A good excuse to watch a video...

We had some freak rain storm while out camping, so I decided that it wouldn't hurt to turn on a Baby Einstein video for the kiddos to watch while we let the weather pass. They were quite content and happy, who knew camping in the rain could be fun?!

Camping - kids style

Camping at the Gorge marked the 4th time this summer that we've camped with the kids. Pretty good considering Kadence is only 6 months! She's proven to be a pretty good camper. Of course Aden is a pro and enjoys sleeping in a tent! Darin and I used to camp a lot when we first started dating, so it's nice to see that we can still do it and enjoy it with our kids. Looking forward to lots of camping each year!

DMB 2009

Another year has passed - we once again made our trek to the Gorge to see my beloved DMB. Camping with friends, crazy weather, a little surfin' and 2 nights of shows. This is the first and probably last year of taking both kids to the shows. They did awesome, although it's a little tough on us not having a break from carrying heavy load. We were on row 15 both nights (Fri & Sun nights) - with 2 kids!!! Kadence slept through the entire concert both nights. Aden enjoyed listening to his favorite songs and was just in awe of seeing Dave and the guys up close. We tried to get him to stay up for most of the night, but with no nap during the day due to the hectic schedule, he just can't last and fell asleep halfway through the show both nights. A few other concert goers asked to take pictures of us with the kids, and we got lots of comments about how great we were to take our kids with us to the shows. They can't believe that this is Aden's 4th year going to the shows, been to 8 concerts and he's only 3!! I'm sure others thought we were crazy also. Oh well, to each their own!

Little Miss

She's growing way too fast right before our eyes. Seems like I blinked and here she is...6 months old and on the go. Time flies way too fast!
