Scout Minecraft First Aid Training

The local Boy Scout troops had a Minecraft first aid training event this weekend.  They needed a few Weeblos I and II cub scouts to be their "victims".  Trevor said yes as soon as he heard the word Minecraft.  When he arrived they gave him some head wounds and a broken collar bone. He then pretended to be a victim while the boy scouts administered first aid.  He had a great time and was excited he was able to participate.

First Day of School 2015- 4th and 1st grade

The boys started their 4th and 1st grade years today.  Trevor is in Miss Anderson's class and Cole is in Mrs. Carlson's class.  Both boys were super excited to see their friends today.  It was sprinkling while taking pictures but as soon as the bus rolled up to the school it started pouring.  While all the kids were soaked there was a lot of excitement and smiled.

Sadly Trevor is not in the same class as his best friend.  He did see him at recess which he was excited about.  

Playing in the creek

We went over to a friends house today for a play date.  Part of her "yard" includes a creek.  We hiked down and played for quite awhile.  The boys had a blast playing with their buddies Stone and Brody.

Summer 2015 Road Trip to Hermiston and Seaside

Grandma came up for our annual summer road trip.  She stayed with us for a couple of days and then we headed to Hermiston to see my brother and his family.  From there we went to Seaside for a quick beach trip.

While in Seattle we went to Snoqualmie Falls.  The boys wanted us to take pictures with every log they saw.  It was a fun morning.

 The boys loved seeing their cousins in Hermiston.  We went to a couple of parks, the swimming pool and of course, we had ice cream.

 Being silly at the park.

 On our way to Seaside we stopped at Multnomah Falls.

 Finally to the beach.  We were blessed with a couple of super beautiful days with very little wind.  We walked both the Seaside and Cannon Beach Beaches, went to the aquarium and explored the town.  It was a quick but fun trip.

 Found some silly mirrors.

 Can't go to the beach without burying our brother.

Thanks Grandma for taking us on a fun road trip.

Minion Movie

Trevor's orthodontist had their annual movie day for their clients.  They took us all to the minion movie.  They gave out t-shirts with minions wearing braces, paper goggles, soda, popcorn and lots of prizes.  Trevor saw one of his school friends there so was super excited to sit by him during the movie. What a fun event.

Soccer Camp 2015

This past week Cole went to soccer camp at the high school.  The high school boys and girls soccer teams taught the camp.  Cole had a blast and is super excited for soccer to start in August.

Canning Kitty

After picking raspberries, I decided to try my hand at canning raspberry jam.  I didn't get very far before Charlie took over the canning pot.  It was his perfect little spot for quite awhile.

Bring your kid to work day 2015

July 1st was bring you kid to work day at Microsoft.  The boys got their own "work" badges to wear during the event.  There were bounce houses, games, petting zoo and lots of other activities.  We even did a dine in movie.

Mud Factor 2015

The boys did the Mud Factor run today.  It has several climbing and mud obstacles as well as a giant slip and slide.  They had a blast and asked to do it again next year.
