Trip Up North - Day 1

Well, as usual I am finally getting around to posting from our trip up north to Aunt Leslie & Uncle Rick's house. Mom & I flew up on Tuesday, July 24th, which happened to be Honey's (aka Grandma) Birthday. We celebrated with a BBQ that included Honey, Papa, Aunt Leslie, Papa (Uncle) Rick, Steph, Gaige, Havi, Ellery, Shane & Erika. We (the kids) played on the swing set, in the sprinkler, and ping pong. We also rode the tractor & played with horses (all my size). Later that night we watched Honey open her presents & ate birthday cake. Honey & Papa left the next day to head home. They had been at a motor home rally in Oregon with Aunt Leslie & Uncle Rick. These pictures are from Tuesday.

The helicopter was so cool.

I still can't reach it.

Budding Photographer

Jake has always been very interested in our phone's and camera. They come in very handy when he needs a distraction while we finish up with whatever (shopping, dinner out, driving, etc.) it is we are doing. I have to say that he has become quite the photographer. Here is a sampling of Jake's Photos. Please note there were no touch-ups or cropping done to any of these pictures.

Car Wash

I know I have a lot of catching up to do and will get up to date as soon as I can. However, in the mean time check out Jake washing his car. The hose was leaking so he was getting soaked. Needless to say his shorts got really heavy. Check out the results below.

Watering the flowers, sort of.


I found Jake washing his car. His shorts were so wet they slid off him.

Caught ya!


Just realizing what happened?
