Lakehouse!!

First day at the lakehouse. We were excited and the weather was perfect!

The lake was at a record low and so swimming wasn't as much fun because the kids could feel all the yuck at the bottom of the lake. So there was lots of paddle boat riding, paddle boarding, and canoeing. 

Mac was having a super hard time with his behavior and it usually ended in a nap.

Oak was the only one who would go fishing. And she caught one.

This was the fun new floater.

Mac got to do the paddle board this year.

I even tried it although I was too chicken to do it standing up.

Another tantrum turned nap.

Uncle Z always brings something fun for the kids and this year he brought is air soft gun and let the kids do target practice. Mac loved it.

One day Mac's breathing got really labored. I was going to wait it out, but my SIL who is a nurse said that she thought we should take him in. Unfortuntely there was no Urgent care near us and we had to take him to the ER. We walked out of the ER four hours after we checked in. Doctor said he just had an upper respiratory infection and just treat the symptoms with benedryl. Not looking forward to that bill but glad it wasn't as serious as when he had similar symptoms in December. 

Oak loving on Benji.

My MIL finally retired as a school teacher. We celebrated while we were at the lakehouse.

Cousins taught Oak how to make friendship bracelets. She loved it!

Her hair was always so curly because of being in the water and the humidity there. 

Boys playing.

The water was so low they had fun treasure hunting in the mud.

And playing with the mud. The mud was crazy. I stepped in the wrong spot and I sunk down to my knees with one step. 

The weather was seriously perfect the whole time we were there. We enjoyed the perfect temps while the rest of Oregon was having a heat wave. 

One last otter pop before we left. 

Sunday...twenty-seven...

Sunday...twenty-six...

Church with cousins.

cousins, carpet, Crater Lake and waterfalls...

On the way home from the campout we stopped at my in-laws for the night. Because it was father's day. Cousins were down visiting for the day. So the kids had a blast playing. Oak and T drove around the house at least 20 times together. They had so much fun together. 

Mac loves this dog! We will eventually get a dog just like it. 

So we have a few fruit trees on our property. Look at that cute little pear. 

This is Oak's rocker pose.

One night Mac had taken a nap and wasn't tired, daddy was gone to a meeting and I was working on something and he wanted to be up so I said he could as long as he was reading a chapter book. 

Walked into this sweet sight one morning. This is my little family and I love them.

Trying to make lunch fun and keep them entertained so they didn't bother our friend who was putting in carpeting downstairs.

So our neighbor and friend from the town house we just moved from put in new carpeting for us. He did a great job. 

The kids trying out the carpet.

This was all vinyl flooring and it looks so much better and cozier with carpeting. It's a great space for my mom. She gets the whole downstairs which is a little office/craft room, a full bathroom, a bedroom and a great room. Perfect for her!

When we woke up at 6:30 the kids weren't in their beds. Found them here. so cute!

Because we moved near the lake. There is a nasty midgy problem. We accidentally left the window open (they can get through the screen) and the light on and our bathroom was full of bugs! Yuck! The next night we accidentally did that in our bedroom. Not my favorite.

Ready for donut day! Oak says, "I look like a DJ!" because her hat was on backwards.

My SIL Jess and her family was coming to Oregon from Utah for the 4th of July and they decided to come through our town and stop by to see our new house and to visit Crater Lake. 

With cousin C.

We drove around Crater Lake and stopped at Videa Falls. 

Hiking the waterfall.

Then we stopped to see the Ghost Ship or what ever it is called.

This girl loves to play in the dirt. 

When we got home it was so hot so we ate BLT's and then went outside. And found this beautiful sight.

While the kids were running through the sprinkler.

The the sky turned to this. My phone camera never does a good job at capturing the sunsets.

Oak climbing.

On our way to Eugene we stopped at Salt Creek Falls. We thought it would be this little dinky waterfall. It wasn't!

This is as close as we could get without one of the kids falling to their death. 

It was beautiful!

All wearing flip flops of course.

We stopped at the creek heading back to the car. It was nice and shallow and the kids got nice and wet.

Oak swung alot when we got to grandma's house. She said, "I could actually swing for my whole entire life."

Oak was playing on the floor in Grandma's living room and put her hand down and there was a yellow jacket and she got her very first sting. She said it felt like hitting her hand on a nail. I forgot my Lavender oil but we got some lavender from the yard and a Popsicle for her to hold.

Sunday...twenty-five...
