These days it seems like most of our pictures are taken on our cell phones and are either stuck on them forever or posted on Instagram... Here are a few of my favorite Instagram pics from over the summer! Basically our summer in a nutshell :)

We had an awesome long weekend in Bend full of family, friends and lots of fun!  We had not been to Bend too much in the summer and LOVED it!  Lots of golf for Ryan, time at the pool, a date night, a trip to Bachelor and Lava Land, so much fun stuff to do!!!

his Leapster.  We had a couple good storms while we were there!

Lots of football in the yard!

New favorite beer!

Jason and Victoria came to spend a day with us so we
headed up to Bachelor for some fun!

Misc Summer Fun

Here are a few random pictures of some of the other fun things we did over the summer!

Playing by Jenne Lake in our neighborhood -
a sure thing to wipe those guys out before
quiet time or maybe even a nap if I'm lucky!!

My sleeping Booga!

Golfing with Daddy!

Noah and his best buddy Aiden!

Cozy Coupe Carwash -
Silas insisted on washing his inside the garage
because that is where they wash the golf carts
at the golf course...

Tree to Tree Adventure Park!!!!!

I love this picture!

And what happened next...

Lots of sidewalk chalk!
We let them color anything but the house with the chalk and then
they used spray bottles to clean it all up, hours of entertainment!!!

They made these Mario and Luigi  hats at Ethan's science
party and wore them almost every day all summer long!

We even broke down and had a slip n' slide for one day!  Now I know
why my dad would never let us have one on our yard growing up...

Cupcakes and s'mores by the fire at Nonnie & Papa's!
