Teenager in the House!!!


Nick turned 13 this summer! We can't believe we have a teenager in the house!

Father-Son Duo!

Bunch of crazy boys!


Nick chose Bacon Cheeseburgers as his birthday meal. The first bite!
Gianna loved dancing around at Nick's celebration! She had quite the moves.


Going on a bike ride to the skate park. Apparently this was the "cool" activity.


Arnold brought a bottle of Sparkling Cider for each person at the party. They boys LOVED chugging it and they spraying it at each other!

Vegas Baby! Happy 21st Kels!


The birthday girl! We were so happy to be sharing Kelsey's 21st bday trip with her and her family to Vegas!

We needed these to keep up with the younger girls!!

Day 2-our own cabana along the lazy river, HEAVENLY!


Hanging with our cabana girl!



Sweet sisters

And here we have the beginning of a "water routine" by Shawn and Vinny. Oh how creative they are!



And finally- the finale!

Great Vegas trip!!!

Annual La Push Trip


The 6 Pack back for another year together at La Push...and yes they have been going since they were little kids, and we have been going for the last 7 years...Twilight has nothing to do with it! It is actually annoying to have to share "our" beaches with Twilight fans!

Meeting up at the gas station, trading kids, and putting extra stuff in open spaces! We were packed to the brim-no wiggle room allowed!
Langston kids packed in!

Customary stop at Frugals for a DELICIOUS burger and seasoned fries!!
As soon as we got to our cabins, quickly unloaded, we always race to the beach...the kids race into the water to bodyboard!

Shawn and his girls

G had so much fun running into the waves with Kelsey.

Snuggling up by the fire

Returning from a beach walk with Daddy-just the two of them!
Whittling away by the fire


Football game-happens at least once a day!



Someone has to buried each year-this year, Gianna

Playing poker in a log fort on the beach

This girl did not stop running on the beach or in the waves! She could not get enough of it.





Daddy is such a great playmate!



Building a damn before the tide rushes in

2nd beach

lots of fun to be had on the beach

Signature drink

A skeleton the kids found...we found the whole body, but this was just the head

Getting ready for the football game on 2nd beach

Team 1
Team 2

The whole crew


We had been wondering where the guys were...they had snuck off behind a wall of logs to play poker!



Climbing the huge rock


Best buddies


Enjoying the life we are living
