Blast Off

Another adventure with our cousins at Blast Off. They have awesome ball pits,
slides, tunnels and a 'make believe land' with dress up toys

Super cute princesses

The lighting in there is terrible for pictures so they are either blurry or dark.......what can you do?

Can you see the dads in the background, chatting it up?

If you look closely at Megan you can see how high that slide bounces
her off of the floor when she lands....hilarious

Before the jump

and after the jump

We sure had a blast!

Rigby Lake

Now that Casey is out of school and hasn't started working yet it is
play time!!

We decided to hit up Rigby Lake one afternoon
and happened to run into Casey's sister and her little girl

The girls loved to play in the sand

Even Addison :)

Casey's weird face, that's a cool slide in the background but we
were all too chicken to swim out there and try it......the water was pretty cold :)

A fun day!

Fondant!!

OK, no laughing......










well maybe you can laugh a little.....








What is it you ask?
My first ever attempt at covering a cake with fondant

This is what happens when I try to get creative
without following someone else's plans....
weird rectangles that look like cheese

But it was much easier than I thought it would be and a lot of fun!

Here is Meggie's creation.....

I have no idea where that face came from...

Seriously?

As I'm dusting the bookshelf I notice a lot of "sawdust"
and I think, 'what the?'
So I pull this one from the bottom of the pile and notice in the bottom left corner......
a bug
a dead bug
.....
he had eaten my book!

What kind of a bug eats books?

At least it only made it about an inch before keeling over,
apparently Tennyson is poisonous

Washington

The girls and I had a blast visiting my family in Washington a few weeks ago.
I posted pictures of the beach earlier but here are a few more


Cousins!

Swingin' buds
(nevermind that Megan has a bad habit of pushing him over)

Here's my sis, sis-in-law and her two boys

We were honored to be guests at the Powell family pig roast

We spent many days gossiping over boys and whatever else
teenage girls talk about....pretty much boys :)

(I love Deacon's little hand poking up for his mommy :)

All that playing really wares a girl out....

Now for some rock throwing in the beautiful Columbia River

Sisters

and some rattle playing

We had tons of fun but we missed our Daddy and
again were completely wore out....

PA Graduation 2010

Woohoo to our dad!
Casey graduated from the ISU PA program
August 6, 2010

We're all a little older, and a little chubbier, but so excited
to be done with our student days :)

Megan's face in this picture is just classic

Good job Casey, we love you and are so proud of all of your hard work!
