Where is the summer going?

So much to do and not enough time sure is my mantra these days. I always have big ideas of all the things I want to do/get done during the summer, but between the demands of a toddler and the transition of a new job...I want a do-over!!

Regardless, we still have found time for some fun!!


Cowabunga Bay....a new waterpark...with Grandma and Jordan


Garrett turned 1!!! It is hard to believe that a whole year has gone by! We had a BBQ to celebrate with fireworks! I think we'll turn it into a tradition!


Freedom Festival 4th of July Parade with my parents, brothers, sister, aunt and cousins! It's been a long time since we've gone to the 4th of July parade. The weather was perfect this year, not scorching heat!


We spent a week in a beach house on the central coast of Oregon with Lance's parents! First time we've had plans for a "relaxing" vacation! We went with no planned agenda, just a few ideas of some things we wanted to do and see!



Garrett has the right idea for easy airport navigation!






The beaches were too cold for too much water adventure, Lance and the kids were brave in venturing out...didn't last long!!


Since the weather was so cool, skim-boarding was the water activity Devan and Kelsie had so much fun doing!



Kelsie and Jordan went to a Dance Camp...

Next week is the start of Devan's football season, signalling the count-down for the new school-year! Hopefully we can manage to fit a few more adventures into Summer '09!

I love the family picture. It looks like you have been able to fit planty of fun into your summer. It has been quite difficult for me to fit fun in (with the baby and all :)
Where is that waterpark? Looks like fun!

Sorry, "plenty" not "planty". I really CAN spell- just not proofread apparently.

Looks like you guys had fun! We are in Oregon as I type now. We went to the Lincoln City Beach area but I'm not quite sure if mine was as fun as yours. My family can drive me crazy at times. I'm ready to go home but dreading the 14hour plus drive with a 2 1/2 year old. Pray for me!
