The Puppies

We went to visit the puppies today, 3 days old and took over 80 pictures! they're just so cute! and so tiny! all around 1 pound!!
Here are some pics we had to share!!!

Big News from Camden & Samson (and Happy 4th!)

Camden lost his FIRST tooth!
It was such an exciting moment and one he'd been working at for months!!
and last night...the tooth fairy came! Camden was sure that the tooth fairy was going to bring him a dollar bill!
The tooth fairy was wise...not wanting to disappoint, delivered a fresh, crisp one dollar bill. (not quite the quarter I got when I was a kid!) good thing the tooth fairy keeps up with the inflation!

and that's not all the big news that happened on July 5th!!

Samson became the proud papa of 9 adorable puppies!! 2 black labs, 2 chocolate labs and 5 yellow labs!! We will visit them Sunday for the first time. We're fairly certain we'll be taking a puppy home in 8 weeks! what cuties!

So July 5th was quite the exciting day around here!

Our 4th of July was a lot of fun too.
the VERY warm day started with a squirt gun fight between Camden, Hudson & Aunt Jenny...all in their rain boots!


We spent the morning at a parade and the evening with friends. It was a great, fun-filled, exhausting day! I think the boys are still tired from all of the activity! but well worth it all!



HAPPY 4th OF JULY!

First Camping trip of 2007

We had a GREAT time camping this weekend!
we went to Icicle Creek which is in Leavenworth, WA.
The weather was perfect... no warmer than 80 with just enough wind to keep the majority of the bugs away!

We went with our friends Megan, David & Lindsey.

We camped right on the river which was FAST!!...and Matt was able to fish right where we were camping (didn't catch any thing though :(

We all enjoyed smores, hiking along the river, enjoying the gorgeous views, eating camping food...we had pancakes for breakfast one morning and found a fly in the batter...while it was frying on the pan! i thought about sneaking it on someones plate...just kidding! it went straight to the garbage can! :)

Although we already knew that Hudson was an amazing climber (probably where the nickname "Monkey" comes from) it was so much fun to see him climb and manuever himself on all of the rocks!

Camden had a blast riding his bike! we had about a 1/2 mile loop that was paved around the campground that we went on several times and our campsite actually had a small dirt trail that Camden mountain biked on several times all by himself! he loved it! in fact, Camden even rode in his pajamas, first thing in the morning!

We can't wait until the next time we get to go camping (probably in August)
