In the good ole' summertime...

Abbi vs the hose







What? Doesn't every mom let their kids ride their bikes in their underwear?

ROAD TRIP...

DuVall and I have calculated that in the month of July we have driven nearly 4,ooo miles! (I think we'll be staying home and out of the vehicles for a while.) Here are just a few pictures from our trip up the coast to Washington where we had our LAWS family reunion. (More to come on that later.)

San Francisco, The Redwood Forest, Silver Creek Falls, and a few car pictures!

Backyard Paradise

Over the 4th holiday we went to a family BBQ at a friend of the family's backyard. It was amazing, every kids dream! (Well, and adults like me.) The kids had such a great time they wore themselves completely out. Our ride home after the party was completely silent. That never happens!!!

Abbi thinks she can swim by herself. Makes it very fun for whoever is watching her.

Olivia about to jump off the 12 foot waterfall into the deep end of the pool. She must have done it 2 dozen times that day.

We also spent some time with my brother, "Uncle Paulie" while we were in Utah. On July 3rd he celebrated his 30th birthday. (Or "29B" as he calls it.) He took Olivia for her first horsey ride. (That we know of, thank you Jodi and Juli.) Like a dream come true for our little horse lover!

What an amazing Uncle! My girls are so lucky!
