Summer 2010: Part 2

Ballet Recital.

Practicing before the big show.

After a few technical difficulties the show went on.

Phedora's Ballet Friends.

Fun At Home.

They love each other.

The silly things they do.

They claimed it didn't hurt at all.

They went up and down for a good half hour, maybe even longer.

Into The Wild.

Camping At Diablo Lake

North Cascades National Park.

Its been a long day.

Chilling by the fire.

Pancakes, the breakfast of campers.

No pictures!

Gross.

We were walking down to the lake looking for a place to fish.

The mud was super slippery.

Phedora slipped and fell.

Cleaning up this mess was not fun as there was no showers where we were staying at.

We used ALOT of baby wipes and heat up some water next to the fire.

Talking about fishing with Uncle Jake.

He's ready.

Miss P likes to fish too.

Casting his line in.

He's going to catch something.

They both are going to catch something.

Well maybe not, but they both had a great time.

Snuggle time with Daddy.

So sleepy.

Isis pulled up one of the kids' chairs after they went to bed.

Happy Birthday!

While we were camping I turned 31.  I stressed out about turning 30 only to realize that it wasn't that big of a deal when it was all said and done.  That said I didn't think that turning 31 would be a big deal.  I feel so much older now though than I ever have.  We went to Silverdale to celebrate my birthday with Dan's parents. We went over early and took the kids down to the Silverdale waterfront to play.  It was a beautiful day, the kids had fun playing on the playground and then we went down to the water to flip over rocks in search of crabs.  There were a lot of crabs down there and the kids had a great time looking for them.

Once we were all tired of that Dan decided that he wanted to go up to the bike shop up the road and look at bikes.  So we did, I though nothing of it as I have been trying to convince Dan that we should both get bikes so we can go on bike rides with the kids.  Anyway, we go up there and the employees are acting all strange taking Dan off to talk to him.  I think nothing of it and Phedora and I start looking at bikes.  Dan calls us over and there is a bike with ribbons and a card on it.  The card has my name on it and I am speechless.  I am still kind of speechless to be perfectly honest, but I sure do love my new bike!

Trying out my new ride.

Tom and Peg met us at the bike shop and we headed over to Fujiyama for dinner.  Its always a great time when you get a show with your meal.  The kids loved watching our chef and his cool tricks.  Of course Dan had to go and tell them that we were celebrating my birthday.  He just loves to embarrass me, but I still love him.

It was a great birthday celebration!

I love my family!
