We are so proud of him:).

Go Dain go!!!


Yes he has 2 bikes and this is the first one he tried without the training wheels.

We decided after watching Dainton try to 4x4 in the back yard with his training wheels that Kristopher would take them off. Dainton got right on his bike and road away. We think the training wheels were holding him back because he rides way better now. Crazy! Just like that he grew into a boy. Time sure does fly.



Spiderman with his safety gear and hydration.




You can always count on a big smile from Coltin!












The Kings of Leon







One of the beautiful views from the gorge.









While we were camping Kristopher and I headed over to the Gorge for the "Kings of Leon" concert, it was fantastic!!



















The next day we went to the river for some water fun!























Windy windy fun!












The wind was to much for the boys so they played under the trailer instead.













Kristopher is protecting his grill from the wind.














We went camping in Vantage with my sister Heather and her boyfriend Jo. We had so much fun even with the 40 mile and hour winds:)!















Maybe next year we will get a bigger pool?



It's ball time!



Swimming...


Cheez!!




The next few pictures are of the boys in our swimming pool. They have had a blast this summer during the few warm days we have had and have even gotten desperate and gone in on a few overcast days too. they are little fishes.

Once again Coltin is on a quest to fit into a drawer. Funny guy!

These are the fireworks that almost blew our neighbors hand off and urned his hair a little.






Dain's first parachute man!



Now for some firework fun! Every year we stay home and do fireworks I realize why I like big professional pyrotechnics. The one we do at home could blow your fingers off.




















For the 4th we had the Neff's over and all the men made fire.








Boys, trucks and sand!








These are the moments we will for sure miss when they are all grown up.










Taking the Rattle Snake out for a test drive.











The camping trip just happened to coincide with Dain's 4th birthday. So on the morning of his birthday we surprised him with a new bike, The Rattle Snake!












We went camping at Bumping Lake in June with a group of about 27 people. We had a blast!! This was our second year doing this and I hope we continue this tradition for a long time to come. Coltin was really into taking nature walks alone. Here is him trying to hide behind the skinny trees.

The kids loved this little boat!

I think Jesse needs a bigger bike,LOL!

This is one of the outdoor fish tanks there are like a 10,000 fish in each tank.


While we were at my Uncle Carry's house we went to their local fish hatchery and fed the fish. This is looking into the big warehouse full of giant fish tanks.



Dainton constructed a 2 man space ship in Col's bed. They spent the better part of the morning in the space ship.




Chocolate playdo time!





Dainton is getting ready to help me recover the dining room chairs. This could be dangerous so best to be prepared for the worst while still in your underwear, LOL!






I guess he needed eye protection while he was sleeping. I am proud of him that he puts safety first!





We went to visit my Uncle Carry and Aunt Ilah and my aunt Charly let Coltin drive. He LOVED it and talked about it all weekend.
The boys road their bikes around the camp ground many times and wore themselves out.

Rich, Anita and Griffin came to visit us in the evening and it poured on us. Typical Seattle weather.

This is a very cool climbing tree we found on our hike.


We went on a couple hikes and Coltin and Dainton did great!



We stayed over night at Kanasket-Palmer State park. We love it here!




Here is Joe with his sweet hat!

Little Miss Hanna bug! So cute!

Kristen and Brooklyn enjoying some yummy barbecue!


Family birthday dinner. He had to use his new kitchen baking dishes!



Here Coltin is opening a new "Corduroy" book from Great grandpa and Grandma Neff. I remember this book from when I was little.




It's cake time lets get messy!





Amber and Mr. Caleb such a cute picture and I took it!


Jenni and Will at Coltin's party!




So once again a few months have passed since I have posted. The busy time of the year comes earlier every year. That just means we get to start having fun that much sooner! So the first set of pictures is of Coltin's birthday. Hard to believe he is already 2. He is such a fun loving little boy. He is also very smart and I think part of that is because he has a older brother to keep up with!
