The last week of June...

A few days after school was out, Olivia and I headed up to Mount Vernon to visit and take care of the cousins for a couple of days while Anne and Bryan went to a conference in Spokane.  It was exhausting and gave me a whole new respect for what my sister does everyday, but we had a lot of help from Grandma Emily and we had a great time. 

We brought Olivia's fun, new tunnel from Gymboree with us to play in...






Friday we headed over to the Joneses to play and finally celebrate Father's Day with Grandpa Jim...






I love watching these two play together.  Olivia is one tough girl and definitely holds her own, and Charlie is really good with her...



Auntie Anne bought this cool balloon rocket launcher for the kids to play with while her and Bryan were gone.  They got plenty of use out of it beginning Sunday morning before they left...


Olivia loves playing with her cousins.  This time, she only got to watch them for a while...



Not even one year old and Olivia is already learning to do chores.  Her favorite one?  Unloading the dishwasher...













Olivia's first time in a big bath and her cousins couldn't wait to join in too...


Tuesday we took a trip to the park.  Grandpa Jim joined us and helped Charlie join Emily in the "Rapunzel" tower...





Charlie always cracks me up.  He is such a little man in a little boys body...


Wednesday we celebrated Charlie's 2nd birthday a little early.  Uncle Mike and I took the kids to the park for a while so Grandma Emily and Anne could finish setting up the party...









I didn't get any pictures of Charlie's party other than Olivia eating watermelon for the first time...



One last wrestling match Thursday before we had to head back home.  Daddy sure did miss us since we were gone a whole week!
