I think I'm getting over re-entry and am starting to accept my real life again. It was just so fun to visit mom and dad and have the Lambournes and Em around! It's hard to come to realization that it's just 'me and the kids' again. :) We had such a fun time. Our whole summer has been a blast between visits from Troy's siblings, going to Spokane and then Benicia. When the boys started griping about how bored they were other day, I made them make a list of all the stuff they did this summer, and told them that it was okay to be be bored sometimes. We sure fit a lot of stuff in between moving and school starting: waterfalls, visits from cousins, Portland, Chuck E Cheese, Spokane Indians games, movies, a baptism (followed by Old Country Buffet, always a family favorite!), swimming, candy store, dollar store, glass beach, Grandma Gublers, Fun House (reference to the aweseomly yummy and entertaining house that em & brett bbsat), rafting, Pixieland, Princess Garden, Peddlars Fair (I mean yard sales), boys campout, library, beach, Giants game, visit with old friends in Fall River, big slide park, John Muir Woods, ice cream, Audrey, Alex's, Cam's bday, Mariners game.... Yeah, I told them I don't feel sorry for them being bored. These pictures are out of order, and I have more to come.
The girls poses are hilarious!
Glass Beach
Giant's game
On the way down from Wa to Benicia, mom couldn't stand my dirty windows. She obviously took great pleasure in cleaning them!
Father/Son campout. I LOVE those! Me, mom and Audrey went out to dinner and to the dollar store.
Troy tasked the boys with cleaning the massive tank. Troy is going to be buried in this thing. I think that would be a nice resting place for him in about 50 years.
Homemade blackberry pie. Love fresh berries, picked by us!
Happy Birthday Alex!
Best Birthday gift ever. $2 D.I.

You guys did do a lot this summer! Looks like a blast. I love the picture of the boys cleaning the fish tank!
I can totally see Troy being buried in that! And so budget friendly, too!
Really...that picture with me in it at the glass beach- can we just refer to that as my fat picture and all agree to wipe it forever from the digital world?
You did have a very active summer!
We really enjoyed your visit. Dad and I had an empty house for the first time in almost 4 weeks Monday night after Emily and Brett left. We thought it was scary, it was so quiet! We miss everyone.
