Summer gone...so soon?

Don't you love our "boat hair"?

Gavin kneeboarding!

What a great summer we have had! It was truly the best. We never made it to all the places we had tenatively planned....water park, Enchanted Forest, beach, etc. We only managed to make it to the lake!:) Once we got our boat..we've all enjoyed it. We've brought, friends and family out, and done it alone many times now. I feel like an old pro!:) It has been serious family bonding time for all of us. Ian is now getting in the water, I suspect him and Gav will be kneeboarding alone by the end of next year. We just love it! The water is so relaxing, and we all spent the entire day as a family. I cherish this summer-it was the best. Maybe not the most exotic or adventurous...but serious family fun!

Cooper's HERE!!!

What an amazing day it was yesterday...as Reshma said "it's Cooper Day!" Thanks for being my pal yesterday Resh, had a great time with you! Also...I stole these pictures from her blog, I forgot my camera...but I used Ben and Heather's to take some of them later in the afternoon when they were alone with Baby. Anyway....details: 6 lbs 15 oz, 19 1/2 inches...and wide awake! Also..cuter than CUTE! Heather had a less eventful delivery this time around (thank GOD!) and they did beautifully. They did it all with such grace. Ben was amazing...he really stepped up...he hates hospitals, etc. and was such a supportive husband for Heather. Makes us all proud! Welcome to the family Cooper!!!! Lots of fun and excitement and suckers (if Nana has anything to say about it) coming your way! We love you!!!

Check this out!

I probably should explain... a little. Our dear friend Torri put this together, and sent it to us. Kevin, Vic, and Kevin have been at Camas together for all of 7 years, and the other 2 a few years more. This picture was taken at Torri's birthday party-redneck style (UFC included!) and these 3 need NO excuse to pose for the camera!:) Gotta Love Em'!!!!
