more camping.

we are taking full advantages of our weekends this summer. packing in as much as possible! we've been  camping a few more times since our adventure in Tuchannon. most recently we went to Banks Lakes near the Grande Coulee Dam. our friends had a boat, so we did all the camping stuff in between boat rides on the lake! it was a great time. our camper is getting some good use!! and it's getting easier and easier every time to load up and go. i hope that the girls have lots of fond memories of us camping together. callie is still little, but as we make family traditions... i just hope that inbetween the craziness of life that our kids remember all the fun that we had as a family too. it's alot of work for us grown ups to make things happen sometimes..but i'm seeing more and more how important it is that we DO those things, and create lasting memories and traditions!

ps i am so thankful to be where we are. to have a huge group of people that i love, and that love us and our kids. to have such good friends and neighbors. to be doing such exciting things in life. growing babies. dreaming of houses. raising amazing little girls. working on marriages. watching kitties play. picking raspberries. playing and swimming. i feel so blessed. looking back a year.. and reflecting where we were, and to see where we are now.. it's amazing. time heals so many wounds. leaping into a plan that you have faith God has for you and your family... i just feel very blessed and humbled to be here.
