July is here and so is SUMMER!!!

Whoo, Hoo! It's warm and sunny in Seattle, finally! We had a pretty wet spring and early summer, but mother earth is making up for it now. Last week, we were in the 80's and 90's and loving most of it. We did spend two nights sleeping in our AC'd basement, but it's a small sacrifice for warm and dry.

We celebrated the 4th with a camp out at Papa Lonnie's. There was lots of riding, eating, and visiting. We always have a nice time with the family down in Glenoma. My parents visited us this year, it was nice to show them around and let them watch Derick (and the rest of the family) enjoy the dirt bikes.

Darla giving me her kissy face. I love this face!



Derick riding the three wheeler all by himself. Jeremy did put a throttle stop on it, so it can only go as fast as he determined. Derick was awesome on it!




Then, it was time to celebrate my Mom's birthday. Nonna and Papa brought in some yummy eats from T&T and we had cake and sang. It was a relaxing and enjoyable visit. Mom, you don't show your age at all. I know it's all a state of mind, and I hope to be doing as much as you when I'm 59. *wink*


Here are some pics of the kids enjoying the warm weather this week. I bought a new pool this year, and I hope it stands up to the kid abuse and the deck a little better than the old one.









Derick's new shades....he picked them out himself at the West Seattle Street Fair. Adorable boy!


Here's to some fun summer days ahead!
