The kids are so cute when they are at Avery's little kitchen.

This picture was taken during the fireworks on the fourth of July by someone else. We didn't know what Avery was doing during the shot until we got home. We got a good laugh out of this one.

Here is Easton and Kyle on the 4th.

When I looked at our thermostat and it said 98 degrees at 5 pm I knew it was hot in our house. Avery, Ripley, and I fought over the fan this afternoon while Easton napped in the cool basement.

One of my clients said I should send this to Parade magazine. The baby and the cat trying to keep cool.

She would climb in and out of this chair all day. She is so independant.

Here I waas crowding her space because I wanted in the fan too.

My little super model.

I just love this picture of her in Great Aunt Jan's chair.

We all needed to stay hydrated.

Easton beating the heat!

The only thing that get Avery out of the pool is snacks.

Easton lounging and Avery drinking from the sprinkler. This is a typlical pool day.

Easton can take pretend play a whole new direction in the pool.

Silly Avery in the pool.

This picture of the kids is so cute. They still play well together.

Avery loves the water. She would sit under the sprayer on the pool all day.

Here we are at the Day out with Thomas event. We all had a great time. It was funny because everything was familiar to Avery too.

Avery being silly with Daddy in the shade.

Easton proudly with Mavis.

We were so excited that the Thomas event had inflateables. Nothing on earth makes Easton happier. We have actually started to plan out weekends around which event has free inflatales for kids. He would go on them all day. His climbing skills are quite impressive.

Easton was so good that day, just a little sweetie.

I just love this photo from when Thomas started to leave the station.

The kids weren't so sure about Thomas's whistle.

Thae view from our train ride on Thomas was great. We went right over Snoqulamie Falls.

Avery wanted to get into everything at The Thomas event.

He is smiling, really.

Avery was excited to see train tables like at home too.

Here is the front yard a few weeks ago.

And here is a current picture of the back. I figured I could get on board with a few plants to take care of if I could eat them!

I just love this photo from the beach. 90+ degrees in Seattle, unbelieveable.

Avery is our little earth girl. Loves to be dirty. Mom's not too thrilled. :)

Too cute.

Avery wanted to go into the VERY cold water.

Avery loves digging at the beach in the backyard, anywhere.

We had a fun day at the beach this weekend. It's definitely summer.
