Eagle Island

Another week of summer has come and gone. Seriously June is almost over. Slow down! Summer vacation is going well. We are playing a lot. Having all the kids around all the time is going pretty well. I've figured out a good system with Corby do. Every time he makes his sisters cry he gets a job. It helps keep the house clean. Winning! My summer survival plan is to keep crying to a minimum and keep the house clean. Haha! But seriously when my house is clean I am much more calm and happy and more pleasant to be around. If mom's not happy, aint nobody happy!

A few moms and I took our kids to play at the river on Tuesday. That was super fun. We love going there. We've got a great spot to go with the kids and its free so that's always good. On Friday night we got pizza and had a picnic in the backyard and then we went and got ice cream cones at Sonic. Ryan got his very own ice cream cone for the first time. Pretty exciting.

On Saturday Scott decided to block out the day so he wouldn't get any appointments so he could get some projects done around the house and have some family time. He chopped down two of our trees and fixed our fence/gate. He did a bunch of other stuff too. It was great! After that we invited our friends to come with us to Lucky Peak to play. Luckily they heard of an ecoli outbreak so it was closed. So glad they knew that before we drove all the way up there. We went to Eagle Island state park instead. I've always been curious to go there. It was a lot of fun. They have a beach area with roped off swimming sections. The kids had a great time playing on their tubes and squirting their squirt guns and eating their snacks. I bought some picnic junk food and seriously my kids could have had all of it eaten in minutes. We had to keep pacing them and putting the food away. My kids are such piranhas. It was a lot of fun. We will have to go back for sure.

We got such a great harvest of raspberries last Sunday night. Yum, such a treat. I love how little Pipes is tucked away back there. Ha.

Ryan loves to climb in the sink so he can eat the toothpaste. This Bubba!

Story and craft time at the park.

Pizza Picnic

Ryan's first ice cream cone. Yum. 

Too cute.

Father's Day song. Gabby was too scared to go up. She's so much like me it's scary.

Our poor cute "Doris" tree winter killed last fall. So sad. Scott had to take that ugly sucker down.

Hot sweaty's. (They are totally posing in this picture). Ha.
