As Promised...

Here are the pics from our super fun weekend:

Today we were at the Hermiston Family Aquatic Center with a couple hundred awesome people from our church

that splash below the diving board is Caleb. I wasn't ready to take the pic in time. I thought for sure he'd have to go to the end and contemplate the jump. I stand corrected. Our 4 year old swims in the deep end and jumps off the diving board with the big kids...sigh.

And yesterday we were...

HERE:

with these super rad people:

AND 65,000 other crazies

watching THEM!

Seattle Sounders vs. Chelsea FC

The game was unreal, the atmosphere out of this world, the company and convo were fantastic. Thanks for the good times Johnny & Julie. We will definitely be going back over to Seattle to watch another Sounders game soon.

and we had these handsome guys happily awaiting our return:

it doesn't get much better than that!

Weekly Recap

We have been having fun and staying busy. This past week found us doing:

Red Robin for David's Birthday and an impromptu sleepover at our house with the boys before they flew back to California!

Random pics with my guys...check out Drays keepin' his eye on Caleb :)

Caleb attempted to "trim up" his new hair cut...

Cuddles with Brother

when we told Drays it was time to go to his bed, he laid his head down and tried to convince us he could sleep in Caleb's room

Caleb's been going to RHS soccer camp this week (officially campers are supposed to be 6, but Caleb talked Coach Dovalle into letting him come...I'm sure by being his very humble self and telling him how amazing his soccer skills are ;). Check out the gigantic "slip n slide" they get to do on Thursdays and Fridays! That little speck coming down the slide is Caleb!

• Caleb also started VBS (vacation bible school) last week on Wednesday nights and LOVES it.
• My soccer girls won the Bomber Classic tourney last weekend (in 100+ degree weather...it was brutal). But they played awesome and we are so excited and looking forward to the season.
• Drayson has added dribbling a soccer ball to his repertoire

A couple things on our TO DO list this weekend:

• Chip & I are going to the Sounders v. Chelsea soccer game in Seattle on Saturday and we couldn't be more stoked!
• Going to the Hermiston Aquatic Center on Sunday afternoon

Stay tuned: more pics to come after our FUNtastic weekend! Have fun everyone.

This Is What We Were Up To Last Week

To celebrate the Fourth we went with a huge group up to our family cabin in Mazama, WA (think almost to Canada...5 hr car drive...but whose counting?) It was a lot of fun, but also a lot of work (mostly for the Moms, we all know Dads get to have all the fun :) Here are some--Ok, maybe I should rephrase that....Here are a TON of pictures from the trip.

This is the lake that we hiked 2.2 miles to see (caleb hiked the whole thing be himself!)

Now this is the Life!

Our sleeping quarters, spying on Drays after his nap (yes, he napped while camping...he is amazing!)

Caleb lounging with Uncle TravCaleb rode the dirt bike all by himself for the first time this weekend

The Guion Fam
"The Dads" packing the babies

Trav & I at the river, just before we braved the icy cold water

We bathed (it didn't seem to help)
Caleb showing off his "guns"...whose kid is this anyways??

Who wouldn't want to play baseball to a backdrop like this?

Caleb on the hike posing by a "his size" waterfall ;)

Caleb thought it was so cool to make a snowball during the summer!
Nonni and Drays (why yes, that is ICE in the background floating on the lake...but he screamed when we took him out...crazy kid!)
Chip finally coaxed a fish out of hibernation :)

Crazy Kid still playing in the cold water of the Methow River (poor Nonni ended up getting in with him)

Drayser and Papa KevO just checking things out
Caleb showing off the fish he and Daddy caught

And we bathed some more (still didn't help)

Roasting mallows for Smores
Drays sporting the "headlamp"
THE END!

wait, one last thing. Caleb has been begging for me to shave his head "bald." So last night I finally gave in and gave Chip and Caleb summer haircuts. Notice that it is not "bald" but Caleb still thinks it is!! Too funny.

Drayson's Birthday Celebration Con't...

Sorry for the delay, but "life has been happening." And I also happened to drop my Sony Cybershot digital camera and break it, so I have been using Chip's Kodak from his classroom....oh Sony Cybershot, how I loved thee... I have decided to make a run of it with the Kodak though, because I am hoping to save up for "the big girl" camera that I have been dreaming of for the past several months.

Drays is one lucky guy! His birthday celebration continued with cupcakes (courtesy of Aunt Kass) at Grandma Janes and a visit with cousins Daniel & David who are in town from Cali.

And the specially "planned by caleb" picnic and trip to the sprinkler park.

He wasn't quite sure at first if he like it or not, but kept going back.

And since I last updated....Drayson has started to walk...yup, full on walking. He is into everything. He is curious and naughty. He yells when he doesn't get what he wants...and let me tell you...this boy knows what he WANTS! He eats practically everything in sight. Drinks real milk. Goes to the potty chair (OK, totally kidding, just wanted to see if you were still paying attention!) He surprises me everyday with the things he knows. He is such a delight (most of the time). Hah.
