Birthdays, Seaside, Washington, and friends

We celebrated Steve and mines birthdays at Seaside with my side of the family this year.  We had a lot of fun playing on the beach, going to the Astoria tower with everyone, having family dinners together, going swimming, and dad took the guys crabbing which Steve loved. We had a great time with everyone, but missed Leif and Rachel and there cute family!!

Since Steven didnt get his own baby brother he decided to steal Benson for his! He loved holding him.

Steven turns 8! Baptism Day!

Since we were going to be in Washington on Stevens actual birthday, he wanted to celebrate it here by  going to Leos place ( and pizza, play place) so we did.  We came home afterwards and had cup cakes and sang happy birthday.

Steven got baptised on his Birthday -Sunday July 28th at the stake center (the same building as Steve was baptised at) Aaron conducted and did a great job! It was a really special time and I was so proud of Steven.  He told me he felt the spirit and it made him feel good inside.  So cute! 

Boise Bound

We took a quick trip (Friday-Sunday) to Boise to visit friends and do some shopping!  While we were there we went to the Boise Mall, played at parks, let the kids pick one friend to play w/at a park and get ice cream, then went to our friends (Marcus whitworths) baptism, went swimming at the hotel and once the kids were asleep I went out with mt girl friends for food and catching up, we went to our old ward the next day and then headed home.

4th of July

 On the 4th of July Steve had to work, so we went to a parade with our neighbors, that basically the whole town goes to.  Steve said there was not one customer in his store during this time. Kinda funny.

30 weeks

I tried to be festive and make some treats.  We later had our neighbors over for a BBQ and lit off some fireworks and then watched the big ones, they set off down by the river, from our driveways.  It was a lot of fun!
