Pitcher Family Reunion 2013

It has been such a long time since I have blogged but I have Miss Ruby to blame for that.  I am starting to feel a little better and the morning sickness is staying strictly in the morning where it belongs!  Although I had a great time in Idaho/ Utah I was pretty sick.  Here are pictures from the Pitcher Family Reunion in Park City, Utah.  We had an awesome time!  Idaho falls pictures will soon follow! 

 Celebrating mom's birthday.  Even when my dad isn't on the phone his hand is glued to his ear.  Old habits die hard.

 Two pregnant ladies.  One at the starting line, one at the finish line.  Baby Dash will be born in just 6 days!

 Well, we know Hazel had a good time ;)

 Me and the birthday girl

 View from the balcony.  I stayed behind so I wouldn't puke on the slide.  The kids had a great time.

 Miss Hazel passed out on Aunt Diane after a long day of fun.  I'm pretty sure Oliver has his finger up his nose.  That's my boy.

splashing with daddy

Today has been absolutely beautiful!  So glad we are finally having some good weather and it's always nice to have Daddy around.  

 Perhaps next year we will splurge and get a larger pool!

 Still the perfect dunking size.

The Lady Lounge: Sherbit Pips Quilt

 It's finally done!  I have had it back from the quilters for a few months but it took me a while to get to the binding.  It's actually the biggest quilt I have ever made.  All my other ones have been baby size.  I am excited to put it on Hazel's big girl bed someday. 

 The back

 Matt kept complaining that his arms hurt (guess I took too many pictures).  Afterwords he said "So that's what it's like to be my Dad". 

Big enough to accommodate big snuggles with my big kids.

Wisconsin Summer Fun!

 Earlier this week we had a great time outside playing in the splash pool and sprinkler.  The kids love being in their swimming suits and getting wet.  Splashing Britton made for some extra giggles. 

 Poor Matt has to pull this load!  Cute but heavy!

 The highlight of our "staycation" was going to the Lake Michigan shoreline.  Oliver has been bugging us to take him to the Ocean for months (I guess what he doesn't know wont hurt him). 

 Gosh I love my little family!

 This was Hazels first beach experience.  When we got to the shoreline her eyes go real big and she said "Woah!  So much sand!"

 Oliver was daring and splashed in the cold water with Daddy.

 1.  Splash Daddy

 2.  Get chased by Daddy

 3.  Get caught by Daddy

 4.  Get dunked by Daddy!

 I know everyone thinks their kids are cute but... come one, her blond curls are just too adorable!

 Looking for shells and rocks.

This is our last summer in Wisconsin!  July 1st will begin our 12 month count down!  Woohoo!  So excited to see where our next adventure takes us!

Sunshine, Bicycles & Bogs

 I hope we end up moving to Oregon in a year from now if for no other reason than Hazel looks adorable in Bogs.  Serious cuteness. 

 I love seeing the kids out on their bikes.  I wish we had a little more room for then to play though. 

 

 

 Oliver's newest obsession is The Avengers.  Thor is his favorite.  He had worn the same shirt for three days in a row.  I finally had to peel it off him and throw it in the wash while he slept.
