Camas Days

Camas Days is a busy weekend for us, the kids are usually in the parade Friday , we go to the bug parade as a family on Saturday and then Dustin plays softball all weekend in the Camas Days Men's Softball tournament. This year was a little different the kids were gone during the beginning of the week so we didn't get a chance to work on the parade stuff so a bunch a girls from work all got together and went downtown and watched the parade instead. It was so much fun to get together outside of work and let our kids play. Dustin's 1st softball game was Friday night which was over in 43 minutes,record timing i think but they won!! Saturday we got to go to the parade and see the different floats and animals then the rest of the day was softball. My friend and co-worker Megan helped me serve beer down at the beer garden which was so much fun. Great for people watching and meeting friends you see once a year,lol!  Sunday was followed by more softball. The boys did great and ended up getting 4th which was awesome considering their competition.

LMG Annual Campout

This past weekend we headed up to Lake Mayfield for my works annual campout. Besides the Thunder and lightending and rain on friday we had a blast. I feel so blessed to work for such great people who really do care aboout their employees and their families. We are one big FAMILY! Next week we will celebrate 9 years serving the Camas- Washougal Communities.

We started the celebration early by attending the Bucks annual BBQ on the 3rd. The kids played hard and then enjoyed the fireworks. Dustin had to work on the in the morning so I took the kids and headed to The Lamberts Farm as the kids call it.  They have a parade and carnival  at the fire station. Our friends have 3 mini horses which the kids got to ride in the parade. Preslie wasn't a fan of the animals so she and Lane rode in the wagon. After the parade the kids played a few carnival games and then we headed home to see Daddy. We had a little family BBQ and then watched the fireworks from the Port and headed to bed since we had to work the next day. Happy 4th and Happy Anniversary to the Lamberts!

Super hero obsession

The last couple of weeks all Preslie has wanted to wear is Parker's super hero clothing. She even found his batman/superman cape Aunt Tori made for him.  Hopefully this is just a phase and we will be back to Tutus and dresses in no time. Did I mention she doesn't like to wear pants around the house either. As soon as she gets home shes in her undies.

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to all the wonderful men in our lives. This year we kept it low key and went to Red Lobster on Saturday night to celebrate fathers day. Sunday the kids and I went and got doughnuts and chocolate milk then went to visit Grandpa Kevin. We went for an afternoon bike ride the relaxed for the rest of the day. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful husband who is the best dad a child could ask for. I love you and am proud to call you my babies daddy!

Teddy Bear

Preslie found my teddy bear from when I was little that my mom had given to me to get her 2 year old pictures with. She hated it at the time but has grown to love it.

The Other Child

I was reading through the last couple post on our blog and realized that everything has been about Parker lately. As most of you know she's very shy and not really into much yet but she still is very much apart of the family. She is talking non-stop (only around the people she knows), she loves Justin Bieber, Dolls, Shoes, Popsicles, Dustin's old cell phone which she uses to call JB on his cell while he's on his way to his concerts ( her words not mine) She is growing like a weed, a no longer has a binkie!!! She hates to wear jeans and dresses and doesn't like me to do her hair. She is a very strong young lady and knows what she wants, let's just say I'm not worried about her at all. She still doesn't like her picture taken much but here's a couple that I managed to get of her over the last couple of months

She's been watching alot of baseball lately so has begun to love the game herself
She looks like Chrissy from Three's Company in this picture

She loves to dig in the sand and dirt

She is like her Aunt Tori and likes to organize things and "Loves" shoes
