Too many rides = Jeremy hurls

Well it's finally happened. After years of me getting motion sick and loosing my cookies here, there, and everywhere, Jeremy is finally the one who looses it on a ride. I wasn't there to see it (that's actually good) but he told me all about it when he got home because he knew I'd be delighted that he was finally the one to get sick. And I totally was!!! The guy has only barfed liked 2 times that I know of- he seriously just does not hardly ever have it happen- LUCKY!

Paintings and Pets

The kids made art to enter in to the fair once again this year. Though Grant informed me that he's going to build a fantastic lego creation for next year's entry. And Madison thinks it might be fun to enter a creative cupcake design of some sort next year.

Rocket to the Moon

Jeremy gets a hankering to shoot off rockets every now and then with the kids. This time we went with the Erickson's so Jordan could experience the fun too. The kids love trying to catch the rockets when they're coming down almost as much as blasting them off. They also like the assembly process. I don't like to put together anything, but Jeremy gets a gleam in his eye when it comes to assembling things- anthing. The man has a sickness. I like taking pictures- especially crazy ones.

Peering at the Pier

My sister and her family are visiting from Idaho and it was such a nice day we decided to spend some of it at the park/pier. My boys look for discoveries in the water every time we venture out onto the pier.

A Bashful Wolf

Here's Carter earning his wolf badge for cub scouts. For those of you unfamiliar with scouts it takes some effort over the course of the year to earn this badge. Congratulations Carter!!!

33 and busy as a bee

So busy that I neglected to get another 3 for my boston cream pie...

Fun, slightly soggy, CAMPING

We went on a camping trip near the Olympic Mountains with our friends the Christensens and got slightly rained upon, but had a really fun time overall. We biked part of the Discovery Trail and our kids loved that (minus the rain). It was the first time we've gone camping with bikes.

Mom and Boys camp WITHOUT Dad!

So Madison was at girls camp, and Jeremy was out of town... so I decided to take the boys camping with mom. Why should everyone else have all the fun? I only lit one thing on fire acidentally (some bacon cooking in paper bags)and I put it out really quick. I only barely singed the arm of a jacket I was wearing. The boys enjoyed themselves and said they liked making the smores and listening to spooky stories. I should have skipped the story involving the bear because it took me a lot longer to go to sleep with no Jeremy in the tent to protect me from my imagination.
