"Mommy, I'm hiding!"

Project 365, day 53 (7/27/09)

We bought this rocking horse for Cameron's first birthday, but Carson has LOVED it way more that Cameron or Colton ever did! Glad I saved it, even though Scott hates it! LOL

Project 365, day 52 (7/26/09)

At our little playground, he's such a ham!

Project 365, day 51 (7/25/09)

Ready for Daddy to take them to the pool! What is up with CJ's expression though?? Or Cameron's, for that matter?! Weird boys! lol

Project 365, day 50 (7/24/09)

Look out GQ Magazine!

Project 365, day 49 (7/23/09)

CJ wanted to make a choo choo train...apparently Monkey wanted to be the caboose!

Project 365, day 48 (7/22/09)

CJ, just cheesin'.....the funny thing is, he usually smiles with his teeth, it's Cameron that does the closed mouth smile...

Project 365, day 47 (7/21/09)

Cameron got his allowance today ($2/week for helping mommy keep the toys tidied up in the living & dining rooms) and decided that handcuffs would be a good investment...first order of business? Lock up little brother!!

Project 365, day 46 (7/20/09)

Kaitlyn and Brook and their 'bucket-o-beads'...hours of fun!

Our day trip to Lake Sammamish State Park

We had such a great time at Lake Sammamish yesterday, there was no way I could pick just one picture to share... We arrived around 11:15 or so and got the cars unpacked and the kids played around while we got lunch started. We had hot dogs, hamburgers, steak, asparagus, corn on the cob, zucchini, yellow squash, watermelon, mango, strawberries, blueberries, pineapple, lots of chips and crackers...what a feast!! We played in the lake most of the day, but there was also a big playground where the kids played while we grilled up more food for dinner... We got home around 8:00, so we threw everyone in the shower and off to bed! The kids were SO exhausted! We had a really great day and will definitely visit that park again! When I uploaded the pics to Blogger, they were all in the wrong order, but oh well...here is our day of fun with some great friends!

Kait, drawing pictures in the sand...

What a great big sister!

Cameron and his buddy Justin

Justin, Cameron and Brook, making a lake...

Carson kept going, "EEEWWWW!"

Daddy, trying to convince CJ to get in the water...

WOO HOO! After half the day, Colton finally decides to get in the lake with Daddy!

Monkey LOVED the water!

Scott and the boys diggin a hole

Daddy and Carson

Carson sat here digging and flinging wet sand for a large part of the day, he was happy as a clam! (or maybe he was digging for clams?)

All six of the kids while they were waiting for lunch... (L-R: CJ, Cameron, Kait holding Carson, Brook and Justin)

Kaitlyn and Brook

Project 365, day 45 (7/19/09)

I walk out into the living room, and CJ says to me, "Mom, I a 'not-not! Dis my bayship!" {TRANSLATION: Mom, I'm an astronaut and this is my spaceship!"}

Project 365, day 44 (7/18/09)

We went to Lake Samammish State Park for the day and one of the first things that Scott spotted was this Bald Eagle! So today's picture was actually taken by my lovely assistant (aka: my husband, Scott).



As a bonus, here he is flying away - also taken by Scott...

Project 365, day 43 (7/17/09)

My HOT hubby, visiting with the neighbors! :)

Project 365, day 42 (7/16/09)

This is a typical morning in the Varner household...nothing like a little Spongebob to wake a kid up!

Project 365, day 41 (7/15/09)

Ok so we have been so busy, this picture was taken a different day, so shoot me!

Monkey thought he needed a helmet for diggin in the dirt! lmao!

Project 365, day 40 (7/14/09)

And I thought Carson looked grown-up in the last picture I posted of him!

Project 365, day 39 (7/13/09)

Ah, the life of a preteen girl...this is Kait and her friend, attempting to come up with a story about why I should let Kait spend the night at her friend's house, even though the parents would need to work in the morning...needless to say, they couldn't come up with anything good enough! lol

Project 365, day 38 (7/12/09)

When you walk out our back door and turn left, you see the little courtyard area that my kids play with all the neighbor kids...we love it! Apartment life - not as bad as I remembered! And when we are able to buy a house, I just might miss this...)

Anyway, this is CJ, going to find his friend, Justin...

Project 365, day 37 (7/11/09)

Mmmmmmm........YOGURT!

Project 365, day 36 (7/10/09)

Carson was watching Blue's Clues and I caught this picture of him...he just looks SO grown up, I had to share...he's 18 months old - almost to the day....

Project 365, day 35 (7/9/09)

Lookout!! He's Rabid! lol
Scott found Cameron asleep like this the other day! :)

Project 365, day 34 (7/8/09)

This is what I did all day today! I think I need a 12-step program for Facebookers Anonymous!

Project 365, day 33 (7/7/09)

After one week on Weight Watchers, I got my first 5 lb sticker! Woo Hoo!

Project 365, day 32 (7/6/09)

Kaitlyn has had to deal with a crappy cell phone (my old one) that wouldn't hold a charge - until now! She was finally able to upgrade for free and she chose the Samsung Juke...she's thrilled to have an MP3 player AND a phone that works! Oh, and Mommy is glad that Kait lets her borrow it for her morning walks... :)

Project 365, day 31 (7/5/09)

Carson didn't like being in the lake with Daddy, but playing in the sand with buckets and shovels was right up his alley!

Project 365, day 30 /7/4/09)

Kaitlyn and Cameron waiting for the fireworks to start...Cameron's expression cracks me up - he was SO exhausted - and on a side note, he passed out before the big ones started!

Project 365, day 29 (7/3/09)

Um, ok so I suck...I didn't take a picture on this day, but the next day I got such great shots, I thought I'd fudge a little, so this wasn't taken on July 3rd, but we can pretend, right?! Scott and Kaitlyn at the lake - an all-out war started shortly after I snapped this one...and for the record, Daddy won! lol

Project 365, day 28 (7/2/09)

Woo Hoo! Waterslides rule!

Project 365, day 27 (7/1/09)

This is what happens when someone leaves a step-stool on the floor upside-down by the bed and CJ falls out of bed in the middle of the night...talk about a rude awakening!!!
