Gap Tooth Grin

The gap tooth grin just got even bigger!  First missing top front tooth.  LOL!  He was trying sooooo hard to hold out for the first day of school tomorrow, so that he could get a special tooth necklace from the school nurse.  Oh well!  Better luck with the next wiggly tooth, bud.

Grammy & Grampy Summer Camp

Kicking off the last weekend of summer at Grammy & Grampy's summer camp, sans Mom & Dad.  Something tells me they're not gonna miss us too much.....

Whale Rock

This rock down the road from Grammy & Grampy's was always a favorite growing up.  I don't recall it having so much moss (probably because we were always climbing it!).  

Happy Birthday Natalie!

These two will be reunited in first grade this year!  Yay!!  :-)

Happy Birthday Elise!

A busy day for birthday parties!  Happy birthday to school and neighborhood bestie, Elise!

Goofing Around

While Aiden gets his back-to-school haircut.

Quality Time with The Boy

While Bree's at Art Camp.  xo

Hooping

Tubing Adventures

My courageous young man wanted to go solo on the tube this summer.  I was fully prepared to jump on the raft with him, but to my surprise he didn't want me to come along for the ride.  AND he wanted Grampy to drive FAST!

Nailed it!

Next up, Brienne.  I didn't think she would go at all, never mind alone.  Today was full of surprises for this mumma.....

Spoiled cousins, kickin' back.

Grammy stopped the boat in the middle of the lake, so these crazy kids could jump off.  This might have been even more exciting for them than the tubing!

There goes Aiden!

And Bree....

The "best cousins" Joe Joe and Brienne.  

Pool Party

The cousins invaded the quiet Barriault / West oasis.  Auntie Renee & Adam must have been so relieved to see us go.  LOL!  Thanks for letting us crash your pool, guys!  xoxo

Fire Pit

We finally got to enjoy Grammy & Grampy's new fire pit tonight.  So awesome!  Nice work, Grampy!  Want to come build one at our house next??  We just know you're looking for projects in your semi-retirement.  :-)

Fun with sparklers.

Wine tastes even better down by the lake (and paired with a s'more)

YUM!

This may need to become a regular stop on our way to Grammy & Grampy's.  A little off the beaten path, but oh so worth it!!

Soaking Up Summer

Airborne Comedians

Enjoying another fun free show!

Hydrating

Camp Invention

The end of a super fun week at Camp Invention.  Aiden repurposed on old VCR (yes - we had to explain what a VCR was) into a new board game.

Beautiful Beach Day

Aiden's at camp today.  Shhh!

CSA Share Photobomber

Swimming Lessons!

Looking a little intimidated by the big kids, but she held her own.

Brienne's Birthday (Part III - The "Friend" Party")

The never-ending birthday is FINALLY coming to an end today!  Bree has really been looking forward to this Garden Party celebration with her friends from school.

Dirt Cake!

Loving her first brand new bike!
