Do we do anything other than go to Flathead Lake in the summer? Not really.
Another trip up to the lake, this time with sis Nikole and her kidlets. I'm just trying to get through my July pics. Almost there.
Andrew and I went up to the lake last month with Tim's sister Karla and her kids. She's got some adorably quirky little people.
This little guy, for example, just might be my favorite little person on the planet right now (except for my own son, because that just wouldn't be right, right?)
Tanner is soooo cute! He's obsessed with vacuums. The first thing he asked me when he came in my house was:
Tanner: "Do you have a vacuum?"
Me: "Yes"
Tanner: "Can I see it?"
Andrew's got a room full of Hot Wheels and trains and this kid wants to see my vacuum.
Then when we got up to the lake, he walked into my parents yurt and after a few minutes he spotted my moms vacuum. He shrieked!
"A VACUUM!!!"
Too cute, I tell ya. My mom was quite taken with him as well. He kept asking her, "Can I play with Harold's vacuum?"
Then there's Lydia. She has the most indescribably cute little voice. Plus she likes to play with my hair, which I looooove.
Then there's cousins Andrew and Jackson. They're just plain ol' 8 year old boys so I'm not quite sure what to say about that. Except that together they make 'Andrew Jackson', our 7th U.S. president who's portrait is on the 20 dollar bill. Okay, that was stupid.
My mom likes to torment little children. She has a tradition of telling any unsuspecting child that they can push her in the lake, but when they get close enough, she grabs them and pulls them in with her. The poor sucker this time was Hans.
Thanks, mom and dad for another great weekend!
A while back, we got a wild hair to go to Lolo Hot Springs. It was a totally random day trip. It was raining and freezing cold that day so we didn't stay long. Andrew is a fish though, and could have stayed forever so we had to practically drag him out of the pool.
On the way home, we stopped to roast some hot dogs and boil up some ramen for dinner
Andrew invented these...he calls them "Tape Buddies". He's made three of them so far. This is his most recent. He made it for his Great Grandma's birthday to go in her card that he also made for her. Quite creative if you ask me. But then again, I'm the mom.
Okay, I'm really behind posting stuff. After the 4th, Tim and I went over to Spokane for a little temple trip, just the two of us. What did we do with Andy? I honestly don't remember. I think he stayed with Grandma Vickie? Anyway, we had a nice little road trip together. Tim shaved his head almost completely bald right before we went over. It was pretty SHOCKING. I usually cut his hair for him but he was getting impatient and did it himself and wouldn't take my advice on what size comb to use. Oh well.

We spent the 4th up at the lake...of course. Tim, Sam, Maddy and Andrew showed up after their hiking trip in time for some grub and then fireworks.
