Summer Lovin' Had Me A Blast

Well it's been a fun-filled and busy summer so far, obviously leaving little time to blog.... so lets just get down to it.

One of the most exciting events to happen this summer was Juice and Robin Lindsey having their baby boy Johnathan Hawthorne Lindsey (goes by Jack) born June 1st. Thanks to them for giving the girls their first cousin, and more props for having a boy, things were getting a tad TOO pink. This little boy rocks, he is almost 3 months old, sleeps through the night and smiling like it's his job, aaaaadorable, nice work guys!

A couple weeks later on the 18th of June Reagan celebrated the big one....



where she proceeded to eat mass amounts of cupcake.....

and then pass out - cupcake still in hand.

hen Uncle Jake came to visit us and was kind enough to help Daddy put together this amazing play structure for the girls (it only took about 25 hours to assemble - gooo!). It's got all the bells and whistles, including a mini-bar with its own green awning, awesome. This has led to endless hours of outdoor entertainment for all, thanks Jewsey!

At the beginning of July Collin's twin brother Ian got married in Portland. Kiwi was so excited to be a flower girl. She wore a cute yellow dress that she referred to as her "Bell" dress, and then refused to take off for the next 8 days....but that's beside the point. She had a great time at the wedding where she was entertained by her big "cousin" Madison whom she just adores. Here they are on the dance floor, they kind of look-a-like don't they?

Reagan also enjoyed herself, where she boogied on down with her "Fun Uncle Ryan".

Of course we couldn't let the summer go by without hitting up the Jackson County Fair. Kiwi surprisingly loved the kiddie rides, loved the fair fried food even more though. She even sat still long enough to have her little face painted. CoCo thought she looked pretty darn cute!

The girls got to spend some time up at the cabin this summer. They really enjoyed the simple pleasure of throwing rocks in the lake....never gets old. Also enjoyed running into the water, with absolutely no regard for drowning....gets VERY old.

Then we topped it all off with a little watermelon.

The rest of July was filled with running in sprinklers, drawing with chalk, and sharing fudgecicles with our new BFF, Blaine. Blaine is my friend Anne's delightful son. Anne and I have been friends for over 25 years, therefore we are determined that our children will be friends too, whether they like it or not.

Been a great summer so far, August coming soon.

(Alright..not so soon knowing me)
