Summer!

Yikes! It's been a while since I've posted. We've been having lots of fun playing outside in the Oregon sun (yep, we do have sun here!)

On one of the first nice weekends, we went for a bike ride with Edgar over the Columbia River (I-205) Bridge. It was so fun cruising down the bridge!
We parked our car at a fun restaurant on the docks of the Columbia River in Portland where we met for lunch with Alex's parents.

It was a fun bike ride--but super exhausting for this newly pregnant mama! Yep, if you hadn't heard, we are having another baby!
The same day we went to our niece Marva's softball game. Edgar had fun playing in the dirt and getting lots of attention from "papa" and "gma ma"

Hooray for summer and corn on the cob! It was a hit at our house (=
Yum!
Okay, the next one doesn't have much to do with summer--but he sure is cute in his googoo goggles!
Summer = water fun out in the sun! Three wading pools + Three SAHMs + 5 kiddos = LOTS of FUN!
Our Chris Farley Baby discovers water balloons. Secret: if they throw the water balloons INTO the wading pool fun of water, they won't pop very often!

Happy Independence Day! Edgar and Jen are all ready to go to church!
Tired baby. This boy LOVED the fireworks and trap shooting (yep, on the 4th of July this family is a bunch of rednecks). Edgar insisted that everyone clap after each and every firework. "Bang! Bang!" He says. Finally, he just fell deeply asleep in my arms despite the LOUD show going on right in front of him. So sweet...
We love summer!
