July Photos

This was one of the warmest Julys we could remember.  Here are some fun photos from the month caught with picture:

Oliver, Ruby and Julia enjoying homemade popsicles 

Purple mustaches 

Ruby at another all comers meet running the 100 yard dash in a skirt

Oliver and Hayden at golf camp but taking some time to watch Russell Wilson film a commercial


Giving Russell Wilson a high five at the end of the day


Here we are practicing for Oliver's Bday experiments in our safety glasses

Ruby and Mallory enjoying the ball pit

Mommy and Oliver taking a selfie to text over to dad as he's traveling

Oliver has really gotten into Baseball and the stats of the game.  Here he took the complete 1991 Fleer set of cards, sorted into teams, and found the player on each team with the most career home runs.  He knows all the Mariners and many of their home run totals for the season.

Oliver and Ruby clapping away at the 4th of July parade.

Smoke bombs at Nicole and Tanner's house

Having fun!

Are you ready for this pop-it?

Making mad silly faces

Happy silly faces

I thought we were doing sleeping silly faces, but Ruby looks sweet!

Sparklers at home

After golf camp - grammy took Hayden, Oliver, and Ruby to Burgermaster...Hayden's new favorite

Baseball Slip and Slide

Hit the blow up ball, run to first, and slide!

Go Hayden Go

It's hot out!



What a cutie

Oliver and Ruby spending some time in the garage building and painting.  Here they are making a robot out of extra boxes


Bobby Jackson sent us some sweet hammocks and the kids have been having fun using them in the back yard

Can't wait to take these out camping in a couple weeks.

The showroom of True North is coming together nicely.  

Panoramic view...

Nathan and Ben were in town from Paris and Oliver and Nathan went to a Mariners game

After the game, they chilled out by watching a movie

Oh and more hammock time with the boys from France

Crystal Mountain

Crystal Mountain is where we love to ski, but it's also an amazing place in the summer.  The other special thing about this trip is we now have a room up at Crystal in the TTSki Club for all year use...a lot of fun memories to be had as a family up there!

Oliver and Kelly playing some frisbee golf

Ruby getting her hike on

A pic in front of Mt Rainier...too bad the clouds photo bombed the mountain

Checking out an alpine lake on the hike

Ruby having fun on the gondola

Best family selfie ever!!!


Here is the inside shared living space of the TTSC - kitchen, dinning room, and living room area


Oh and the game room is pretty fun


Fun bridge across the river
