M.I.A.

i knew it had been a while but i didn't realize how long it had really been. we've been busy lately with both travis and i working at the office (temporarily for me) and still trying to keep on top of things at home and with the boys. plus, we are still waiting for summer to really get here. so, not much to blog about here! but my camera still seems to be full of pictures that i need to put on here so here you go. oh, and i promise as my life gets a little less busy (and i can actually fold all the laundry in my laundry room) i will post more!


calvin got a "new" bike from his cousin jared. he loves it! i don't think a day goes by where we're not riding it.


whenever the weather's nice we're outside.


two little boys in love with a truck.
after most of my soccer games calvin and miles fight over who gets to wear my shin guards. they just want to be cool like me, basically.


saturday we actually got and enjoyed summer-like weather. so, we headed downtown to the rose festival. apparently it's an annual tradition that lasts a couple weeks (?) and ended on saturday with a big parade, some carnival type rides, and some boat races. we had a fun, fun day and the boys loved it.



this is as close as calvin got to the downtown fountain. he said there were too many people so that's why he didn't go any further.



this dog is quickly becoming a replacement for his bop. clifford comes with us in the car most days and has even eaten a few meals with us, too. and there's no way calvin's going to bed without him.


and i hear miles. that means i'm done!

Thank you!! I love that truck picture and miles is huge! Cal too... Miles reminds me of Calvin when we got to be best friends everyday. Yay rose festival! Thanks for being a good representative of Portland.

Good, you're alive!
a. I didn't know you were on a soccer team. I should have known. You're an all-star. Awesome.
b. I didn't know you worked at Travis' office. I bet that's a nice change.
c. Rose Festival looks really fun. I'm a fan of all things festive.
d. The boys are so grown up and look like they are loving the summer weather.
e. Miss you!

I can't believe he can ride such a big bike! I need Calvin to come and teach Ashlin how to ride a two wheeler. Although she is pretty into her "barbie" scooter right now. Little boys and Little girls are so different! Thanks for posting!

It's my itouch. Don't hate me... It just automatically changes it for me. I'm still the same old uneducated Kristen you love. Also known as: lazy.

That truck picture is the best. Just when I thought I couldn't chuckle anymore, I'd scroll back to it, and start laughing again. So funny!
