July 2010 - Week 2 + 3

I'm so behind on my blogging here.  Let's catch up.  Two weekend ago Quinn and I took a quick trip to Seattle to see some of my friends from college.  It was so great to catch up and to get to know Quinn better.  I feel like I haven't had time to get to know her yet!  She was a great traveler.  She did have one rough day but it was because one of her poor toes was bent backward in her sock all day.  Bad Mom.  It was so great to see my dear friends and there is no prettier place than Seattle on a nice day!  Naomi had some of my friends over for a fantastic luncheon, SO nice of her.

Lindsay and Chelsey meeting Quinn.  Lindsay is having a boy in September!
Quinn did great on the plane. 
Jolene making Quinn giggle.
Aaron just turned one, I'm not sure he was too happy about sharing all his old toys with Quinn!
Ella and Max checking out the lunch scene.
Having a little Snickers break in the yard.
I'm so mad I didn't get more photos of our trip.  I think it's because I was holding Quinn the whole time which was kind of a treat!


A couple days after we got home we headed North to McCall.  Dear Brooke took time off work to join me and the girls!  Thanks for the helping hands Brooke, you are a saint.  It was also Brookes birthday last week.  The girls 'decorated' the deck for our little party.  It was also our neighbor Freds birthday too!   I didn't get a shot of the HUGE chocolate cake I made.  I'm pretty sure I ate half of it myself.
Brooke took some great photos last week.  I stole a few, check them all out HERE.
We thought it would be a good idea to hit the town one evening.  The girls did okay but it was HOT and dirty in the bocce ball pit at Bistro 45.
Getting ready for bed.  I'm super proud of myself, they all go to bed at the same time!  It's the only way I stay sane.
Ahhhh, swimming with Dad.  Delaneys first time off the back of the boat into the lake.
She told us that the wet sand felt like diarehha.  Such a classy little gal.
Quinn trying to hide from her sisters.  Gotta keep the baby and the food out of the sun.
I just can't figure out what to do with this kid on the beach so we tried the stroller.
I have to thank all our friends for helping us with our kids.  It's SO hard to keep track of three of them.  The Kearneys joined us for the weekend!
A big feat for Delaney was touching Freds boat.  With a little help from big sister.
Once again Sarah comes to the rescue. Shouldn't I be in the water helping? Thanks Sarah.
Meredith decided to try out her new water skis. Gulp.


She made it up!
What an awesome Dad my girls have.  When Meredith fell Jesse flew off the back of the boat to the rescue.  It was very Baywatchesque.
After that Meredith was done with watersports for the weekend.
What I didn't get on film was Delaney tubing for the 1st time.  Now she is hooked!  She also likes to ride at the very front of the boat and yell for Jesse to go faster.  She is such a spitfire, I can feel my hair turning gray.
