Reading My New Birthday Books

Owen got 4 new Critter books, a monster truck, and a firetruck puzzle as an early Birthday gift. I swear i have the silliest boy ever because of all those things the books are his favorite. We have already read them all a few times. Thanks Fallon Family!

Sprague Family Camp Out

What a fun weekend. We had the annual camp out in Bend this year at Great Grandma's house. We hung out, visited, played games, made hand cranked ice cream, ate a ton, and played at Todd Lake. Can't wait till next year! We sure wish Grandma Deb and Grandpa Rob could have stayed longer. Owen and Claire were spoiled rotten with all the attention.........they LOVED it!

"I'm Not Scared Anymore Mom"

Owen used to be terrified of the lawn mower. Today he decided he would ride. Uncle Ricco took him around the yard for a couple spins. When he told him he had to get down because it was too noisy Owen got REAL mad. What a brave little boy. Nice socks Uncle Ricco!

Down By the River Side

With all this warm weather we are trying to be outside as much as possible before the rain comes. We headed to the Lewis River for a walk and to throw some rocks in the river! We also lost our camo hat. Owen threw it out of the stroller on the way back to the car. I asked him where his hat was and he pointed down the path.

El Gato "The Cat"

Owen and Claire LOVE this cat!!! We sure wish Brad did too!

Grandpa and Grandma Time

Grandpa and Grandma came over to watch us so Mommy and Daddy could go to Mark and Leslie's wedding. We had lots of fun.

Fair Time

The AnimalsThe Tractors
We made it to the fair. We had a blast! Owen loved the animals and most of all the tractors. They had a Claws, Paws, and Jaws exhibit were we got to see lions, tigers and sharks. We ate fair food and watched motocross too! Claire was in a daze and could not believe how much there was to see. Good family fun!!

Mr. Baker Man

Owen and I woke up this morning and decided to make zucchini bread. I talked him through how to pour in the ingredients, how to stir the batter, and most important................how to lick the bowl!

Truck'in

What a silly pair! Owen had so much fun pushing sister around. Claire would giggle and then that would make Owen giggle, then that would make Claire giggle.....it was soooooo cute.

Florence Camping Adventure

What a fun adventure. Grandpa drove down to Florence with us Friday morning because Brad ended up having to work. We all really missed him, but had fun telling stories about the "good old days" and you know Brad was a part of that!! Grandma came up Saturday night for dinner and to see all the babies. We played at the beach, enjoyed camp life, ate, drank (just a little), roasted smores, ate, told stories and did I mention ate! What a good time........thanks Sy and SHAUNNA for all your hard work planning and organizing this super fun trip! Can't wait till next year.
