Camping in McCall

We just got back from a big road trip.  We went to Boise and visited with Great Grandma and Grandpa.  Chloe was so happy to see them.  G Gpa even danced with her!  I wish I'd had my camera.  We went camping over the weekend with Lorri and Ronnie and mom and dad.  It was a lot of fun.  We picked tons of huckleberries and took a swim in the creek.  Chloe absolutely loved camping.  Then we headed back and had a pool party at the Poole's house.  It was so great to see everyone and show off the kiddos.  Lisa even got Quin to laugh for the first time!

We Have Smiles!

Quin has really started to smile a lot the last few days.  it just melts your heart.  Here are a couple of good one's I caught.

Chloe's New Bed

Chloe has been in a "big girl bed' for a couple of months now.  But, Grandpa Dan just made her a new bed to put the mattress in.  It is absolutely beautiful!  Here is a pic of her enjoying her new bed!

Eeeeeeew... She Eats Octopus!

Like Pooh Bear Does It

Chloe has been boycotting veggies at all costs lately.  She was watching Winnie the Pooh today, so it gave me an idea. 

"I eat my peas with honey, I've done it all my life.  It makes the peas taste funny, but it keeps them on my knife."

The 4th of July and Such

The 4th of July was lots of fun for us all.  We sent Chloe to bed at 9:00 and Jake couldn't stand it, he had to go and wake her up to come join the fun.  She loved it.  She watched the fireworks in awe and even got to do a sparkler. 

We spent the night at the coast in a hotel.  It was Quin's first trip out.  Both kids did well.  Chloe was excited to stay on the floor in a sleeping bag with her best friend Pooh Bear.   We had a lot of fun playing in the sand and Bela had fun digging Bela sized holes.

Lindy visited last week.  We loved hanging out with her.  Here is Lindy and Quin.  Chloe loves Lindy.  They even made a "birthday

 cake" together even though it wasn't anyone's 

real birthday.  Lindy brought Chloe a

 hula girl outfit.  

Chloe's little friend Elliott visited and they had fun swimming and playing.
