Hot Hot Hot in The PNW

Start Of Summer

Quincy finished out a great school year. He officially tested in for the TAG (talented and gifted) program and was able to make lots of new friends at school. He loves it!I can't believe we'll have a second grader on our hands soon enough! We also spent a good deal of time out in the new pool since the weather has been unusually hot for the PNW. Who couldn't love that? 

Our Idaho Trip

Trips to Idaho are always fun ones, especially in the summer where our boys can run and play outside to their hearts content. Grandma and Grandpa are notorious for giving the kids whatever they want, so the boys tend to be pretty happy about that. We were also lucky we were able to see Derek and Kim and the newest Howard niece, Addison. She is a doll and has many cousins who were all fascinated with her. 

We were also lucky to be able to get together with some of Tyler's best high school buddies and their families. It might have been pure chaos having 10 kids under the age of ten in one house, but surprisingly enough they all manged to get along the entire time we were there. 

Cousin Lovin'

We are lucky that Heather and the kids were able to stop by for a day on their way to Fruitland. The kids had SO much fun playing together. It's really nice to have some of the Howard family only a couple hours away from us. Since we got a new pool this summer the cousins made good use of it while they stayed with us. We need to have more Howard family get-togethers!
