Maine

So, after a very long day of travel, we finally made it yesterday. Despite their excitment the boys did great on our flights, even on the flight that we all got separated. Dan was at the front of the plane, the boys sat together in the middle and I was in the back. They didn't kill each other and traveled like the little pros they are. I read my book and didn't stress. Mom and Brenda picked us up in Portland and we made the 3 1/2 drive to Cherryfield. Seriously, the longest day ever, but it will be worth it. We are heading out to Pond Island tomorrow.


Jessica and Stephanie took us to see Charlie Brown today. It was the first time Owen had seen a live performance and he loved it. Dan and I were impressed with the theatrical talent Ellsworth had to offer. It was actually really good.

Summer Continues.........

I know it's been a while, but we've been busy. Ok, not exactly busy, spending way too much time at the pool is more honest. I figured endless pictures of us at the pool would be really boring so I just haven't posted anything. Bridget and I took the kids to Oceans of Fun which they loved. About half way through the day we asked ourselves why we thought this was a good idea, but we didn't lose anyone and nobody drowned so it was a successful day.


Happy Birthday again. Cole had his birthday party with his friends the weekend after. We always do that because everyone's always out of town on the holiday. I didn't really get any pictures. I was bombarded by a bunch of rowdy boys and didn't even think of it. I know Katie's cracking up right now because I'm normally never too busy to annoy people with the camera. Oh well, there's a first time for everything.

Cub Scout Day Camp was a lot of fun this year. It was very hot, but we survived. All of the boys had a really good time. We did a bunch of stuff, but I think the favorites were the trip to the marble factory, tour of the fire station and fishing.

Happy Birthday Cole!

So, he doesn't beleive that all of the fireworks are for his birthday anymore, but it's still a really fun day to have a birthday. It's always a big deal around here. He had a great time seeing everyone, doing fireworks and of course he loved all his presents. Thanks again to everyone who came.

I can't believe Cole is 9! I feel very old. Time goes by so quickly.

Around here nobody is too young to light fireworks. As long as you can walk and hold a match you're good. Kind of scary I know. Dallin had the greatest time. He stayed out there with Jon and Matt longer then any of the other kids. He is used to it being very loud whenever he comes over. He loved the dry ice bomb they did a while back. Anyway, last night he was not disappointed. It was very loud. He is too cute!

Cole says the funniest things!

Cole continues to crack us all up. As you can see, he still says the funniest things.
