And the Finale!

And then we ended the trip up at the Foster grandparents!!! Not many pictures, because I have come to the conclusion that the Boise Kearneys are actually rain gods. Yes, they have had the MOST beautiful summer on record as in forever… And we show up to torrential down pour… Awesome.

 But that gave us lots of opportunities to love on Baby Emmett!

 And we still managed to do some swimming...
 And more paddle boarding!
 And then we travelled north to Ms. Cassie's soccer tournament. Which she WON!!! Rock star goalie that girl...
 The tourney was after a stop at the outlets. Under Armour Outlet=trouble.
 And the Macka/Aidan montage.

 Neon wearing buddies for life!
 I asked Cassie if would be okay if I wore a cheer leading outfit and did a performance. She informed me, "No. Jane's don't cheerlead." Little did Jon and Heather know that giving Cassie my middle name would lead to such a striking resemblance to her auntie's personality. Good luck guys because "Janes" keep you on your toes!
 This baby! Love.
 And this duo, funny stuff out of these mouths. Circus dog trainer and her side-kick goofball.
Another snap of super star Cassie JANE! 

Part Tres….

We spent two fun-filled nights up at the Foster's and had a blast on Pine Lake!

 Don't think for a second that the "water carpet" is easy… Because let me tell you, 38 year old ladies don't fair well on this sucker...
 Of course Morgan did a headstand on a paddle board. Are we sure she's my kid?
 Dash and Bogey stole the show….
 And got lots of love from the Kearneys! 


 ALL the Kearneys!
 We also loved visiting a zoo that doesn't have just deer and labradors. I kid! Sorry Boise Zoo...

 Ha, as I scroll down and see that the kids are feeding a deer. Okay, Boise Zoo you are diverse and wonderful too...
 Not that many photos taken because of bottles such as these… Always TOO much fun at the Fosters!
 Oh Macka, Macka, Macka, how we LOVE you so…. Max was tied to Aidan's hip and while Aidan doesn't look thrilled in this picture, he actually was to have a little buddy and honored that Max loves being with him!
 Bed head!
No rest for the wicked…. Sadly work doesn't take a vacation, although working with Bogey in lap isn't too bad...

Part Deux….


And then it was time to hit the Ocean with Mema and Papa! Such fun to get to spend time where Ryan had family time as a kid!!!

 Internal magnet was again activated and Morgan found her happy place by daddy's side!
 I could get used to this view!
 Everyone enjoying the beach, while Ryan iced his arm from Bee Attack 2015.
 The situation got a little dire...

 But Popeye the Sailor man persevered….

 These two!
 Treasure hunting was fantastic!
 And so was this girl!
 Posing like bosses.




 Owning the world, this girl!
 What the what?!? Papa in the KITCHEN! Re-heated taco meat for all! Sorry Jimmy, but I just have to dig when I can, since I give ample material in the digging department as well!

 This face is the face of caffeine. Or sugar. Or maybe just high on life with his beloved fam.
 Bee Attack hit Ryan and I while berry picking on Mercer Island. I though I had escaped the swelling…  Until I woke up to THIS! 
 Yow! Bee 1, Sarah 0. This swelling went on and on and believe it or not, it actually got worse than this. 
 But I had beautiful nature to distract me...
 Beautiful as in bird poop. I knew our kids were from Idaho when they saw the seagulls and said, "I thought seagulls lived at the dump?"
 No trip to OC is complete without the go-karts.
 And apparently me taking pictures of a person I don't know. But the kid looks happy?
 Mema and Aidan on the slick track!
 Beautiful Morgan and beautiful view!


 A very accurate family picture!
 Mema and her crew!
 And then the Fosseens came and Aidan was in Cody heaven. These two are just too cute!
 And Morgan skim-boarded for hours.
 While the kids played!
 More spike ball!

Only one picture of Kirkland, but only one night was spent there. View from Jim and Beth's place doesn't disappoint. What also didn't disappoint was driving by Hope Solo's house right there in the 'hood and realizing that Morgan's baby shower was in that house. Morgan was IN HOPE SOLO'S house!!!! Granted when she was 3 months, but she was EXCITED!
