summers at Lake Goodwin

One of our favorite places to got on hot days is the beach.  This beach is super clean, not gross stuff in the water and shallow for a long ways out.  

Building sand castles with Abby

 Bella likes to water our feet and also water the sand before she walks on it so it doesn't burn her feet.

He is on a mission



 Belly flops of the logs...bet that feels good...enough to do it over and over again.
A walk with Sam.

Summer Vacation 2013

Spent our first day at a cabin near stevens pass and discovered Wenatchee Lake which we all loved.





Love this picture


Josh and his cousin Christian

Josh made himself a little couch/living room

After a long day of swimming.  We then headed to Leavenworth and then onto Lake Chelan for 4 days, which I forgot to take pictures of but we had a blast.

I had to then go to girls camp and Brien stayed with the kids  in Cle Elum and they would visit me each day.  Brien and I spoke for a camp fireside and then My dad, brother in law, brother, and Brien helped the girls rock climb.  Josh was able to climb whenever the girls were done and he is a little spiderman.  

Bella tried it, but was a little scared.  They pulled her up a little, but was soon ready to come down.

So she built houses for ants...

and more ants

while Josh continued to climb

Bella loved spending time with the girls and playing on the bridge

Josh found a rock pile and tried many times to ride completely up and down it, but to no avail.  also had a few tears.

So he climbed some more.  The end.



READ MORE PLEASE

Found Josh reading to Bella before bed.  She loves books and so does Josh.

Seattle

July 2013: took the kids to Seattle.  Shopped the goodwill, went to pike place, walked the pier, then had dinner at red robin on the pier.  It was so much fun and the kids love to look at the water and watch all the boats.  










Josh-he is kind

Josh wrote this to Bella so she could wake up to it in the morning.  I thought it was very thoughtful and sweet.  

Josh and I built a shelf together.  He learned lots of things about working with wood and I loved making it with him.  It is fun to spend time together.

shopping

 First of all...Belles loves to shop.  I said, "Bella, go get dressed we are going shopping!" She ran to her room, took a couple minutes, then comes out and says, "ok mom, I'm ready to GO!"  Love the unique fashion PJ shirt, moms shoes, make up bag, an infant headband.


Family

New thing-funny faces.  She says this is a "happy face":)


Bella loving the babies.  She loved having her cousin Oliver and Camille over.

Josh as Santa

Josh realized he really can do magic.
