Ocean Park Weekend

My brothers and their families were planning on heading up to camp at my dad's 9 acre property in Ocean Park, WA with him for the weekend and we decided to go too at the last minute. Peyt headed up early on Thursday morning with Randy, Amy and Austin and B, Liv and I drove up after I got off work Friday evening. Hughy was kind enough to take our tent and mattresses up and set them up for us since we didn't get there until about 9pm. The weather was pretty dreary and cool, but it was nice to get out of town for a couple days. The kids had a blast and now are even more excited for Wickiup! Saturday the sun was trying really hard to break through the thick clouds and it got pretty warm down on the beach. It was a nice quick get away...I love being with my family!

Happy 7th Birthday Ethan!!

After Julien's party we headed over to the Hadley's to celebrate Ethan turning 7! Kate had an awesome spread of food/Transformer-themed party, the kids jumped on Ethan's new trampoline and had a blast playing together. It was fun having a few kids from their first grade class there. After we left, Peyton told us he had such a fun day. Love that!

Besties...oh Liv

Kate set up an awesome treasure hunt that led to the pinata

Happy 1st Birthday Julien!

Both my great nephews Sully and Julien turned one in the past week! I was sad to miss Sully's party last weekend...I had to work (story of my life). Today we headed out to Vancouver to Sean and Delores' new house to celebrate Julien's birthday. Happy Birthday Julien Ezra!

He was way into the slip n' slide..such a cutie!

He's on his way to being a bike stud like Daddy

Great Grandpa and Julien

He was pretty hilarious with his cupcake...he stuck his nose on it! I don't think he was sure what to do! HA!

4th of July

I had to work on the 4th of July so after I got off work, we had a low-key 4th of July at home with the kids. It was nice since we were facing a busy weekend ahead. We played outside until it got dark, Grammy and Papa stopped by and we let off some fireworks and then watched all the amazing (illegal) fireworks people were setting off all around the neighborhood. The kids loved it.
