August

the big kids went to spend the night at Papi's! They always have a great time and it's a nice break for David and me. 

Papi took them to Rocky Reach Dam

Tyson and I drove up to pick the kids up in Wenatchee. Usually we meet halfway. But I wanted to go to the Secret Beach on the Loop Trail with the kids. So we met at Lee Elementary and were able to play on the playground and someone Papi knows even let us in to walk around inside. I love nostalgia! 
Tyson LOVED the dipping his feet in the little stream next to the Columbia River.

dinner at Heather and Nathan's. I just love seeing these cousins together

Practicing tricks with Evan

The kids are doing well as laundry helpers! It's been fun to watch Benson fold so carefully.

my sweet little guy! He likes to roll over to his tummy to sleep now. :)

Sadie is such a great dog, other than not staying out of cars' paths very well. But she is so patient with the kids. Also, when we're out doing yard work, she'll come and sit by Tyson's bouncer like she's watching over him. :)

we've been doing some walks out toward the airport.

eating oranges with her baby :)

slip n slide fun!

we did a little yard sale at Aunt Kathy Harris' in town. Annika made duck tape crafts to sale. So tender.

Adam and Emilee stayed with us while Adam interviews for a few jobs in Moses Lake!
