Goodbye June, Hello July!

Towards the end of June we went to Fort Casey with Mark's family...




I'm scared, are you?

It's been lovely outside - so much so that we dusted off the kiddy pool and filled it up.

 The past couple of days we have seen nothing but beautiful blue skies. Although the hot rays are browning our lawn, we don't care, the vitamin D seeping into our pores feels too good.

You are beautiful to me.

"Mom, I don't need a brother, I have Parker."

July 3rd - At the Skiles' for a BBQ. Grace LOVES her buddy Camille.

July 4th - In the morning we went to the Sedro Woolley Parade. The highlight: Seeing our little girl walk in the parade with her buddy Camille. They went to a cheer clinic together and had a great time!

We did it!!!

Waiting for Gracie after the parade was Kaylin - A.K.A. Gracie's B.F.F.

The girls hamming it up. The men apparently under a chainsaw carving trance.

At the Logging exhibition.

After the parade and logging exhibition we went back to our house for a BBQ and smoke bombs.
The girls watching intently as the boys light firecrackers.


The girls after the firecrackers went off.

Killing some time on a beautiful day.

My entire world. 

In the evening we went to the Sedro Woolley Carnival.
She's quite the handful.

A sincere thank you to all of the men and women who have sacrificed on our behalf. I thank God that I was born into such a privaledged nation and I am grateful that so many of my brothers and sisters serve as protectors of this blessed land.
HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!!
