Slip and Slide

                                                      Anticipating their first run

                                       Jumping up and down excited while Ryan finishes it up

                                            Buddy isn't quite sure what to think of it yet

Ryan finished another project, he's been thinking about making this slip and slide for a while.  Luckily the girls love it, he did a lot of tilling up and down the pasture that didn't look like much fun.  We're excited for people to come enjoy it with us.  Hopefully this baby comes out eventually so I can enjoy it too.

Pacific City

Thank you mom and dad for a fun couple of days at the beach, and for playing in the water, climbing the dunes, and digging with the girls while I sat in my chair and enjoyed the views.

Camping

Ryan took Adie and Eliza camping for the night, they loved it.  The last time we went was before Ashlynn was born so they didn't remember it.  I got to see what it was like to have one child for the night, so Ash and I had a good time too, she really wants to go next time though.  The best part for both of them was the oatmeal Ryan made them in the morning, they let me know he makes better oats than me.  I think for them camping means you get a marshmallow in your oats so I know they'll want to do it again.  They also had fun playing frisbee, going for walks, making a chipmunk trap, and trying to catch crawdads.

Cousins

 It was pretty rainy so my mom, Kayla, and I took the big girls to Gilbert House

 This glazed over look on Adie was how they all looked most of the week.  It was late nights and early mornings for these girls. They were all sleeping together and usually by 6 I could here them in there giggling.

We got to have the Reid family here for three nights, it was awesome watching the girls play and sitting around and catching up with Annie.  Thanks for making the drive and spending so much time here - we loved it

Opal and Ashlynn

 What started out as them doing some finger painting turned into them painting each other, they were laughing so hard, and had all of us laughing pretty hard too

                                                Kayla helped a little

Annie and I agree that these two are pretty similar. It was so fun watching them interact the past few days.  They had some fun together and got in a couple good arguing matches.  One argument went something like this
"me"
"me"
"NO me"
"NO ME"
"MEEEEE"
"NOOOO MEEEEEEE"

The best part of it was that they were playing separately, they each had the toy they wanted, and didn't know what they were arguing about.
