Cutest Ballerina on Earth

Kenley is taking a little ballet class at the rec center this summer. Oh my goodness. Cutest thing ever.

Waterfalls and Rhubarb Leaves :)

For our Girls Adventure, Andrea, Brianne, and I went on a hike to a waterfall. It was fun to get out and see something I hadn't seen before, and the 1-mile hike was perfect.

I know some sad things have probably happened to make this sign necessary, but I had to laugh at it anyway.

 Max loved our hike!

 The gorge

 The falls

Aaaaaaand..... on a totally unrelated, random note, here are some giant rhubarb leaves from our yard.

4th of July, Part 2

On Monday we went to Gary & Mary's cabin for a family party. It was so fun to see my cousins who were in town for the long weekend!

So Kenley went tubing. It seriously gave me a heart attack. Luckily Kelsey kept her on the tube and there weren't any traumatic throws, but my heart didn't go back to beating regularly for at least 15 minutes. Kenley wasn't scared at all though!

It was another beautiful day and we went home that night happy, exhausted, and well-fed!

4th of July weekend, Part 1

The first awesome part of the weekend was that my sister and her husband came up and surprised me!!!! I was so excited to see her. Then, we were lucky to have BEAUTIFUL weather all weekend! We had a Sibs weekend up at the lake, which was really fun to spend some time together relaxing and having fun. Then Dad and Joanie came up and spent part of Sunday with us.

Out on the raft....

 

 Making s'mores

 This is Kenley's newest "pose" that she thinks is really cute. There goes the modeling career she wanted.

 Hanging out with Joanie in the paddleboat

 Playing Minute to Win It

 (well, most of us)

 Happy Fourth of July!

A few more days of fun

 The first day Scott and Brianne were here we went up to a nearby mountain that overlooks the city. It was a beautiful day, but boy was it windy way up there! The babies weren't thrilled.

 Kenley finished up her soccer season and got a bobble-head trophy. (Is that what they get these days? What happened to the fake gold guy kicking a ball?)

And Claire continued to get bigger and older each day.

We were able to take a nice walk along the coast with my dad and Joanie.

 Then we went out to lunch, and after Brianne got Max to sleep they just set him down on the bench. If that's not a chill baby, I don't know what is!
