Swim day!

Michelle brought their kids over today to go swimming! Little Addison was fearless. She just turned 1 and she kept wanting to go under water! She is gonna take off swimming before she learns how to walk:) I taught Dodge how to do a cannon ball and he taught me how to make a water volcano (blowing bubbles in the water). He had a blast! It was a great day!

Michelle, Addison and Dodge

Dodge just did a cannon ball!

The laundry room is finished!

Galen cleaned up and put everything away tonight and now he is offically finished with our "green" room:)He is the best husband ever, he paints and cleans up too. I love the improved laundry room. Now, I need to figure out my cricut machine so I can put some wall art up and I need to settle on a color for the kitchen!Home improvements are so fun!

Painting the laundry room..........

Galen liked to paint when he was younger too!

The painting has begun! I decided I wanted to add some color to our house. So, Galen has been a painting machine!

Mack aka: MOOSE and momma

We have decided that Mack is more like a moose. He is huge but thinks he is still a baby! He is a funny dog:)




He likes to sit on the couch!

Oregon Coast

Galen and I were able to take a trip up to Oregon to see our families this summer. My parents and I spent the weekend on the coast in Seaside. While I was on the coast, Galen was able to spend the weekend at his parents house in Portland. He had a lot of fun hanging out with his sister, playing basketball. On Saturday, Galen, his sister and his mom met us at the sandcastle competion in Cannon Beach and we all spent the day together on the beach, checking out sandcastles and I flew my kite. It was awesome! Then on Sunday I met back up with Galen and his family and we had a pinic before heading to the airport. It was our best trip this summer. We even fell back in love with the Northwest and we think we are ready to move back there. Well, not for a year or so but we are thinking Oregon is going to be the next place we call home.

Our dog Mack, he didn't get to come to Oregon with us. However, I found this picture with the Oregon pictures so decided he needed to be included!

Hawaii

Our annual trip to the North Shore with the Johnson family. We snorkeled, sat on the beach, shopped, ate a lot, the boys golfed and Michelle and I tried our luck at SUPing (stand up paddling on a surf board). We had a lot of fun and got a lot of sun. We love our trips to Hawaii with Ryan and Michelle!
