Our adventures in August....
Alexis always kicks off her socks when she is sleeping. This is the pile we found under her bed :)
Took the kids to ride their bikes at the pump park.
We had an ice maker when we were in Vegas and Allen has always wanted another one. His dream has come true.
LEGO Barn Allen made the kids
Look at all the details. He did not follow any directions to make this
Anyone need a stuffy?
Enjoying the fire and roasting hot dogs. A bit hot
Alexis is super into Harry Potter. She put up some decals in her room.
Can't pass up a picture of a sleeping child:) She added the notes
Playing at Wildcat Lake
My mom and Alexis
Cole and I having fun
Ahh yes
Blueberry Park summer events are the best. Especially with friends. Harper was able to join us for our last adventure
Picking potatoes
Making their own hanging bee
Cole hated the swings when he was younger--but now he loves them
Swim lessons
The kids decided to make kindness notes and put them around the house
We surprised the kids and took them to Brick Fest (a LEGO convention). My friend made these shirts for them.
We ran into Alexis's BFF Harper at the event-so fun.
We were able to make a square to go into the floor mosaic
We are the bottom squares...so fun
Amazing what people can build with LEGO's
Don't think about the germs...just don't :)
Glow in the dark LEGO's were so cool
Had to get a stuffed Hermine doll from Harry Potter
As VIP's we were able to build our own action figure.
After the convention we went camping in Ellensburg. Our RV spot was on the Columbia River
I could just float all day
After the river the kids ran in the sprinklers
This looks fun...nothing bad could happen
At least there were smiles
Orca's swimming in our back water view
Allen had to go to Bellevue for a meeting so we got a hotel room and joined him.
I was able to work remote in the mornings and then play in the pool after
Danielle was able to visit us
We stopped in Kingston at our favorite restaurant on the way home
The kids have been asking for a lemonade stand for two years. Finally we had one. Making the juice.
They set everything up
All of our neighbors stopped by to purchase a cup or two. The kids were so excited that we sold out. Such amazing neighbors
Allen working on improving our view. He cut down a ton of trees.
Having fun at Nana's. Decorating old shirts
Another view of our path to the beach. Allen is really working hard to improve our view
Cleaning out our shoe closet. Our cats are so nosey.
Allen was finally able to finish our lower level. This closet was missing a door for almost three years. Looks so nice.
My mom got this for Cole. We hung it up in the game room next to the tv where they play Super Mario Brothers.
Sometimes he just looks so cute
Visiting Mom at work
Getting our reward for reading this summer
We met my mom at a local park and ran into some friends
Playing dress up
Fun with kinetic sand
Tie-dye
Hide and Seek with our neighbor's grandson
Kayaking with neighbors
Blackberry Picking
Cole likes watching a You Tube Video and then trying out what he watches in Minecraft. Love watching him figure it out.
Ice Cream at the Park with friends
Alexis is selling her clothes at JBF--the sale I usually sell our clothes and toys. I told her she needed to do all the work and she could get the money. So she is entering her tags on the computer.
Back to School Night...Cole's classroom
