First two weeks of August

I finally got all the pictures downloaded of the first two weeks of our August. It has been a very busy and fun two weeks. We started with our annual family reunion we have every August. This year we went to the coast. We borrowed David"s brothers boat and spent three days at the lake.

I love this picture of Noah. He is such a cutie!

And for some reason I have lots of pictures of Jonathan drinking his capri suns!


Here the kids are on the boat ready for riding the inner tube.


David loved playing on the boat and driving on the lake whipping the kids around in the wake!


Chad taking a little rest from all the activity. (Can you see the boat in the background?)


Reagan getting a little sun. I can't believe she was only a week old here!

Our little guy snacking away again.


We headed for the beach to roast hot dogs in the sand. What would a cookout be without a little sand thrown in!


David cooking hot dogs on these stupid things we have had for years and never used. Now we know why we never use them and promptly threw them away after this night!
Hayden and Autumn enjoying roasted hot dogs. We had smores also - those were so good. You also might be wondering why we are all bundled up in August at the beach - well you know the Oregon coast:)


Reagan snuggling with Toshia.


Andrew and Adrien flying a kite. They had the coolest kite!

Saturday morning we had a surprise baby shower with all the sisters and Grandma Weitzel at a cute little restaurant. This picture is so darling - Grandma with youngest grandchild and new great granddaughter!


Chelsea brought Duke down to the lake for a little fun!

After everybody went home the girls and I stayed for the rest of the week so I invited some friends down for a couple of days to share the place with us. All the kids had a great time on the beach.

The girls had a mini makeover late at night. They were gorgeous!

This last weekend Ashleigh graduated from Pacific University. We are so proud of her and all her hard work!
She has been in school for so long - and it was so fun to celebrate with her! We love you!

I couldn't resist adding this picture - our future graduate!


So much going on so much still to do - August is definitely the busiest month for all of us here. We leave for California in a couple of days and when I post again I will have all the updates from that part of our vacation! The sad part is when all this fun is over we start right in with school. - Now that will be a new chapter of life for me!
