Lauren has always been the entertainer of the family but it looks

like Connor is giving her a run for her money.

She did great and ran in and found her cubby and started playing right away, its the same school she was at last year, but she goes everyday now. 

 

As of today (this morning) - she wants to be an artist when she grows up

and her favorite things are: Unicorns, zebras, barbies, disney princesses and fish?...

Jamie just picked her up and she said she needed to go sit on the couch because she had a long day and her feet hurt. fyi her preschool is only 9-11:30. 

Our last month of summer

 Here are some pictures summarizing our last month of summer!

Great Grandma & Great Grandpa came to visit - The kids are already planning our trip down to visit them - they miss them so much, and they let us know pretty much every day.

JULY FUN & CAMPING VACATION

When we went on vacation I got my camera ready and found some old pictures I thought I should share with everyone:

Lauren at her last gymnastics class before the summer break

 Laurens Preschool graduation

 Lauren, Cameron, Jacob & Connor on the 4th of July waiting for the fireworks

Last week we headed over to Pasco to do some camping and visit the sun!

The kids had a blast it was around 97 everyday! 

 

 Connor Loves smores! or really anything with sugar in it!

What a tough life watching movies around the campfire

 There were tiny fish throughout the water they were trying to catch for hours 

in cups and no one caught any.  =(         -    But it kept them busy =)

 Connor loved throwing rocks in the water. 

 The Watson Cousins at the restaurant Cousins

 It was a short but fun first camping trip for the kids,

now we know that next year theyll be ready for a much longer trip!

Golfing & June Fun!!!

Lauren had her last day of preschool for the year on my birthday so we went out to lunch and took a ride on the carousel! She did so great this year that they invited her to the advanced class for next year so she'll be going to school everyday next year (3 hours a day).   That should prep her for kindergarten pretty well.  

 This past weekend we did some putt putt golfing.  

Connor has been fixated on golfing so we finally took him, he needs to do some work on his swing as of right now he looks like a hockey player, and he cheats A LOT!  He wouldn't let me take his picture, but here is Lauren on a turtle and right after her first HOLE IN ONE!!!!!!

As you can see they had a ton of fun on this one 

Early June 2012

 Found some more pictures from the past few weeks I thought I'd share with everyone. 

A few weeks ago we took our first fishing trip of the year - Our boat isnt ready for the water yet so 

Bumpa Jim was nice enough to take us out for a quick trip. We were only out for about an hour and 

Lauren caught the only fish! It was her first fish she ever caught by herself and it was even on her 

Barbie Fishing Pole!She was so proud of herself as you can see in the picture, except she said the 

fish was to icky to hold so daddy had to help.  

 

 More pictures from our backyard/practice camping trip - Connor loves his marshmallows!

 

 And Lauren loves roasting them, actually just catching them on fire. 

 Lauren is back at Auburn Gymnastics and is having a blast! 

She finally decided she likes gymnastics over ballet, 

hopefully that's a tiny step towards her liking soccer.

We can only hope.....

Memorial Weekend 2012

Memorial Weekend!

We stayed close to home but did lots of fun stuff!

Had the first fire of the year and roasted marshmallows. 

Camped in the backyard - Lauren called it practice camping

 Sunday we went up to Tahoma and then to the train museum in Snoqualmie

And once again like I do during almost every family outing I tried to get one picture 

of both the kids looking at the camera and smiling - why do I even try?...

Attempt #1 - both smiling - not sure what Lauren's looking at

 Attempt # 2: and now Connor is day dreaming

 Connor wouldn't even get in these pictures - but Lauren was loving the attention and pretending to get run over by trains - she actually wanted to lay down on the tracks in front of them and have 

Connor come save her.  She watches way to many Disney movies.  

 Attempt #3 - what is Lauren looking at now?          Attempt #4 - They were dancing ?........

 Attempt #5 - FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!! Connor I'll take that as a smile

 And the kids with Joe by the river
