 |
| A very healthy picnic lunch at Drake Park |
 |
| One of our favorite summertime activities - free concerts at the amphitheater! |
 |
| Talia getting in on the kid dancing action |
 |
| Many trips to the toddler park |
 |
| Talia's new favorite thing to do - push Tristan down the slide. |
 |
| And of course our bike rides we take at least three times a week. With a beautiful view like this, why wouldn't you want to go out as often as possible?? |
 |
| Weekend bike trips with the whole family. So lucky to have this amazing place just a few miles from our house! |
 |
| Getting the Audi mom-wagon was also a big highlight! |
 |
| And of course art projects are a must! |
 |
| Somehow they always end up all over her body instead of the paper. Which is why we color/paint without shirts on now :) |
 |
| This is from a few months ago, but had to include it. Both of them are wearing clothes that belonged to Brian and I when we were their age. Both of our parents saved some of our clothes to give to future grandchildren. We love to play dress up! |
 |
| Happy hour with our lovely lady :) |
 |
| Picnic lunches at the Pirate Park |
 |
| The coolest slide ever! |
 |
| Taking a little break at Mom's favorite summer spot - frozen yogurt shop! |
 |
| Summer concert festival in downtown |
 |
| Even Lincoln and his Grama Karen came to visit for a weekend! |
 |
| And baths were needed each night as these boys know how to get beyond dirty each day! |
 |
| Music and Movement storytime at the library |
 |
| Making his first pizza |
 |
| Final product! |
 |
| Sleeping off her nose dive onto the concrete after jumping head first off the stroller. Just another day in the life of Talia :) |
 |
| Still has evidence of her road rash at The Big Play Place (best invention ever to wear out little ones!) |
 |
| Bike rides and first snow cones |
 |
| Painting their own Lightning McQueen and Mater shirts! |
 |
| Talia and her BFF cousin Emma :) |
 |
| Bella loves to cuddle with Brody :) |
 |
| Yet another yard project. After the unsuccessful grass seed project of '12, we decided laying all new sod is the best route to go. SOOO much better! |
 |
| Talia's new favorite way to make coffee. This provided endless hours of entertainment :) Oh, and you can see the final product in the background. Love new green grass! |
 |
| Making our own ice cream. Shaking our bags for 20 minutes seemed like a great idea until we made it past the 2 minute part and they completely lost momentum. Even putting Paw Patrol on for added motivation didn't work. Guess who got to do the rest of the shaking? Great for the biceps! |
 |
| No more shaking. Sitting down to rest after 2 minutes while I shook two bags! |
 |
| But this was definitely their favorite part! |
 |
| Blowing bubbles is always a summer favorite :) |
 |
| All the cousins going up to one of the many Cascade Lakes just a few miles from our house! |
 |
 |
| Amazing views anywhere you look at this lake. And apparently Talia needs a bigger sunhat :) |
What a fun summer we've had so far! Looking forward to more fun adventures in store!
