June 2007

Jesses cousin Dan McMeekan got married in Spkane this weekend. The reception was at the Davenport House, where Jesse and I got married 4 years ago! It was fun to see lots of relatives from all over, and to revisit the site of our wedding. Meredith sported her cute polka dot dress for the ceremony but had to change when it got a bit chilly...
Back yard at the Davenport House.

The Hamiltons!











The Fosters!


Those wedding bubbles finally serve a purpose, the kids love em'.

The Hamiltons and Fosters. We are sad to see them leave Boise, they will be missed!

Aunt Kortney taking Meredith for a walk.
Watermelon meltdown around 8:30pm.

Dan learned some fancy new moves for his bride.

Meredith busting a move on the dance floor.

Kirsten showing Meredith how to properly wear a large hat and perhaps sharing her wine.
We had a lovely time on Friday at Cousin Dans rehearsal dinner. Uncle Chris and Dan were busy manning the grills. MMMM.
Kortney and Chris.
Meredith liked the windchimes.
No one can seem to get a decent picture of me?!

Kathie has four sisters and one brother. Here they are with their respective grandchildren!







We have had a wonderful time in Spokane. Here are some things that Meredith loves to do on vacation:
Water the grass and the flowers.


Eat rootbeer floats.
Eat whipped cream.

Check out the fountain in downtown Spokane.
Go down the slide on the big wagon!
Dip our toes into the water!
Play at the park
Listen to Grandpa Jim's headset.






Happy Fathers Day Dad!


I will return home to Boise 68 lbs heavier. My mom spoils us with fabulous food at every meal!

Meredith and I are in Spokane for 9 days. We traveled up to attend Scotts graduation and cousin Dans wedding. We will get to see lots of family and hit Nordstroms! Meredith likes to cuddle when she wakes up from naps. Grandpas shoulder makes a nice resting place.
Meredith found her old bouncer seat and thinks it's the best thing ever. Good thing she still fits!









We were so excited to see Aunt B and Aunt Carolyn this weekend in Spokane. Aunt B gave Meredith her first cowboy hat and her adorable matching outfit! Thanks Aunt B!

Every cowgirl needs her grub.









Meredith and Uncle Scott had a nice visit on Fathers Day.
Look, Grandma puts the raspberries on my fingers!
Meredith is addicted to raspberries. She'll eat a whole carton in one sitting.










On Saturday June 16th, 2007 my little brother Scott graduated from Eastern Washington University with a degree in graphic design (anyone need a graphic designer?). It's been a long road and we are so proud of him!

Mom and Dad with the graduate. There were a LOT of happy parents in attendance!
A really horrible picture of me and Scott.
My view for 3 hours. I have a whole new respect for those who have to sit through UW graduations. Sorry Mom and Dad! Now I know why Jesse left early...











We had our first visit to the "Nat" tonight. Meredith only wanted to be in the big pool, and for some reason she digs goggles.
Ryder and Morgan should sleep well tonight, they ran around the whole time!
I conveniently did not wear my suit so Jesse had to do all the swimming. Meredith likes to go right in up to her neck, she has no fear!

I think it's funny how Meredith liks to squat and drink at the same time.












Sorry Sarah, it had to be done. Happy 30th!













We welcomed June by visiting McCall with the Mark Family. We were happy to leave the 100+ temps in Boise and head north. It was so fun to see Meredith, Jacob (3) and Sofia (18 mo) play together all weekend. Meredith has all sorts of new tricks after playing with the big kids!
View from the living room window. Looks like a good day to hit the beach!
Entertaining the troops.
Meredith likes to poke belly buttons and tickle people. She laughs when she does it, I don't think she gets that the ticklee should be the one laughing.














This kid needs a hair cut. I'm just not sure what to do with it!


































The boys worked on the deck a bit. Jacob was a big help with the drill.

Meredith was not much of a help!
Sofia loving Ruby.

















Sofia and Meredith loving their watermellon!

Playing in the sun tent on the deck.
Meredith is still getting used to hugs.

















Hanging out out on the beach.

Meredith gets really excited when she sees the boat in the water.



















She also likes to try and pull her wagon around - a bit big!




















The highlight of the weekend - John Mayer in concert. Thanks for driving Sara! Jeremy is the only person I know who could get a knife pulled on him at a JM concert.
