Chrissie's bridal shower in Eau Claire in June. Poopa and his basketball girls took care of Max, Maddie, Cameron and Brooke. Terry and I got to have a lovely evening kid-free at the shower.
The girls opting not to swim, but throw things in instead.
Max pushing Cameron on the horse swing. Cameron threw up the next day after doing this for too long. Poor baby.
Brooke got some new Ariel jammies from Aunt Terry. The girls are "matchy matchy!" now.
We spent the 4th of July at the cabin. They had such a great time. They had all the grandparent's attention. Tim and I got to relax a bit.
Say CHEESE Brookers!!! In their 4th of July gear.
It was heavily misting one morning, but that did not stop Cameron. She and Tim went for a walk and searched for that mysterious bass...
Sparklers. I was quite proud of her for holding it as she is usually a little chicken when it comes to things like this.
A few generations of sparkler holders.
Snuggle time with Poopa.
CHINDA!!! That means to feed the fish. According to Cameron.
Timbo taking Cambo for a kayak ride. She loved it.
Brookie watching dad/cameron kayaking.
She decided it looked fun so she went for ride too. She also loved it. I was surprised b/c she doesn't often like new things where she doesn't have control. She did great.
CHEESE Brookers!
Playing with Poopa. The girls loved being at the cabin and having so much attention. They were wonderful. We even went to the beach down the lane and swam there too.
This was how Brooke looked most of the car ride home.
Cameron and her best friend, Boti. You know it was a fun trip when the girls pass out before Hwy 8 and stay that way until we get home! 
This is Brooke in Time-Out. She refuses to sorry when she repeated hits one of us. She will sit here for 20 minutes. I ask her every few minutes if she'll say sorry and quivers her lip and says, "no."
Finally she'll say "soppy" its so adorable! I just want to eat her up.
Raphaela's first wedding brunch. We went to four events for her wedding! I tough time finding four sheiky meiky outfits.
Japanese Gardens. Raphaela and Charlie had a lovely wedding. We went to a German bar before the reception in honor of Raphaela. We had some of the best food ever! Deep fried reubens! YUM!
Rachel, Kristin, Raph, and me. We are so hot! :)This was our last of the four weddings. Summer of Wedding has come to an end. Kinda nice b/c now we have half of summer left and no real commitments. We get to do anything we want. Like running through the fountains at the zoo with our cousins and friends. We have yet to hit the beach or public pool. I might need back up for that!
Cameron and Brooke spent lots of time at Papa and Nana's this summer while we were at our weddings. Cameron asks each day to go back and go swimming. It's good to know that she had a lot of fun and was not sad. Although she likes to tell me how much she missed us while we were on "bacation."
Jill and Tim
