8 Months Old

I did a little photo shoot yesterday. This is what we got for their 8 month pictures.

Kenai

We went down to Kenai for the weekend. We could not have asked for better weather. We were able to enjoy a nice walk on the beach.

Soaking there feet in the sand. They both loved it. Dylan liked the sensation of his feet getting sucked into the sand.

Fun note: We drove onto the beach in our trailblazer. On our way to our fishsite, someone was having a wedding wish I could have taken a picture but it was beautiful. The tide was low, the sun was beaming the background of the arch was the beach and rocks. Could not have been a better day to have that wedding. I was worried that we were going to ruin it, but we didn't we came before and after.

Dylan and Lindsey were full of smiles in the trailer. (this was at the begining, at the end of our three day trip they were ready to come home:)

Because there isn't alot of room in the trailer, we pitched our tent for the Twins and I to relax and play in. Worked out great!

Hornet Invasion

A Huge hornet community decided to gathered on the floor of our covered trailer. We found this out by Devin getting ready to use it, walking in and seeing this extremely big hive. Needing the trailer fast, Devin ran to the store and bought some Hornet spray and began getting ready to enter the "danger zone". We sealed off any area that a hornet could enter with good old duct tape. Gotta love it! Devin was successful in gathering the hive in a bucket and taking it back into our wooded area without getting stung. Made for some fun pictures.

Blurry picture but wanted you to see the huge hive that developed in just 2 months since we used the trailer last.Devin after deciding to duct tape his face to avoid any hornets from stinging him.

Cabin Get Away

This weekend we were able to go to a Forest Service Cabin at Nancy Lake with our friends the Dunfords. It was so much fun! Between the two families we had five kids, three babies. It was an adventure for sure but well worth the work. Dylan and Lindsey absolutley loved being outdoors and at the cabin. Dylan pretty much had a smile on his face the entire time. He also slept better in the cabin than he usually does at home. I guess that is our hint that we need to go camping more. We roasted marshmallows, some fished, played games and just had fun. It is always nice to get away from the everyday life and enjoy the beautiful outdoors.

The trail to the cabin was probably less than 1/2 a mile and wide and smoothe enough for the stroller. Devin and I packed everything else on our backs.
The Dunford Family: Ramin, Kelly, Kira, Caden, Maraya

The three babies in their corner of the bunk with all the toys. Outside we had a tent that they played in. Maraya is three weeks older than the twins. They are all pretty good friends.

Happy little Lindsey.

The Twins snuggled up close to me and in about 4 layers of clothes and blankets.

This is right after the twins woke up in the morning. They were filled with smiles during the cabin adventure.

Caught Dylan on camera being silly.
