GO COUGS!!

That’s right, it’s Cougar Football Season again! For the first home game we lucked out and Ryan’s Uncle Mark gave us his tickets for his luxury suite! We certainly got to watch the game in style!!

The view was amazing, and on such a hot day so was the AC!

We didn’t have enough tickets for Laney so she got to sit with Grammie and Grandpa (which she loved) and little man came with us. I was so proud of my little Coug- he had a great time cheering and watching the game! According to Grammie, my other little Coug also was a model fan, watching the game and asking football questions (we’re raising them right!)

Yes!  TOUCHDOWN!

It was so much fun- AND the Cougs won!

Priest Lake 2012- Week 2

This was our second year at Priest Lake with our friends from dental school. We had a wonderful time again, my kids loved having friends to play with (so did Ryan and I)!

I’m always impressed that everyone makes the drive and effort to get there- Ryan and Lindsey even flew in from Alaska! It was the year of the babies, with little Harper and Lindsey and I both expecting.

Delaney and Hallie also found a frog and kept him as a pet. I think they “loved” on him a little too much because he didn’t survive the attention. When they discovered that he wasn’t moving- they tried to perform CPR using an air pump. Let’s just say that didn’t revive poor little kermit.

… so we had a little funeral ceremony!

Priest Lake 2012- Week 1

DSC02924

We were lucky enough to spend two weeks at the lake again this year! We had wonderful weather again- and the kids had a blast. It was the first year that Andrew and Jessica couldn’t make it- and we missed them tons! (You guys better be there next year!!)

 

The first week the kids and I went up to Hills and spent the week with my mom and dad. Laney and Colton couldn’t get enough of the beach, they played and played and played in the sand and water.

They wore Grandpa out demanding kayak rides!

And Delaney spent hours on her sand castle.

We also managed to fit in movies, water fights and lots of Huckleberry milkshakes!

My cousin George, who is also Colton’s God-father came up and stayed for a few days, and my kids couldn’t get enough playing with him. Colton made his pitch the ball for hours!

Hermiston Fair

We had another busy, fun fair week this year. It started on Wednesday with Delaney’s first dance performance.

They had been practicing all summer and they all did a great job. All those little girls in tutu’s were adorable!

DSC02810DSC02813

After her dance we decided to check out the animals- and this hungry sheep decided Laneys tutu looked appetizing and I had to reach halfway down it’s throat to get her skirt free. From that moment on Delaney was extra careful to stay in the middle of the aisle in the sheep barn!

Then it was pony rides, and the petting zoo.

And finally, on Friday Fran and Jake and the kids came down and we all watched the rodeo together! Fun times!
