We had a wonderful summer! It started out with Grandpa and Grandma spontaneously buying a new big house. We were busy helping them move in at the beginning of July and helping them get settled. We had a nice, quiet 4th of July and were able to spend lots of time swimming in the new pool. Also, we loved getting to pick blueberries as usual!
Mackayla got her ears pierced! Jared had been trying to talk her into it for awhile and she finally decided she wanted to do it. She was nervous, but very brave!
Derek's and Danielle's family made the long drive across the country and spent a couple weeks in Yakima. We had a great time with them and the kids really loved their time with cousins! We had family pictures taken at the new house.
Mackayla loved making banana bread for us by herself. Yummy!
It didn't take us long to get use to the pool life. We spent the summer playing like crazy. The kids swam like little fish!
Mackayla got her own strawberry plant this year and loved taking care of it and enjoying the berries.
Jacob lost his first tooth!
A few pictures are out of order but the kids all loved doing perler beads all summer in G&G's laundry room.
The summer Olympics were on this summer and the kids had fun doing all their own races of the different strokes in the pool.
I finally got a new phone and am now able to take pictures whenever I want. This lovely picture of Jared is one of my first ones.
This is how we spent our time during the last few weeks of Jared getting the house finished for the tour. Just sitting on buckets, watching a movie in an unfinished house. He's been spending about 16 hours a day between job sites and then comes home to spend a couple of hours at his desk. We've spent the last two evening there with him just so that we could see him.
You gotta love the "bring your own container" day at 7-11
