August Birthdays

My birthday is in August, Josh's birthday is in August. After we got married in August Josh told me we should have our kids in August. I didn't think that was a good idea, but last year Branson was born in August.

So far we have celebrated the first two. For my birthday Sarah came to visit and we spent the morning in Chelan, then went out to Manson to pick Blueberries.

For Josh's birthday Ben, Bethany and Charlie were in town, and we headed up to Chelan to hang out with the Sandersons.

Branson thought the sand was more fun to eat than his dinner.

Sarah made Josh some birthday brownies and B thought daddy needed to share

Charlie laying on the beach

and another just cause he is so cute

It was a fun night, so much fun to hang out with the adorable Sanderson boys. Here they are taking turns holding baby Charlie.

Charlie finally decided to make his appearance. Isn't he cute?! Dad, Mom, B and I were so anxious to meet him we hopped in the car and drove from Washington to Minnesota. On the way we stopped by Mount Rushmore

Branson's first look at his cousin.

B taking a break from playing with Grandpa. Note their matching outfits.

Charlie with Auntie Holly. I am SO jealous that she gets to cuddle this little munchkin whenever she wants.

B and I stayed with Holly, while Dad and Mom stayed at Ben and Bethany's. There is a park by Holly's place with this pool. B loves the water so it was perfect place to spend some time while Holly was at work.

I am in love!

Grandpa and his boys. Who would have thought that there would more boys than girls in our family?!

On the way home we went through Jamestown, ND. This is where Kati went to school and I never got the chance to visit. It was fun to see where she lived for a while.

Also, on the way home we went through Theodore Roosevelt National Park. This Bison was sitting on the side of the road as we drove past.

Over 3,000 miles but it was well worth it. Being an Auntie is the best.
