Just a few pictures

I've become terrible at this blogging thing, but here are a few pictures from our summer (none from Hawaii, yet). We've been having fun!

Cake pop from Auntie Kari and Amanda.

Total satisfaction.

She loves these boots.

And so does he.

Whale watching in June. (Not sure what's wrong with Z in this picture.)

Swim lessons for Zeker.

We only look alike when we make this face.

It was her idea to put her brother's underwear on her head. She thought it was hilarious.

Westra pool party at Aunt Betty's! So fun!

Birthday Girl!

We finally got to celebrate Olive's big day! Here are a few highlights.

Two more hours to kill until Jeff comes home

Sometimes the days feel really long. And we run out of things to do.

And I have to think of some way to pass the time.

And my kids aren't always happy with what I come up with.

Back with Birthdays!

I know, I know. It's been forever and I'm a terrible blogger/mother/person. Here are a few highlights from the past couple of months.

The boy turned 3!

And the whole family chipped in to get him his very own bouncer! He had a fun time celebrating with his Westra cousins (Olive, obviously, was not enjoying the photo session).

Then we celebrated Jeff's birthday!




Next, we celebrated the much anticipated arrival of our first Bixby cousin - Sawyer Isaac Scully. LOVE him!!





Finally, our big girl turned 1 last week!


Her birthday party outfit! We'll see if she gets a chance to wear it this Saturday...still hoping the chicken pox make an appearance this week...not counting on it, though.

Even though the official celebration hasn't taken place, we let her open up a couple of presents.

And she and her brother enjoyed some birthday pancakes.

So, I am really going to try to get back on track with blogging. We are just having some issues with children not wanting to nap at the same time, or at all. And more issues with these same children tearing apart our tiny house...

But, I'm really going to try. I promise.

Say "Starbucks!"

Do you think it's bad that my three year old is asking to go to Starbucks? Do you think it's lame that two of my last three posts have been about Starbucks? I'd say yes and yes.

So, I promised Zeke we would go on Sunday morning since Jeff was working. But it was freezing cold. Seriously cold.

So cold that there was snow on the mountains behind our house and ice on our car.

So cold we had to bundle up and one of us had to dress like a pink teddy bear.

She got over it.

See?

Sometimes life kicks you in the rear

Here are some pictures from the past month to prove that we're still alive and kickin' back.
