Summertime Fun

I had to post all of the pictures in segments because blogger isn't cooperating with me. Anyway... we left for Bend on Friday. Aidan and I both had colds- I felt miserable. Truly miserable... thankfully it was a short virus. This first picture is from last week- a rare sibling moment.
We rented a bike, went swimming, did the spray park, play park, drove into Sisters, Rick golfed, more swimming...
The pics of the bike below- funny story... we are riding all over and Aidan started to get fussy so we pass this tractor and we want to divert his attention so Rick says "Aidan look at the tractor on Jessica's side." Then I say, "No, look at the tractor on Ashley's side." We both started busting a gut. It's like one of those families who just starts at the top of the list and starts naming kids until you get to the right one. Poor Abby.

Little mishap- lip meets concrete. Let's just say it

had to do with that invisible umbilical cord again

Are We There Yet?

I lost count of how many times Abby asked are we there yet on our way to Seattle. We went up to FINALLY see Jessica and Reilly and see their home. Here is what you can accomplish in the Emerald City in 24 hours actually it was more like 22 but who's counting.

Their dog- Madison. I love her. LOVE. HER. Look at that face. She's smiling. I think they should let us babysit. She can sleep in our bed but I might have to fight Abby for her. Abby loved it when Madison would chase her around the room.

She's laughing at a joke. Did I mention I love her?

Making pizzas with big sissy for Reilly to BBQ

Abby asked at least 4 times on the way home when can we
