Today Summer is one year old. Happy Birthday, Baby!
The kids played "Limbo" with streamers for a stick. More like "Speed Limbo" since they were running. 
Brendan wrote a sweet card with some spelling help from Natalie. 
She wasn't quite sure what to do with the cake. But she figured it out pretty quickly.
The cake was a hit! Happy Birthday Summer Pie!

I hate snakes. Hate them hate them hate them. Normally, they inspire shivers up and down my spine, a racing heartbeat, and a "creepy-crawly" feeling for the rest of the day.
Yesterday I was out in the backyard when this big guy slithered by about 12 inches from my foot. I did not freak out, my heart did not race, I didn't even move. I calmly called the kids to come see and to bring the camera. I proudly showed Ezra this photo tonight thinking he would be amazed at my newfound reptile maturity. The only thing he said was, "Why didn't you catch it????"
I guess I'll pat myself on the back. Good job, me.
Brendan and Master Kim at Brendan's Tae Kwon Do rank advancement. I think Brendan's favorite part is the sparring where he gets to chase after one of the instructors to use his moves. I would hate to be on the receiving end of one of his attacks.
So Ezra, Natalie, and Brendan all took off on Thursday for a camping trip at Silver Falls near Salem, Oregon. The weather was hot, the place was packed, and they picked the perfect spot to go explore.
The pic above is just as we started the short hike down to the first two falls. an you see the trail right behind the water fall? Back in the 1930's the original owner of the land used to charge people $.10 to watch him push old cars off the falls into the pool/rocks below. Times have changed a bit.
