The Sickies

Jackson caught a flu bug a few weeks ago and so of course Cameron got it too! We sure love to share germs around here!

Luckily it was only a 2 day deal and he was back to his old self. He was so upset that I wouldn't let him eat his normal food (he was on the B.R.A.T. diet). The morning after he felt better he woke up asking for every different kind of food we had in the kitchen. He was crazy....."I want a bagel and cream cheese, grapes, no pancakes!, yogurt, an apple, oatmeal, and toast with cheese, I mean oranges!" It was much nicer to have a puker kid that was old enough to understand "STAY ON THE COUCH" and "THROW UP IN THE BOWL".

Father's Day 2011

We had a fun Father's Day. We celebrated my daddy, Jerry, Halsy, and Austin. I was especially excited to give Halsy his gift because it was a big surprise and a big effort!

I sent out emails a month ahead of time asking if family wanted to go in on helping me get an adjusting table for him. So far - he has been adjusting us on the ottoman :) I got so much response and I was thrilled! The Table I was eyeing was at Halsy's school and sold for $350.00. I had enough people that I would only have to spend around $140.00 to get it, so it was still not going to happen. Just before I called the bookstore, a thought came to my head to check craigslist one more time. I ALWAYS check craigslist for tables and they are never there. If they are they are too ancient to be useful or way to expensive. However, just my luck an ad had just been posted by a couple in Sellwood. They graduated from Halsy's school a few years ago and don't use their portable adjusting table any more. They were selling it for $250.00 I worked her down to $225 if I came the next day to get it!! I was so excited!! Over a hundred dollars less than the other one. Now I could afford it!! I raced there the next day and was pleased to see it was in wonderful condition and the couple was very adorable!

I hid it until the big day and then sent him on a scavenger hunt to find it! He LOVED it and we busted it out right there to get the "real thing". It was perfect!

Swimsuit Debut

The sun finally came out! The kids were so excited to bust out their swimsuits and get wet! This was the best picture I could get of all the Morin cousins - they couldn't stand still!

I love her chubby legs!!

Finn loved putting his feet in and I couldn't keep Katey Jane out of the water!

Jackson and Cameron are such big boys! They were taking their dinosaurs for a swim.

We headed for the trampoline but needed to take a rest on the grass!

KJ with my sunglasses!

Where's the baby?

Katey Jane fell asleep in the car right as we were pulling into the grocery store - we were not about to turn around!! So I made a little bed for her in the cart and she STAYED ASLEEP through almost the entire trip!! I just thought it was so cute to see her little shoes and bow sticking out both ends! I kept dreaming that I was sleeping so soundly in a soft bed about then. :)
