Date night and Concert for the boys

The boys and their friend, Jeremy, had a concert in Spokane yesterday. Ethan's good friend, TJ, is in a band called Ongoing Concept. Rusty and I took the boys and dropped them off and then walked over to a nice Italian joint and stuffed ourselves. The food was delicious! After dinner we walked around the park and took the short gondola ride. Kinda a waste of money, but I had never done it. The falls were cool, but it is a short ride for 7 bucks. We had a great evening though and the boys enjoyed their concert.

Shopping and lunch

Took the boys shopping today for a few clothes and spent a fortune. Normally we go to Kohl's when I have coupons and save big, but they wanted band shirts so we went to Hot Topic at the mall. I spent $20/shirt (gasp) plus shoes and a few pair of jeans for Tucker. They will probably need more before school starts, but the bank is broken for today. They really NEED to stop growing so much.

We did have a nice day though and a yummy lunch at Red Robin.

Out of the nest

Momma must be trying to teach them to fly. I was up worrying about them all night. There is still one in the nest this morning, but I can find the 3 that are sitting here. I am hoping that they flew off somewhere safe. The momma is still out there chirping away. So.... I think they are the cutest dang things and would be so sad if they didn't make it.

Awesome weekend

We had a great weekend on the water. It was just beautiful and the water was so refreshing. Tucker and Cooper had a blast tubing. I think Bella even enjoyed her first boating trip. We are blessed to live in such a beautiful area.

A beautiful day at Bayview

We had a beautiful day on the lake today. Tucker fed the geese crackers from his hands. I couldn't get the picture fast enough, but he did it several times. There was one poor bird that the others would not let get close to us. They would all chase him away any time he got close. We also saw eagles up in the tree. Need a little stronger zoom, but you can see them.

Baby Birdies

We have a nest up in our front porch. I have been watching it for a while now. The babies have finally hatched. I thought there were two, but I see 3 up there. There is one on the other side, can you see it's fuzzy little head? They are so cute. I love to listen to them make their cute little birds noises all day.

Camping with the Karls

All the guys floating down the Flathead.

Beautiful Lily!

Isn't that so beautiful!

Goofy hubby drinking his beer with a licorce straw.

The girls had a wonderful time playing with the dogs. They just couldn't get enough of them.

Getting ready to climb up the rock bank.

Rusty and Don had to check out the water before the boys floated.

Climbing over the NO TRESPASSING fence! BUSTED!!!!

The silly boys spent a great deal of time in the camper playing PS2 games. We had to kick them out frequently and make them do something outside. lol

Lily and I makin' smores!

The crew!

Lily of the Loaf! That's what Don calls her, just cracks me up!

The doggies in their cage!

Tucker (buried), Ethan, and Zach. They slept slideways on the sofa bed and they were all hanging off the end.

We had a wonderful extended weekend in Montana with the Karls. It was such a fun, relaxing time. It was a beautiful river and all of us were able to get in the water and play a bit. My dogs got so much attention this weekend that they will probably want to be adopted by the girls. lol Miss you guys already!

Playing at the park w/ Laura and Hunter

We met Laura and Hunter at the park Wednesday for some sun and fun. He is so cute! We had a nice visit and he enjoyed crawling around in the water.

Camping

We are going towards Glacier for a camping trip with the Karls. I found a nice campground on the river. Well I am hoping it is nice. It is kinda scary just going off of the internet. There is the river, playground, basketball court, picnic tables, and fire pits so can't be too bad. lol I am excited to meet up with our friends again. This will be our first trip in the new (well new to us) camper.
