the gap between memorial day weekedn and labor day weekend.....I think it's called summer

Well it has been a action packed summer. Since I uploaded A LOT of pictures here and blogger is SO STINKING HARD TO ORGANIZE ON (What is with that I hate that you have to step ladder all your pictures up the page and it takes forever!!!!!!) so I am just going to go through them like they are and put little captions below them. From the beggining though my dad came out, cherry festival, Brendon turned 7, went camping, lots of fire pits, late spring late summer = late garden but it's in there, went to Kennwick for convention with Stevan's mom which was really fun, got to spend time with my brother Gus, did my first car show with my Uncle Dave really fun got rained out though, lots of BBQ's, lots of fire pits, mushroom hunting,more visits with my brother, swimming at the pool and water areobics, go to the dam, a few playdates, Brendon lost his first tooth, and I think that's it. It's about to hit crazy preserving time I've dehydrated a bit and made one batch of jam, oh yea we did Cruise night, hung out with my brother Ben. And now we're back in school we will have one more big camping trip with the Vaughn's and then summer is wrapping up. I can't believe it as run on sentence as this post is and hodge podged pictures are that is how this summer has felt. I can't believe it's winding down already. I thought it just started. My brother is off to college now. it's been great getting to know him all over again. He is such a good guy.




Betty came out and got all the kids on the bungee jump. Wess flew clear up into the trees and loved every minute of it.
