The Company Picnic

Now that we are corporate working, two kids, SUV-driving, home owning adults, we did what grown-ups do...we went to The Company Picnic. Amazon put on a company event up in North Bend for all employees and their families. Complete with free t-shirts, kites for the kids, food (a great selection of BBQ foods, sides, and desserts), rock climbing wall, broom ball tournament, bouncy house, bouncy obstacle course, and bouncy sprinkler run for the kids, paddle boats, arts & crafts booths, pony rides, hayrides, motorcycle show, and an honest to goodness Cher impersonator. It just doesn't get any better. :) The boys had a blast flying kites and running through sprinklers, and Liam did the bumper paddle boats all by himself without a single meltdown! Caleb mostly just wanted to run through the sprinklers. It was a lot of fun, and we can't wait until next year's event!

Caleb's First Haircut

No need to panic, Halo-lovers. It was just the matted knot that had to go, not the curls. The knot he gets everyday from twisting his hair while he drinks from his sippy cup, or watches tv, or lays down for sleep. Cute kid.

I would have posted a picture of Caleb after the haircut, but with all that hair, and all that curl, it didn't look any different. :)

Get me To The Church...er...Temple...

This past weekend we drove to Idaho for Andrew's brother, Alexander's wedding. We drove to Boise on Thursday, spent the night there, then drove down to Twin Falls with Andrew's parents and our nephews (and our own children, of course) to stay the night there before the sealing Saturday morning in the Twin Falls LDS Temple. After the sealing and much chaos for the big group photo, we all headed over to the luncheon where there was wonderful food, and more chaos for more photos. :) Then AJ and Kristy were off and we headed back to Boise for the night. Andrew and the boys and I then drove home Sunday morning. Yep, it was a lot of driving. :)

All things considered, the boys were really good, and we had an enjoyable trip. But we don't plan to get in the car anytime soon. :) Wonderful to see family and to see Alexander so utterly happy! Congrats, AJ and Kristy!

We also took a trip out to the peninsula, and I will post on that soon...just trying to get one event blogged at a time. :)
