It seriously wouldn't be summer without making some strawberry jam....sooooooo yummy!!!

Seattle

My family decided to take a road trip to Seattle a couple weekends ago to see a Mainers game....it was a quick one day trip but it was packed FULL of FUN! We visited....

Pike's St...

The Warf...

The Gum wall....

So Gross right?.......

Saw lots of street singers, this was my personal fav!......

The space needle.....

and of course Safeco Field for the game.....

What a day you can probably tell in this picture we were ready to head home.....whew!

Sydney's first ponytail....

Sydney finally has a patch of hair on top that I could get a little ponytail pulled up on top. It's so stinking cute.....I LOVE GIRLS!!!

Storytime!

My sister and I decided to load up the kids in the strollers and walk down to storytime.....WHAT A HIT! Kloee LOVED it! She sat so good and listened along with the boys ....this girls loves books, it makes me so happy, I hope that I can keep that love burning!!1

Sydney also loved just hanging in the stroller!!

Rock Climbing...

This was Darren's first time rock climbing on REAL rocks. My family has been going to this set of rocks for years and it was fun to finally get Darren there. He did great! We had a blast it was just a quick half Day adventure and I was so glad to get the chance to get out, its been way to long....

This is his first run up...

Tradition stands that when you get to the top you have to kiss the chains and when you get to the bottom of your very first run you get "chalked" right in the middle of the forehead....and yes I got a picture!

This is a picture from down below at the car this is just a section of all the rocks....Such a pretty place...too much fun!

Pre-Fathers Day!

Well looking through the pictures for Fathers day these are all I found, the week leading up to Fathers Day was pure craziness around here. I had extra kids EVERYDAY which was both fun and exhausting. To keep everyone busy I helped them all make Fathers day gifts which proved to be a bigger task then expected, we made magnets out of clay, aprons for gillin' and Mikah made a trophy for his dad....I dont think I got pictures of anything finished as well but at least here is pictures for proof that it is what I was up to....

Mikah was so excited that we actually let him spray paint all by himself too!!! Too fun!

After the kids went home each night I spent my evenings working on a pop tab tie for my Dad, and secretly finding Darren's favorite board game from when he was younger. On top of that my mom was in charge of making the Fathers dad gifts for church and so was her sister so we made around 300 tie book markers that all came with a poem tie tack (that was home made) and a JUMBO cookie, and of course amongst all this Darren and I refinished a dresser for the girls room (pictures to come), and being the overachiever that I am signed up to help with a funeral. 

The point is I totally missed taking any pictures of the actual day because I spread myself WAY TO THIN and was completely exhausted that day. But at least the men in my life felt loved and appreciated right?? Phew...sigh....still makes me tired thinking about it.

On another note, I want to Thank my AMAZING dad, for being THE best Dad a girl could ask for and Darren for becoming the best Dad I could ever have dreamed about being the Father of my little babies! LOVE YOU BOTH!
