Cam & Collin pics!

Cam & Collins photo shoot!

Today i was brave enough to take the boys to get their pictures taken all by myself. I have not had Collin's pictures professionally done since he has been born and i wish i would have done it sooner. Cameron did great and Collin was alittle more difficult but we got some great pics. If anyone has any requests of what picture they want, e-mail us or let us know so we can get those mailed off to everyone.

Priest Lake

Last week we went on our anuual trip to Priest Lake Idaho. I was a little hesitant about taking Collin because he is crawling and i was not about to let him crawl around in the dirt. The weathe didn't cooperate with the first couple days but it was beautiful the last two days of our trip. Collin was a happy camper and slept & ate great! I'm still not convinced that this whole camping thing can be called a vacation but all in all we had a good time.
Waiting for some dinner at the restaurant

Cameron met some kids playing beach volleyball and he had to jump in on the fun. He is not shy at all when is comes to meeting new kids

Playing with his new girlfriend Marisol. Ryan friends Jeremy came up with his girlfriend (marisol) and she was very good with Cameron and he even told her that he loved her.

Some of the happy campers

Hippie boy hangin out at the campsite
We brought Collin's swing and after days of rain and Collin being cooped up in his stroller i asked Ryan if there was a way to hang the swing. There were two trees and Ryan brought out some heavy duty rope (not sure what it is called) and he hung it up. Collin got alot of enjoyment out of it and it worked great!

The dogs! They are always entertainment for us when we go camping. Ruby is getting alittle older and the other dog would swim further to get the stick and Ruby would meet him half way. Good teamwork Ruby and Drake!

Papa Dusty came down on the last day of our trip and enjoyed some fun in the sun
I have not tried tubing in years but after a few drinks i became brave enough to go alone. I actually had a blast and i even got thrown off once.

Cameron was also brave and went tubing all by himself.

Collin was happy to be home and was a bit tired. He was even smart enough to get this pillow from under the table

Not so happy 4th!

Cameron had asked me all day when it would be time to lite fire works. Every hour i swear! When it finally came time to lite them off this is how he felt about them. He sat in the shop with the dogs. Then he went in side the house and fell asleep. Maybe next year i'll have to bring the head phones to drown out the noise.
The only fire work picture i got. We have a ton of left over fire works...i guess we will have them for next year.

Happy 4th!

This year we spent the 4th at Papa & Nana's. Collin was quite entertained by this bucket of water.
He also crawled around the grass and posed for mommy when i asked him to.

Cameron also had to get in on the photo shoot but he needs to work on his smile.

Collin is starting to go after his brother lately. I think we are going to have a bully on our hands!

But how can anyone resist me...i am so darn cute!

Legos & Tie Die

Our friends drove over from Seattle and brought us some home made tie die shirts! Collin seems to like his shirt
Ruby enjoyed hers as well.....

The happy tie die family...i think we might have a pic for x-mas cards!

Most importantly, Papa Dave sent cameron this lego motorcycle! It was pretty advanced so Ryan spent some time with Cameron helping him put it together. Cameron was focused the entire time and was very happy with the end product. Thanks Papa Dave!

Reason for the whining

Earlier this week Collin has just not been his happy self and he had a cough and runny nose. I thought it probably was just a cold and it would go away. He has been pretty whiney lately and i thought he was just frustrated and wanted his mommy. Yesterday he woke up and his voice sounded different so i decided to take him to the doctor. To my surprise he had an ear infection and this was why he was fussy. I was so glad i took him in because we are going campin next week and that would have been horrible to have an infant with an ear infection up camping. It is his first ear infection and he has been so lucky to not get one yet. We hope the antibiotics start kicking in and he becomes his happy self soon!
