We love summer!
Balloons Over Bend…(the best Bend festival of the year) We had one land right in our neighborhood.
Concert at the Les Schwab Amphitheater. We only lasted for the first set of the Misty River Band, but they at least thought the ice cream was good.
My mom and baby Peyton, born June 16th in Eugene. I have the cutest nieces ever!
US Track and Field Trials at Hayward Field in Eugene. We got to see Tyson Gay record the fastest ever time for the 100M dash in any conditions. Unfortunately the wind was a bit too strong, so it isn’t an official world record. Afterwards, Jamison had him sign his hat.
Jayden was a Mariner this summer and Jamison was a Red Sox.
Jamison, Justin & Logan- best buds.
They still love being at home.
Our Pet Parade participants… My brother-in-law Shane, Libby, Jim , Jayden & Jamison.
Speaking of cute nieces…here’s Libby.
We headed to Portland for cousin Carson’s 8th birthday party. On Friday, they swam, had s’mores by the fire pit and slept in a tent in the backyard. On Saturday we all went boating on the Willamette River. The boys called this the biggest tube ever.
We love our tradition of going to the Deschutes County Fair. This year was the first year we didn’t go on any little kid rides…they are growing up.
Jayden and Jim at the rodeo.
Big kid rides.
Whether it’s the lawn chair balloon man, or pregnant man (not a man), Bend has been in the national news lately. Mom and I got up early to see this for ourselves.
We’re kinda sad that it’s already August, but we have a lot of playing left to do.
Our two big vacations were our Shasta trip and family cub scout camp- that will have to be another blog.
There’s more to share, but for now I’d better go. Jim’s busy chasing a sage rat out of the garage. I hate rats.
Okay, There are SO many fun things you’ve done I could comment on them all. But since I’m tired and heading for bed, I’ll leave an abreviated comment and simply agree that you DO have the cutest neices EVER!…..Cate included
And your boys aren’t so bad themselves. They are just growing up too fast. I can remember when the baby rides at the fair were a little scary. Sigh. We’re oldies…..but goodies.

What a great summer you’ve had. I love seeing all your pictures. Hope the rest of the summer is jam packed with goodness too.
