little bits of summer

 Oh, the days of summer seem to be slipping by WAY to fast!  I am not ready for it to be over.  So, for the next few weeks, I will be doing everything I can to soak up the little bit of summer that is left.  The kids have been spending every day outside and its starting to show by all of their little tan lines. 
~~~~~~~~~
The wheat is starting to turn...Harvest is right around the corner!
Standing back watching daddy work.
Kalia LOVES playing basketball.  So, When we asked her what she wanted for her birthday, she responded with, "a shorter BB hoop and a smaller ball." 
Request granted, little one.  Just wait and see.
 Kinley loves his dump truck so much, and insisted on taking it on our walk.  Guess who ended up carrying it back.  Not him.
 Helping grandma blow up the little slide.
 Our kind of pool party! 
 (When the pool in town is not open!)
This little guy LOVES his trucks, tractors, and cars.  And Kalia has had so much fun getting to know her second cousins.  Mostly because they have iPads, and she thinks they are so cool!
Playing at the pool on the last day they were open. 
 Seriously, summer is/was way too short!
I love looking out and seeing the cows on the hills.
 
I may have enjoyed a cup of coffee on the patio this one morning. 
It was just to nice to pass up some time outside!
We hope you are all enjoying your last few weeks of summer.
We certainly are doing our best to make the most of it! 
Up next....our trip back to Seattle.

Pictures from my phone

Its not easy to remember your camera when you step out of the house. So, here are a few pictures from my phone.  They may not be the best quality photos, but they capture the moment!
~~~~~~~~
We went to Canada for an overnight stay and had a blast.  The science center was a big hit with the kids, and the adults as well!
Making bubbles with Auntie Kara
 Daddy is the best builder!
 They loved the peg board thing....

 Making shapes stick to the wall.
Boys and their toys makes big smiles!
 Shane let Kinley ride on the lawn mower... but he isn't heavy enough in the seat to keep the engine running.  So, Shane is having to push down to add some extra weight.
 On our walk....Kinley decided he just wanted to sit down on the edge of the road.  Must have looked like a good resting place.
They love these rocking animals at the park.
 And....they love to plop on top of grandpa if he is ever looking on his computer!
Kalia is helping uncle check cows.
