Blackberries

So a couple weeks ago we had gone to pick Blackberries at Marissa's parents house and Miles had screamed the whole time and it started to rain so we knew we needed to go back again and pick more when Miles was feeling better. So we did. Miles was much happier this time and loved picking and eating the berries no matter what color they were!

 Miles thought it was hilarious when he saw his reflection in the truck bumper. He made all sorts of faces.

 

Charlie still wasn't a big fan of picking blackberries...too prickly for him! So he hit things with a stick!

I'm glad we went again to replenish our supply!

Green Grandma turns 90

This month has been packed with back-to-back adventures. We finally have a day to catch our breaths and not even leave the house if we don't want to so I thought I would try to get some of our summer adventures on our blog! We celebrated My Green Grandma's 90th birthday at Cook Park at the beginning of the month. It was so fun to spend time with cousins that I usually only see once a year. 

There were tons of fun games for the kids.

We found out that my cousin Kelsi and her husband were recently chosen to adopt this beautiful little Isaac. It was quite the surprise and we are so excited for her family. So here is grandma with her newest Great Grand baby!

And incidentally, Everett and Miles were both wearing their batman shirts so...a cousin photo was  must!

Bat Cousins!

We enjoyed the BBQ and spending time with Green Grandma.

Family Photos 2015

As part of Anna and Buck's trip to Oregon, we had them take our family photos, we totally lucked out with the sunset on the beach, and of course Anna took amazing photos as always! Also, a great big shout out should go to Buck who is the reason my kids are laughing and smiling in the photos, he went all out to make them smile all while holding his little one who was getting grumpy because it was past bed time.

Of course we started with these crazy ones, we can't really help ourselves. This is usually what happens when we get into big open spaces!

Before the kids got too tired and grumpy we decided to get some nice formal ones.

Charlie is growling at Buck in all these photos. Fun memory!

And the boys just hammed it up. Kinda got lucky on that one!

This is a favorite (which I can say about a lot of these) but this is totally an everyday moment but captured in a beautiful location. I think this is a great demonstration of brotherhood. 

 

HAM! He gets that from Max!

He even posed himself!

Another one that I feel captured our family pretty well!

And then we passed off our baby boy to Buck who then was holding two whiny 1 year-olds and we got ourselves a romantic photo shoot. I love these photos so much!

Thanks again goes to Anna for these amazing photos, I think these are some of the best yet out of all the photo shoots she has done for us. And if you are desperately wanting her to do your photos now, I completely understand!
