Backyard Pool

We spent a lot of time in the backyard pool this summer. All of the kids love love loved it.  It was a good summer.

A Cub Scout!

Besides his upcoming baptism, I think the most exciting part of Liam turning 8 for Wes and Liam is that he became a cub scout! His very first evening at cub scouts, he built a rocket and his won!  When the boys got home, they got working on all of his scout stuff!  It was so cute.

Swimming lessons!

For their birthdays, both Liam and Addy got swimming lessons from my mom and dad. We had so much fun watching them swim swim swim!  They took lessons at deer park, the same place my mom did when she was a kid!













And Finn tried to break into the pool from playing in the park with dad while the kiddos swam:
 

Happy Birthday, Liam!

I can't believe my baby is eight! So so so crazy to me!  Here are a few favorites of Liam at eight years old:
-Lego movie (he designed and executed his cake himself)
-Power Rangers
-American Ninja Warrior
-Sandwiches
-Green
-Games
-Math
-Captain Underpants Books
-Diary of a Wimpy Kid Books
-School
-Being a Cub Scout!

For his birthday we had a low key pool party at Aunt Bethy's Apartment complex.  Cousins and GG and Grandpa Great and Nana and Papa joined us. Nana helped Liam bake his cake. He chose a camo cake with orange frosting and decorated it with legos himself. We went to toys r us and he chose his birthday gift- a lego movie lego set. He pooled his money to purchase it and was diligent in getting it put together. We had such a fun birthday all together!



















































These were taken on the following morning which was his actual birthday




 
Happy Birthday Buddy!

Random Snapshots from Washington!

Here are just some random photos from our Washington trip.  The girls watched the kids while we were in the sealing and they took some cute photos of the kids in the visitors' center. Liam had fun sleeping in random places, including outside on the trampoline all night. I can't believe he made it all night out there with the girls.  Addy had fun baking with Kisha. We also had a super fun BBQ with Fred and Heidi and Jamie and Bethany. It was fun to hang out with friends. The kids had a blast with their kids. And I had to snap some photos of the Tacoma bridge for Liam since he learned all about it in his bridge unit in GT.
