There are no words. LOL

And then he set about teaching his sister.

Ok, so this year I got the most epic birthday present. It all started the night before when Nicky was going to bed. Apparently he decided that Sam needed to go to the store to buy me a present. Over the next 15 minutes he came out of his room three times to remind Sam “don’t forget the bacon!” I was sure bacon was a code word.

But no, first thing the next morning, Nick ran to the fridge and then brought me my present in bed. I unwrapped it and it turned out to be? Bacon, you guessed it. Apparently he had wanted to make me smiling pancakes for my birthday breakfast. What a sweet boy!

Nothing beats Clearlake on the 4th. So much fun to see Roger, Michelle and Todd! And did I mention fishing in our skivvies? Hee, hee.

Is there anything better than playing hide and seek in the redwoods? Just when I thought they were getting so big, they go and stand next to one of these giant trees. Turns out they’re still teeny.

Oh yeah, and Kate surprised me on our Montana trip by reading the “HOT” knob on the sink. She looked down and out of the blue said “h-o-t, hot!” WHAT???? She still doesn’t even know all her letters but she’s stringing them together. I spent the rest of the trip making her do party tricks. Proud mama. 🙂

The other main event was great grandma Dot’s birthday! 4G in one pic…what a treat! Happy birthday grandma!! xoxo

One of the main events for our Montana trip…cousin Joey’s wedding! Congrats Joe and Savannah! 🙂

Kate spent most of the reception playing Elsa with her long “cape”. Cousin Henry was not interested in being Hans, so he was Elsa’s pet dinosaur.

Kate loved seeing the princess (aka, the bride) and was so excited when Savannah tossed her bouquet to the kids. I told Kate that she was going to catch the princess’ flowers, which she apparently took to mean that she could just stand in place and the flowers would come to her. The look on the poor girl’s face when she realized that someone else caught the flowers broke my heart! Luckily, the sweet boy who caught the flowers came over and gave Kate the bouquet when she wouldn’t stop crying. She cherished those flowers the rest of the trip!

Kate and I went to Montana this summer…oh so fun!

My little boy is all grown up! I can’t believe how much he’s matured this year. I’m so proud of my little guy. On to even bigger and better things! Next stop…kindergarten!
