4th of July at The O's

Oh I do LOVE Hoodsport!!! Every 4th of July we drive out to my in-law's little piece of heaven on the Hood Canal and spend the days and nights having a blast with our friends and family whom we miss so much of the time. It's a highlight of our summer every year and here are some pics... enjoy!

Digging for clams

Quyen found a baby crab and Olivia thought that was pretty cool!

Raw Oysters = Nasty!

My niece Sydnee is a little crazy if you ask me ;o) Tavian checking out the view Olivia & Maya playing in Grammy & Granddad's pond Olivia just chillin... Each year they host a huge party, invite lots of friends, we eat great food and enjoy a drink or ten! It's always a blast! This year they hired a band and they were great... the kids loved dancing and we loved watching them.

A little air guitar lol! Cousins! Olivia & Granddad performing a little number for us Tavian saying "wassup girl?" to Kennedy ;o) Peeps... Angela, Sean, Lennaea, Quyen, Tavian, Bryan & Jon FIREWORKS!! And of course we have to spend some time up at Lake Cushman! Our good friends Jim & Sandy live just a short drive into the mountains on a gorgeous lake. I just love it up there! It wasn't particularly nice weather this year but we still had a lovely time. Uncle Sean & Sara attacking Tavian! Tavian playing soccer with the boys. Happy Birthday Granddad! Tav getting some snuggle time with Grammy.Until next time...

I FINALLY get to hug Robyn!

Robyn and I met in a myspace "mom's group" when Olivia & Isannah were just months old. Who would've ever thought you could connect with a complete stranger over the internet? Okay well I guess that happens a lot these days but not to me. But here we are almost 3 years and 2 baby boys later and Robyn is one of my closest and dearest friends! Our family left Houston and flew to Denver to meet The Riggins' over memorial day weekend. We spent the day at The Denver Zoo and ALL had a blast! We can't wait for them to come visit us next summer!
