What We've Been Up To Lately...


This is just a cute picture of my girls up near my dad's house. They had a great time frolicking in this field of daisies...what girl doesn't love a field of flowers?

When Sam was born, Mark's parents came to help out. The next few pictures are of the Wilson clan bowling (a tradition anytime we're together). Above is Ella....my girls LOVE to bowl!

Here is Mark helping our newest bowler get the ball to the lane.

Olivia looks on while Grandpa picks his weapon of choice!

Olivia decided she wanted to try her hand at cheerleading and this is her at the competition they held at the completion of the program. She was the smallest on the squad and so she go to be the top of the stunt they did. It was really cute and she proved to be a very enthusiastic and cute cheerleader!


We went on a family hike a few weeks ago around Tiger Mountain. Mark is training to hike Mt. Rainier in August and, while a short hike with the kids wasn't necessarily great training, he is a little obsessed with hiking at the moment. We are excited that the kids like to hike and spend time in the outdoors.

The girls thought this tree was pretty cool...they thought it would make a great fort.

My sister Wendy came to visit with her kids, and we decided to take a trip to the zoo. Here is me, my sister, Wendy, and my sister-in-law, Julie with our three boys (although you can't really see Sam in his stroller). These are all of our first boys. Wendy has 4 girls and then a boy, I have 3 girls and then a boy, and Dylan is Julie's first baby and boy. It was fun to have 3 boy cousins this year...a big switch from all the girls Wendy and I are used to.

Here is Sam in his stroller at the zoo...isn't he soooooooo cute?

Most recently, we have been having summer fun! This is a picture of our family at the pool. The kids have been loving hanging out at the pool and taking swimming lessons. Olivia is also doing tennis lessons. We have quite a few visitors. My friend Kim came out a couple weeks ago (I neglected to snap any pictures). We had a fun time playing on our new waterslide in the backyard (again, I need to get some pictures of this new toy). Also, my friend Lizzy took the above picture. She and her family came and stayed with us this past weekend. We had a really great time hanging out. We love having visitors!

I'm so impressed you're already out and about doing so many things. Looks like you're having a fun summer. The girls say they want to see pictures of the water slide. It sounds like you're up for visitors, we need to come see little Sam!
