How many years does laughing add to your life....

A LOT!!-having a good laugh w/ her friend Micah

Slip-n-Slide

The slip-n-slide has become a summer staple-every weekend and even weekdays!

Garrett isn't quite into the slip -n-slide yet he just walks around it

Fun day at the beach of Lake Sammamish

We cooled off at Idlewood Park on Lake Sammamish July 3rd-Rachel ran up and down the beach and Garrett literally stayed in a 10 foot radius-it is amazing how different they are. But my day was made yesterday when Rachel told me Garrett was her best friend...to hear that made me feel so good!

Garrett hates hats but obviously doesn't mind headbands

What a couple of cuties

Crescent Bar

Long weekend at Crescent Bar w/ Grandma Marcy and Grandpa Jim and of course our cousins. We had a blast and some good eats too!

Rachel and her cousin Lucas

Weekend getaway

We hit Penrose State Park for an overnight camping trip....I think we might be campers!!

Our Garden

So we ventured out this year and plant a vegetable garden...the usual suspects-tomatoes, lettuce, squash, eggplant, carrots, corn, and potatoes. So far so good!

you can kind of see the garden flourishing in the background
