Visit in Tri-Cities

As posted in the previous blog we were in the Tri-Cities a couple of weeks ago...here is a picture that was taken on Curt's Birthday with his grandparents.

Swimming in Tri-Cities

My sister-in-law, Amy, is a member of a community neighborhood pool so whenever we get the chance and it is warm we like to go swimming.

4th of July-Mattawa, Washington

We spent the 4th of July in Mattawa, Washington. My best friend, Casie, is home for summer break from Oklahoma State. This was our chance to see her before she heads back to school, so we headed to Mattawa for the weekend. As soon as we got there on Saturday we took our boat out on the mighty Columbia river. We spent a few hours out there and then came back into town to a pig roast and fireworks. On Sunday, we were hoping to take the boat out again, but due to 35mph wind gusts we just relaxed around Casie's. In the evening, Casie's dad cooked us his famous tri-tip. After dinner, Curt, Logan, I headed to Tri-Cities to meet up with some more friends and enjoy the fireworks a top of a hill in the Tri-Cities. It was pretty cool watching the fireworks 360 degrees around us in the 3 cities and then all of the private fireworks. On a side note, referring to some earlier pictures of Logan no enjoying her life vest...she does excellent in it now! She evens knows how to drive the boat as you will see in some of these new pictures. She would start steering and she knows that the lever on the right side is the throttle.

Sister-in-law's Baby Shower

Last weekend, we traveled to Washington to throw a baby shower. My sister-in-law Amy and I hosted a baby shower for our sister-in-law, Laura. Her expected due date is August 18th. We had a lot of fun planning and hosting the shower. Laura's nursery theme is safari, so we went in that direction for the baby shower theme. One of Laura's good friends created the Panda cake, it turned out great! I put together the diaper cake. There were about 60 or so diapers rolled and then decorated with baby supplies! Using the diaper cake, we played a game of memorization as well as a few other games. We can't wait to meet our niece or nephew!

Waterbabies!!!

After 2 or 3 trys at getting Logan signed up for Waterbabies, the morning of registration, I woke up at 6am, got online and got Logan signed up! We were the first ones and they only accept 10 kids a session. Her class is 2 weeks, started yesterday, and is for 30 min. Monday-Friday. She did very well, was the best one and enjoyed the water! We sang the "Wheels on the Bus" and "Hokie Pokie." Then they played around on their tummys and then rolled over to their backs and then got to play with some water toys.

2nd Father's Day

For Father's Day, Logan and I cooked Curt breakfast....then we took him to Starbucks and then took a drove to Suttle Lake. We want to go camping there sometime, so we went and checked it out. It was pretty windy and cold so we didn't stay there long, but then we drove back into Sisters and had lunch and then went into a couple of the stores there. Logan and I then cooked some ribs, fried potatoes, and vegies. Then we ended the day with ice cream cake over at Grandpa Bob's.
