It's been one party after another here at the Wrathall household. This is a picture from Keaton's birthday party. His birthday was actually in March, but since our house was totally torn apart in March we postponed it until June, when our house was only partially torn apart. Partial is so much better than total.
Then a couple of days later we had Carson's birthday party. His birthday is in December, but since it's so close to Christmas he always has his party in June. Don't you love how we celebrate our kids' birthdays at random? That's the thing about being parents. You can do whatever you want!
Next up we have our encounter with a snake on our front porch. Remember the sign on our front door that says, "Thou Shalt Remove Thy Shoes"? Well, he didn't. And this is what we do to those who don't obey. He is still in the freezer and he gives me a heart attack every time I try to sneak and get some ice cream.
Party number three is Daniel's going away party. We managed to pull off a surprise, which is always fun. I can't believe the year is already gone, and we put him on a plane yesterday to head back to Germany.
Goodbye Daniel! We'll miss you!
Don't forget to put schlupfer on your po!
So once all the parties were over it was time for a little trip.
We camped one night at Maryhill State Park in the Columbia River Gorge. That was fun until the sprinklers came on at midnight and then stayed on, hitting our tent every sixty seconds for the next three hours.
The next day we hiked the Eagle Creek trail to Punchbowl Falls and took a dip in the frigid waters. That was SO fun! There were a couple of cliffs to jump off of and the boys all did it several times.
Eagle Creek is one of our favorite places on earth. We go there almost every year and we never seem to get tired of it.
It's gorgeous!
For some reason, Jantzen wasn't excited about taking this picture.
She had a frown and she wasn't afraid to use it.
Then as if all of that stuff wasn't enough fun, we met up with my mom and sisters and headed to the beach for the Fourth of July. We got there early in the afternoon and just hung out all day playing in the water and the sand and the cooler full of food. Some of us ate more sand than food.
But I won't mention any names...
Jace!
Some of us ate more food than sand...
Me!!!
Some of us played with fire.
All in all it was a great time.
Amen!

Thanks for sharing. You haven't mentioned your marathon training so you must not have run it yet. Two graduates in one year how did you manage that one? You are very funny. Take care.
