I don't wear lipstick but guess who does...

That is Grandma getting her own make over Elizabeth style..
And here is the instigator of this new love of lipstick... trouble trouble.

Camping with friends

This is 55 miles from our house. Love the PNW. We spent the weekend camping with friends and quickly realized the amount of STUFF kids 'need'. I mean when you are in the middle of potty training the pot can not be a five minute walk away so along came the kiddos pot.
The river was a hit and once we ferried them across to the beach/wading area they were in heaven.

Caming is Exhausting

Family Fun

Laura calls it 'forced family fun'. The McGregor clan was out here for 7-11 days. The first two photos really summarize the trip. There was much joy and there was much exhaustion.


We spent most the week out on the Olympic Peninsula and everyone was hiking... well almost everyone.

Day with the Saxson Kids

Trying to keep up with a very energetic three year old boy makes Elizabeth exhausted which pleases us as she slept GREAT last night. Elliot and Charlotte can come over anytime!!
Jeff was the hit of the day with his own style of dancing. Amused all the kiddos!

Mrs. Hollywood plays sleep with Grandma

Elizabeth's two favorite games are sleep and cooking. Sleep involves having a blanket, a baby doll and a person lay down and 'sleep'. Please know there is no actual sleep but instead much up and down, up and down. Luckily enough the big person is allowed to stay laying. It is a nice break.

July 4th with friends

It was a very rainy fourth so our covered deck was much used. On our street there are 19 kids and for the fourth the street is closed for traffic and kids are basically free to roam, ride bikes and just be kids. There were tons of fireworks, a bonfire late in the night on the street and of course in the true American tradition smores.
