Up the slide already??

When we were at my parents' house on Sunday, Kylie was crawling around in the back yard while we were working in the garden. The boys were playing on the play structure, and the next thing I know, Kylie starts to climb up the slide! I think she forgets she is only 11 months old.














She just kept trying and trying until she made it all the way to the top. I could hardly believe it. This little girl is gonna be one fearless chick!

Cabin Time!

This last weekend we were going to go camping, but, it just didn't work out as planned. So we ended up at my aunt's cabin at Government Camp. It was so beautiful and it is such a peaceful place.




The first morning there we left Kylie and Grandma at the cabin and we all went fishing. It was so gorgeous!!












There were baby ducks all around us and the boys really enjoyed being on the lake during their first fishing trip.

Kathryn is by far the best fisherwoman in the house. In fact, she is the only one who caught any fish! Matthew caught all salamanders.







This was her biggest fish of 4, and although not big enough to keep, everyone was very excited!!










I love this picture of the 4 boys fishing.








This is one of the salamanders Matthew caught. He thought it was funny to swing them towards me as I screamed. I told him that if one even so much as got near me, I would revoke his driving privileges until he turned 18. That took care of him swinging the nasty little lizards my way!!





































Kylie is turning into such a little girl now! She definitely looks more like a toddler than a baby. She's growing up so fast!










She LOVES her buggy. She got to go on several walks with us in this thing.







See these little Nike Shocks? So cute! A friend of my cousin gave them to her.








This was a beautiful creek running through Government Camp.

4th of July


Hope you had a fabulous 4th of July! We did! Went to the parade in Molalla with friends, scored tons of candy, and had a great time!













The boys anxiously awaiting the parade to start

























































We had a wonderful BBQ at Grandma and Grandpa's house, then lit some fireworks that night.










I was a little worried about how Kylie would react, but she didn't even bat an eye. She did better than the boys did!























Zachary really enjoyed the Pop Its that he could throw on the ground to make noise












This is pretty much what Kylie did the whole night. Just laid back and took it all in. I am so thankful for such an easy-going little girl!
