We've been pretty busy the last few months, so here is a quick catch-up:
The last days of kindergarten were filled with all kinds of events for both mom and Trevor...
We had a watermelon celebration, a field day, and of course, the graduation ceremony (didn't get any pictures but it was so cute).Next came Rachael's wedding. That filled up most of May and part of June. She was married on the 11th of June in the Portland Temple to Chad Kingston.
Rachael was a beautiful bride and Cambria was never far away, always watching and admiring.
We only had one major trauma, which was her dress, but luckily Mary (my sister in law) came to the rescue. The weather was pretty good for Oregon and the reception was lots of fun. The day after the wedding was Trevor's birthday and Charlie's (my brother) graduation from OSU. Congratulations Charlie!!!!
We had a big water party for Trevor and all the cousins and aunts and uncles who were here with a Transformer cake (my first attempt at cake creative-ness. Thanks Melissa)
After the wedding and party craziness we decided to have some family time and the following weekend, went camping. It was Ethan's first time and we were all in the tent together so sleep was hard to come by. After going to bed at 11pm everyone went to sleep in about an hour, except me and Ethan. I think I got about 2 hours of sleep that night but hey, we all had fun.
The next weekend we went crabbing down in Newport and stayed in a hotel. That was new and exciting for the kids, and we even caught some big crabs. Yum!
The Fourth of July was pretty low key with a few sparklers and a BBQ at the Doman's with lots of cousins. Trevor especially loved the pop-its (the ones you throw on the ground and they pop).
So now we are staying HOME so I can water my garden (yes we actually got a garden planted with lots of veggies. I'm so excited!) and Tyler can paint the house. Yippee!
And maybe I'll have a nap...just writing this is making me tired.

What fun summer activities!! Can't believe how big your kids are!! And when I saw that your little sister got married I almost choked on the crackers I was eating!!! How old was she our freshman year? I just remember her being young. Although, we did start BYU 14 years ago (WHAT?!) so I guess that gives someone time to grow up. :) She is really gorgeous.
You did a great job on that cake! And what a beautiful bride, I absolutely loved her dress. I'm amazed when I see how grown up Cambria is.. Jacob too.
I'm glad all is well.
The cake turned out great, good job. Glad you have had a fun filled and busy summer. It was good to see you for the little I got to.
