Is it July already??? Rewind to June...

Life never ceases to run away from me...and with my camera in tow everywhere I go, there aLOT of pictures to post. So, with no further adieu, here is what we did in June!


The boys and I got up early on Sat Jun 6 to go fishing at Gene Coulon park. They got a bunch of goodies, a T-shirt, a fishing pole, and 2 fish...they had a great time :)

Tom and his first fish

Tom's 2nd fish was huge!

Those fish are slippery!

Andrew finally gets a fish! It took 2 volunteers to get the fish to quit stealing his bait!

Ewe! Yuck! Gutting time.



A trip to Lake Meridian in Kent on a nice day while the boys were in school...

Morgan having a ball, ha ha :)

Emily and Paul...good substitute for weight training!

Me and the Morgans...and Summer

Morgan is like a little fish :)

Paul's Yoda impression

Mel's son, Tristan and the bug larva he found floating in the lake...yummy

My friend, Mel K and her daughter Morgan :) Good taste in names I must say!

Mel's Morgan sporting her bunny towel :)


My Silly Morgan


Tom's Cub Scout pack had the last pack meeting of the school year at Lion's camp...a day use camp. We had dinner, awards and ended the night with a flag burning/retiring ceremony.
Morgan posed for me on a stump

Tom got his Weeblos badge :)

Andrew and the marshmallows I roasted...they looked like little burnt mushrooms :)

Morgan and my friend, Cathy's, daughter Hannah. We made her pose in her dance costumes at a park...she was freezing! Morgan thought she was a pretty princess...she looks up to her :)

You have to admit, this is pretty darn cute picture!

School's out! We headed for Gene Coulon Beach Park on Lake Washington...
it was a half day the last day. Yep, these kids were all with us...they had a great time

Morgan loves the beach

That night it was Tom's 40th birthday...the kids and I cleaned the house, made a homemade cake, and decorated a birthday banner for him :) We went out to dinner...it was a very low-key celebration....just the kind my hubby likes! :)

The day after school was out, my sister, Debbie, and I piled some of our kids in the car and went to Great Wolf Lodge in Grand Mound, WA. Connor had baseball, so he couldn't go...Micaela brought her friend, Katelyn and I brought Tom, Andrew, and Summer. Morgan spent the night with grandma and grandpa :)

In the lobby by the clock tower

This is such a cool place! It is kept at 84 degrees all year...
we really want to go back this winter :)

Andrew and Aunt Debbie

The tubes were as big as Andrew!

The gang at breakfast...Tom had all you can eat MEAT! Buuurp!

Behold the magic banana!!
The magic of the sausage is awe inspiring!

After I lost him twice, once while running up and down the stairs during Magiquest, and another time after we frantically searched for his lost wallet (that ended up at home on the counter, we headed to the elevator...he went in and I didn't make it before the door shut...it took about 20 minutes of searching, but he ended up at the front desk...good job Andrew!), Andrew stuck to me like glue...I followed him around with the camera and he hammed it up :)
Andrew
No, he'snot having fun :)

We really had a great time :)


My nephew, Jared had his birthday and of course, we all celebrated

Jared and Summer both loved the balloons...

these two are just 4 weeks apart in age...

Jared was 2 weeks late and Summer was 13 weeks early!

Jared turned 1 on June 16! He really knew what to do with his birthday cake :)

Morgan and Emily REALLY enjoyed their cake and ice cream :)
