July–Where did it go?

Well, it’s officially over, July 2012!  What a whirlwind of activity we had this month…lots of family time at Uncle Peter & Aunt Jana’s wedding:

The ladies had fun at the bridal shower.        The boys all dressed up…

Beautiful!                                The cousins together again.
   
Could Nate be ready for grub?           What grub?

July already…

Well, since I am on holidays and have a few pictures amassed already, here is a sneak-peak into our July so far:

In our first week, we went to Sheridan Lake, B.C. where we stayed in a cabin…and thank goodness!  It rained 75% of the time we were there.  Still had fun with the extended family who came.

 

The boys enjoyed hanging out – especially the older two with their uncle – the fisherman!

We stayed at Loon Bay Resort and this was near where the family who had RVs stayed…and of course, there had to be the ponytail…

We headed home and then went to Mt. St. Helens the next day.  We did a hike on “eruption trail” and Nate slept for 2 hours! 

Caterpillars and beautiful flowers thrive just miles from the mountain

Camping was great with Amy’s sister’s family…

Nathaniel was introduced to Auntie Jill here…we love this pic.

June!

I’m all out of creative titles today – but here are some highlights for June:

       

Our little man is 5 months!  Hard to believe it, eh?

Our four older kids all participated in Amy’s Piano Recital at Meadow Green (a retirement facility in Lynden).  Well done!

The boys are continuing to train Nate to be their minion…hmmmm…

Both sets of grandparents continue to love our littlest – drooly and all.

 

I guess we have a few pictures of the other kids.  Here is Kaleigh with a special sandwich…Brendan with his construct-o-straws, Allison had many roles in the Little Mermaid Jr. and Ryan enjoyed laser tag for his birthday back in 2011…finally!

This family picture was taken at the end of  May…but got the whole gang in it.
