she broke a leg!

Audrey's play went great this weekend. We're all exhausted but she had such a wonderful time, learned a lot, and even made a sweet new friend. A huge success all around!

 

basketball

Liam played on a 3-on-3 basketball team this weekend at the Raspberry Festival in Lynden. They played hard and had a lot of fun!

villains, villains and more villains!

Audrey is participating in a play this summer through Creative Youth Theater. The play is called Villains, Villains and More Villains! She is thrilled with her part because she gets to be a damsel in distress who later turns into a villain. If you're interested - they will be performing Thursday, 7/25 at 7pm, Friday, 7/26 at 7pm and Saturday, 7/27 at 11am.

gulp!

This was our conversation in the car this morning....

Ethan - Mom, it seems like a lot of people are having babies. When are you going to have another baby?

Me - Well buddy, Daddy and I have decided that we are not going to have any more babies. We'll adopt more kids into our family, but I won't have more babies.

Ethan - Why not?

Me - We just decided that three is good.

Ethan - Well how do you NOT have any more babies?

Liam - Yeah - how?

Me - GULP. Well, it's kind of complicated. We'll talk about it later.

Oh crap - I'm pretty sure I need to tell them how you HAVE babies before I tell them how you don't. I'm so not ready for this....

track and field

The kids and I went to a track and field night this week. Our Parks and Rec department organizes these activities in the summer and this was the last one this year- so in spite of the fact that it was hot and we'd all had a long day - we went! The kids had fun participating in running, mini-javelin, shot-put, discus and long jump competitions.

girls weekend

Audrey and I spent the weekend in Lake Chelan with our good friends Kylie and McKenna. It was our fourth-annual Girls Weekend - and we had a great time! We somehow managed to not get a picture of the four of us - but got a few cute ones of the girls.

Thanks Mom and Dad for letting us take over your home once again. We are so blessed to have such a wonderful place to go! And thank you Grandma for helping Audrey sew their matching skirts!

eager anticipation

Daddy was gone this weekend for less than 24 hours and returned to this -- two eager boys awaiting his arrival.

I guarantee I don't get this kind of reception when I go away. There's just something about Daddy...
