The Dog Days of Summer

Posted on October 1, 2013 by Lindsey

Here are some of our pics from the end of summer. There were pool days, picnics, birthday parties, shopping outings, trips to the park(s), science projects, home projects, and newborn babies to meet.

At Brooklyn’s 4th birthday party

Assembling garden beds together!

Summer = picnics in the back yard

Science project! Avery received this set from Nana and Grandpa for his birthday. Here’s Avery with his chrysali.

Another science project: making bouncy balls!

What a team these boys make!

At the end of August, we drove to Pullman to visit my brother and his family. We had a great time, and the kids had a blast playing together! We visited the University of Idaho Arboretum, the Moscow farmer’s market, and a nearby park. We enjoyed delicious homemade pizza and huckleberry pancakes. All in all, a great trip!

Excelsior Camping Trip

Posted on September 11, 2013 by Lindsey

In August, Jonathan and the boys (well, two of them anyway) went camping with a few (about fifty) friends from Bellingham. My boys love the outdoors, and they had a terrific time, no surprise there! Meanwhile Silas and I enjoyed the relative peace at home. I even had time to begin a massive kitchen cabinet project. Pictures to come once it’s complete.

Here’s Silas trying to sneak away with them. I don’t know why Jonathan didn’t want to take him too. 😉

On the way home, Jonathan swung by WWU with the boys. He took them to red square.

The Rest of July

Posted on September 10, 2013 by Lindsey

A few more pics from July:

One of our first outdoor projects at the new house was installing pavers in the back yard next to the patio. Sand kept making it’s way inside, so we wanted a place for the sandbox to live that wasn’t on the patio We were working on this together after the boys went to bed one evening, and remarking about how much fun Avery would have doing this. Then a few minutes later, he came down saying he couldn’t sleep. He thought it was so cool that we invited him out to help!

Play date with Hayden. These boys love Legos!

Adorable sleeping baby photo.

Nicole’s Visit

Posted on September 5, 2013 by Lindsey

Our favorite niece, Nicole, spent a few weeks with Grammy and Papa over the summer. She flew back from Texas with us and stayed a week before returning home. We had such a fun time! She is such a sweetheart, and we loved having her at our house. I didn’t want to let her go!

Nicole, Silas, and I went blueberry picking one morning while Avery and Kieron were at camp.

What happens when a girly-girl with three little boys has her niece over to visit? She breaks out the Barbies, the nail polish, and the old dance costumes, of course!
