Happy Halloween Everyone!

 

 

 

BYE BYE SUMMER 2012

Summer is pretty much over - but we still have some sun up here so we ventured out and had some fun last week.We went with the Watsons back up to Mt Rainier, I had been working with the Parks Service to get a memorial put up there but it wont be until next May so we decided to take advantage of the weather and go up and pick up our sleds and movies we left behind back on January 1st. 

Thank goodness the kids dont really remember everything that happened

so they had fun hiking around with their cousins, I think it helped get us a little closure but I dont think well be back again anytime soon. 

 Jake, Connor, Cameron & Lauren

Lauren & Connor in front of an old log - Connor wanted his picture by himself?...

Connor, Jamie & Lauren @ Narada Falls - Mt Rainier 

This wednesday I took the day of to take Lauren to a field trip @ Fort Nisqually in Tacoma

She said she learned a lot and she really liked all the old stuff

 Connor just tried to distract everyone as much as possible and once he accomplished

that he then picked all the dandelions he could find, I also learned it is not possible for him to whisper! After that display they may not be accepting him into preschool next year. 

 

 

Connors Rapping/Singing Skilz

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!!!!!!
