a waterslide birthday

We had a birthday streak for a while there. For Ya Ya’s birthday the girls and I went to Lake Chelan for a few days to celebrate! It ended up being two full fun days at the water park. We got to see  some friends there unexpectedly (that was fun). Kyla and Heidi both impressed me with their bravery. Molly snacked and napped by the Lazy River. She wasn’t her usual crazy water baby self (she was a little under the weather.)  A super fun time celebrating my mom.
I only took my camera out for about ten minutes of this vacation because most of our time was spent at the waterslides.

our weekend away

8.19 (136)
Time for our little summer family adventure. Remember THIS from last year? I think that was one of my most popular blog posts ever. So funny.

This year we went to Lake Wenatchee. We were given the use of a cabin close by so we decided to go there for the weekend. AND we took Molly…so that makes it even more of an adventure.

The weekend was filled with hours at the lake, camp fires, new card games for the girls, adventures and lots of good quality family time together.

Get ready for a million and one pictures.

The girls were little adventurers. I was really proud of them. Kyla climbed her way through rocks and trees and was on the move exploring the entire time.

Heidi wanted so badly to swim over to that island out there. She got the chance (twice) with dad (Kyla went once). They floated on air mattresses (and with life jackets) and went exploring in bare feet when they got there.

Both girls LOVED this rope at the cabin and came back filthy (feet and faces) every time.

Molly was her normal Molly self, doing her normal Molly things…

8.19 (90)…of course constant snacking.

…and being the good little baby sleeper that she is laying down and taking a nap at the beach.

We all enjoyed swimming in the cold water on the hot hot days we were there. We spent a lot of time in this little spot.

Heidi said her favorite part of the whole weekend was roasting marshmallows and a hotdog (after dinner- she said she just had to try it).

A super fun time with my girlies and my guy. We’ll see what’s in store for our camping future. I know having showers and beds doesn’t seem liking camping to some but Casey said it just right when he said “camping is a state of mind.” It’s true. This was my kind of camping.

Off to have a few last summer adventures before school begins and I have a 1st grader, Kindergartner, and my little Molly McGee!

A few wedding pics...

Yesterday was Loreen and Fernando's wedding. A very pretty day, followed my little girls dancing the night away. When your entire little family is in the wedding party you don't really have time to take pictures. Instead you are trying to coordinate naps, get everyone looking pretty and trying to keep everyone clean. :)  But here are the few that I got, none of us all together and none of all three of my girls together. Looking forward to seeing the professional photographer's pics of the entire day.

My sister-in-law is getting married tomorrow. So today was a day filled with wedding preparations- a bridesmaids lunch, manicures and pedicures, rehearsal, and rehearsal dinner. Here is a glimpse of today.

Go HERE to join the fun.
