Updates in pictures

Well I don't know why I didn't touch my blog for almost 2 months. It wasn't on purpose, it's just been a wild summer. This has been by far, the best summer we've ever had. I remember summers that were just plain boring, filled with naps and schedules and no car and babies. This summer the kids and I just got to enjoy each other. They are at such a fun age, not so much hands on care from me and so much independence for them. Once again we spent the majority of our days at Jefferson Park. I do have some pictures from there that I'm working on. Here we are at Owen Beach.

4th of July with the Olson's - always such a treat!

The only pictures I took at the cabin over the 4th of July weekend. I've got to get better at that!

The Pirate Party

Anxiously waiting for fellow pirates to arrive. Booty Cupcakes
Walk the Plank
Pirates Cove in all its glory. Notice the pinata contraption in the back.
Oops sideways ... treasure and decore for treasure box craft

All you need to become a pirate. Tattoo, hats, hoop earrings, necklaces, eyepatches and rings
The birthday kids

Some party guests ... I meant to take a picture of everyone, but somehow got distracted and missed several. Here's the first pirates to walk in the door.
