of Emerson hamming it up for anyone's attention on 4th of July. She was running on adrenaline alone....and some kettle corn. We were waiting for the Lynnwood fireworks with turned out to be surprisingly good.

Wow...where did June go??

"Auntie Tanya has big doggies"....as Emerson says it. She came with Elvis & Gracie for a great visit and some awesome weather. Maile loved playing with her friends and Emerson LOVED all the attention.

Shannon's graduation from Oregon State University. She the one waving next to the scary guy with really long dredlocks.

Running up and down the wheelchair ramp was the perfect entertainment during the 3 hour ceremony. Thank goodness for all the family to help us!

Feeding Auntie Jenn a snack during innings at softball! LOVE this picture!!

The Rose Parade--Portland

If you can't beat 'em....help 'em! Is that how it goes??? Not stellar parenting but pretty funny!

Wandering the streets with "TT" waiting for the parade to start.

Amanda's high school graduation...what a reality check for me! She was a month old when I graduated from high school! Holy Cow...how did 18 years go by so fast!!

After getting some serious with love "nagging" from Auntie Jen I am adding more pictures. Guess I didn't realize that an entire month had past since I added any!

Since I last "blogged" we've gone to Portland for 10 days for 2 graduations, "Auntie" Tanya came for a visit, Emerson took an art class, continues with music class and I've grown a good sized baby boy in this belly of mine. So...that's June in a nutshell!

Some pre-bath painting fun....
