You might say that Jaydie thoroughly enjoys his slushes. 
Well yes this IS part of a Darth Vader helmet and an afro. How did you know?
It's official, Yenner drinks pickle juice. Pretty soon he'll be pouring garlic salt into his hand and licking it up, just like I did as a youngster.
This is our new baby Chase!! Isn't he so cute? But don't tell the Gardners, kay? We're still planning our escape with him. Does anyone have a crib we could borrow?
Met Grandma and Grandpa in Ventura. It's super nice there.
Went to Will Rogers with our Newport buddies. It's nice there too, although the sand almost burned our feet off...almost.
Can you see the sweet sentiment Bethani is giving us behind Yenner?
Went to see tide pools but saw a dead sea lion and threw rocks instead. Isn't that just the same?
I am totally crunching (it's what all the cool kids are saying nowadays) on this photo of Daddy and Nonie!! LOVE it!!
Went to the beach and it was a might foggy and chilly. Didn't stop my boys though.
I'm not sure, but do you think Nolie had to go potty here? There are one million lovely walking trails where they live.
Doesn't everyone have the ocean in their backyard? That's totally normal right?
Cutest family ever award.
Daddy learned how to fish on his iphone and quickly taught the boys. Ahhh, just like the fishermen of yesteryear. So much fun I tell you.
Jaydie was an instant pro, of course, at casting the line. He had tons of fun with it.
Nana baked with the boys which happens to be one of their love languages; go figure. They had such fun with this.
Truly, there is not one single bad place or time of day to take a picture in Oregon. There is always greenery or a river or a large body of water in your background and it's always overcast. So much fun!!
Here are the middle name twins...Edward. I think they have a special bond because of that. Did I mention how much fun we had up in Oregon? Thanks Nana and Papa for everything!!
...you get to pet a 1000 lb pig and then it gets up and you say "okay boys, come out of the pen" fairly forcefully. 
...you say things like "please don't shoot your brothers with that gun."
...you also say things like, "try not to get electrocuted by the fence boys. It would not be fun for you."
....and lastly, you take a nature walk only to find later that the bottom of your pant leg and shoes are covered in deer poo. That's when you know you're in Oregon off a private road. 
Chasers Wasers rooting for his favorite team. Isn't he a baby doll??
I've always known this, but Zachy is much tidier than my kids and this set of pics proves that.
I think Nolie thoroughly enjoyed his cupcake.
Nolie, just like his hat, barely hung on till the end of the season. He really could take it or leave it. Whereas Yenner put his all even into his stride.
It occurred to me that I had not posted these of their last game and they were too cute not to post. I did however forget to take pics of Jaydie's last game. I know, he'll be scarred for life. But I included this picture of him pondering stuff just for you.
This was just before they got thrown off I think. Those are Yenner's feet flailing about.
So thankful for our Daddy!!
A little action shot for ya. Do your kids get giddy in hotels like mine do?
Nolie and Jaydie have the boat afro going on here. Yenner's hair is short enough for him to be immune to it.
Sorry for posting this twice. The delete button was not my friend this evening.
For Father's Day we got to go to Laughlin and play on the boat for a couple days. It was a hoot!!
Summer is passing by a wee bit too fast for my liking. How do I slow it down? We're having loads of fun though with friends, cousins, and popsicles. I see a lake trip, an Oregon trip, a beach trip and whatever else I want to do in my future.
