Lake Chelan, one of my favorite places.  We spent a  few days here in June and had a wonderful time.  The weather wasn't as nice as we hoped for but once again sand, water and a pool are all it takes for the boys to have fun!

Love you guys and love watching you play together and become good little buddies! 

Yay the fair! I cannot tell you how fun it is to watch these five kids get so excited to go on rides and just be together. We have gone to a couple of little county fairs this summer with the cousins and we have a great time.

These two......such little sweat hearts!  Always run to each other and give one another a big hug and kiss. I always catch them hugging every so often. Easton prays for Finley each night and any time I tell him we get to visit them he tells me he's going to give Finley a big hug.

Cohen was much braver than I thought he would be. Oliver and Berkeley are so good about including him and making him feel like one of the big kids!  I could hear them telling Cohen that he didn't have to be scared because they would protect him!

And then there are these two......they've made plans to get married!  And they've decided Easton and Finley are going to get married too!  Thankfully Cohen has a friend Bella that hes saving for Oliver!  It makes me so happy to see these five love each other and grow up together.  I'm so thankful we live close by. My boys adore their cousins and if they had it their way we would see them everyday!

Camping at Lake Easton. What an adventure!  We only stayed one night and I know it sounds like too much work to pack and unpack and set everything up for one night but with a 2 and 4 yr old I think it was just fine!!!! The boys loved every minute.  They loved playing in the tent, they loved running through the trees at the camp site, they loved the lake, and they really loved peeing outside!  What boy doesn't!!!

The weather was beautiful and the scenery was too.  Spent all day here and it was wonderful!

This was taken 5 minutes into the drive back home! Two tired boys and two parents who enjoyed a nice quiet ride!!!!

Back in May we spent four days in Canon Beach and Seaside.  Chris and I both prefer Cannon Beach but the boys discovered the arcade and carousel in Seaside so that was their favorite spot!  Ice cream cones that melted before they could even finish them were also a big hit!  They loved digging in the sand and our hotel had a pool so that was a highlight too!  So thankful to take little vacations and make memories with my little guys.

Mrs. Umashankar, Cohen and Mrs. Papen, hands down the best preschool teachers we could have asked for! I was so nervous last fall when he started his first year of preschool. Cohen was the boy who wouldn't even last 5 minutes in Sunday school and I wasn't sure how he would make two and a half hours but he did and he loved every minute of it! It has been one of my favorite parts of watching him grow up.  I loved taking and picking him up every day and watching him run out with a new art project to put on our wall.  I loved hearing all the little songs they learned and watching him write his name and say the pledge of allegiance. I loved listening to him talk about all his little friends and how sometimes he would get hurt feelings if a certain friend didn't want to play with him. Thank you Mrs. Umashankar and Mrs. Papen for investing in my boy, you made this an amazing year for him and us!
