So We Fell Off The Face Of The Earth For The Summer...

Well. Well. Well. Hey there blogosphere! It's been awhile, hasn't it? I've missed you. I'm not going to apologize for my absence though, nope. Instead, I'm going to revel in the fact that this has been our best summer yet. Yep, we took it in, Every. Single. Minute. Camping, BBQs, pool time, camping, visits from friends, picnics, cabin weekends, Bend festivals, camping, long nights in the Game Room, golfing, the County Fair, Seattle, camping, weddings... oh, and did I mention camping??? It was a pretty amazing couple of months, that's for shizzle. September was upon us before we knew it, and you know what that means? My Dad's birthday, Ava's birthday, our 8th anniversary, and... KINDERGARTEN!!!

So, my friends, I'm not going to apologize for my lack of posts the past few months, but I will give you a little peek of what we've been up to:

Cabin with the Birds clan. The next generation (minus baby Avery)


And, the past generations!










with my Dad's oldest friend in the world. Mac, and his wife Lynne.


We had a HOT day at the Deschutes County Fair.








Seattle kids reunion!


Eden's birthday party Max's new twinnies, Smith and Wyatt Miles was the Ring Bearer at Tyler and Jenaya's beautiful wedding.








We've become a wee bit obsessed with camping...In the Rooster that is. No, we didn't already step up to that amazing Airstream, but you can see the Rooster and Butterball in the reflection. Oh to dream!


Please don't call CPS. We bath our children, just not in the woods.
