How could I forget??

Had to add one more picture here...Hayley had another visit from the Tooth Fairy. It's so cute how excited she gets each time she loses a tooth (which is currently a grand total of 3). Here is her cute lil' mug...

Glamping.
Go ahead. Google "glamping". Because for those that know me, they know I am NOT a lover of camping. Now this "glamping"....THAT I could get used to! Most of my camping-loving friends make fun of me for being a princess and not enjoying roughing it and tent camping. Come on people, I've used many cactus for potties as a kid, I've roughed it with the best of 'em!

Anyway, our friend's son, Grant, came up with an idea to have a campout in their backyard this summer. In spite of the blustery weather, we had our campout this past weekend. We put up tents (ours happened to be a borrowed one that hadn't been cleaned since being used in Mexico so it smelled like farm animals and came complete with a dead lizard...), cooked hot dogs and smores over the fire, and slept in the great outdoors. Wow. Thank goodness when morning came we had a Forza coffee shop nearby to get a latte. And we got to cook AND eat breakfast indoors. THAT was nice. Especially the yummy pancakes and eggs that Tim & Heather cooked. All in all, it was a fun time and I was (I hope) a good sport but I am NOT camping anywhere in a tent other than a backyard! Seriously!

The kids, however, had a fabulous time. :) Here are a couple pictures - and yes, Heather, I left out the "morning after" shots.

Cool Slideshows!

Busy, busy, busy...
Is it just me or is this summer flying by? I know it started a bit later for us with school going until the end of June....and maybe it's because we really haven't had much warm weather...but it seems like school is just around the corner! So we have been trying to "suck the marrow out of summer" so to speak. :)
What have the Guay's been up to in August??? A lot of golfing for Dan, all-day shopping trip for Melissa, Point Defiance Zoo, free movie (Happy Feet) at night at the Point Defiance Zoo, Dan took Ainsley to a Seahawks scrimmage game, MOPS networking night for Melissa, going away party for our friends the Owen's, two days visiting Dan's parents in Mabton with an EARLY tee time for Dan & Hayley, lunch & kite flying and bubbles at Grandma & Grandpa's at Covenant Shores.....and that's just the first two weeks and so many more things on the calendar! I think we're all going to be glad for the school year to start and get back to a schedule and normal bedtimes...probably no less busy though. Here are some recent pictures.....

How about some artistic talents...

Okay, I know I'm the mom and completely biased but I had to show-off this picture that Ainsley drew. It's a mermaid! Holding a balloon! And apparently has some kind of pearl necklace on....unless that's the misplaced shell bikini top. :)

Hayley also wanted an honorable mention with her drawing of "Ponyville" -she got a My Little Pony sweet shop for her bday and this is her rendition. I love stuff like this and both of them LOVE to spend the day drawing like crazy.
