The girls each made their own brand. They are pretty sure "theirs" tastes better...even though all jars came from the same batch.
Lauryn and her yummy final product. Nummy!

We LOVE Lincoln City!!
Here is Papa keeping Lauryn company as she hangs out near the toilet with an upset tummy.
The girls are doing the annual "picture on a log".
Lauryn bought a two-handle kite and had a blast with it.
Oohh..look how far Blake got his kite off the ground. ;)
Jen taking a stroll along the shore.
Jen and Lauryn enjoying the hot tub on our deck.
The past two years Lauryn has blown a glass float. She gets to choose her colors and work through the whole process. This year my dad told jokingly said she was the state glass blowing champ and some people thought he was serious. They sat and watched her in awe. It was pretty funny!
We woke up one morning to this "RV for Rent" stuck in the sand on the beach below us. It was pretty comical watching them try to get it out. I wonder if he got his damage deposit back?
It's a good thing Blake convinced me it was a great idea to take the pickup instead of the Tahoe. We tend to do a little...okay a lot...of shopping at the outlet mall. It may have been a cozy ride home.
Jen lYves, lYves, lYves, her new "do" (and so do I)! Yesterday she asked if I thought she should cut it short, followed by "it doesn't really matter because I'm cutting it...I just want to know what you think". I always let the girls make their own hair decisions since they take care of it.
This is a perfect summer cut for Jen. She can still do fun stuff with it but it will be nice and cool.
My parents came out and we all sat around "the plant". Lauryn prepared a cute speech, cut the strawberry into 8 (very small) pieces to share, and we ate strawberry fruit bars. It was a pretty quick little ceremony but oh-so-special.
The first strawberry. Isn't it a beauty?
Jen is such a trooper. She isn't in love with the whole experience so far(like she thought) but she doesn't complain.
Months ago, it was rumored that Taylor Swift was coming to Yakima. I quickly added her concert tour page to my favorites...waiting for the day that the ticket sale date would change from "Coming Soon". Well one day I was shocked to go on and find that Yakima was replaced with Nampa, ID. I was just as excited as the girls and I was determined to take them to see her. I ended up getting tickets for the Spokane concert!!
Taylor came back out for an amazing finale! It was a very energetic ending. The "rain" had to feel sooo good because she worked her tail off.
Jen was tickled to get rid of the twin size bed and move up to the Queen!
