Tony Wilson Classic

A little golf for the boys, a day off for me and a reason to get the great community that Lynden is together to raise money in the memory of a great guy and friend. Cole, Chuckie, Tom (Lagried) and Chris got a team together and teed off around 11 am and I took off with Kade to Matt and Ashley's to have social hourS and watch the guys golf. It was probably one of the best days of the summer however trying to keep the little man cooled off is a pain so I am welcoming some cooler fall weather! Along with the cooler weather will mean a more relaxed schedule as well... PTL! :)

The benefit dinner was SO great to see all the support and to remember Tony. It's hard to believe that it has been three years since we lost such an inspirational, hardworking and caring friend. He always had a smile on his face and was that kind of person you felt like you knew forever even if you had just met him. Every year the event just gets bigger and bigger, thanks to all the hard work from Sandy, Jeff and Jenn Wilson, Bre Maberry and Ryan and Megan Van Diest. The fact that they knew how much this fundraiser meant to Tony and carried it out for him and continually work their butts off every year is remarkable.


My love


YAY for a third addition! We can hardly wait!


Price gals minus Leslie


Memi and our Kader.....Such a chunk! :) I love this picture


Mama Les Chuckie and Kade


And we're out....it was a long day for the little man but just like aways he handled everything with ease. Cole and I keep saying we have been SO spoiled with the easiest going baby in the world. I try to watch what I say thinking I'm going to jinx myself but if anything it just gets easier. I think because we really know what we're dealing with now and have his schedule down to an art it's such a breeze. Our second, third, fourth and fifth ;) (kidding... Cole would die!) are going to be a challenge no matter what because you don't get easier then Kade. :) We'll take it! haha

It's ELECTRIFYING!

Cole and I have definitely settled into family life as well as a VERY busy life. Our work schedules are pretty opposite and leaves maybe a couple nights a week together. I'm not going to complain too much but I can really REALLY start missing him and time as a whole family together. Our Chelan trip was SO great just to relax with no agenda and just enjoy our time.

Our second night of vacations we got a truly amazing thunder and lightning storm. I had woken up to feed Kade about 2:30 am and just sat and watched. Kade went back to sleep and Cole and I had a little date on the patio with quite the show. Cole of course put on a pot of coffee and we sat and talked and watched till the sun came up. :) Such a great night!


We just sat there in awe. Moments like that where there's no denying God and his glory and power are just so amazing and breathtaking! Everything happens for a reason and he has a plan. I could not be more happy in life. To be with my best friend and someone I am so in love with and in my bias opinion, have the most beautiful baby boy, is such a rich and rewarding life.

I love the kind of relationship we have. There has always been a crazy amount of chemistry only now we have such a great friendship to go along with it. I can never get bored of the man that's for sure! We can't wait to have our day and look forward to many more 'electrifying' moments together!

Desert Canyon 2010

One of my favorite places to be, and especially with my family, is Desert Canyon! I love how you're relatively close to just about anything and yet far enough away to where you feel secluded! That and the scenery is just beautiful!

My parents, Rudy, Anna, Chili Bean, the Maasens and us took the hike over to Orondo for a week to get away and enjoy some sunny weather and time together. We got AMAZING weather and even a crazy thunder and lightning storm. While the weather was great and the lake was even better my favorite times were coffee on the patio in the morning and wine and Apples to Apples the the evening.

Cole and I got lots of helping hands with Kade and as much as we love that little guy we really appreciated the break. We should have took a picture of what we 'had' to pack down to the lake everyday! It was honestly ridiculous! Everything was for Kade and our efforts to keep him cool and comfortable. Considering he's probably one of the most easy going babies I've ever come across, it was definitely over the top! First time parents....


Cole of course couldn't wait to get some golfing in....


My tired boys :)


I LOVE how he looks like a little man in that chair!










All of our helping hands....Everyone helped us out I just happened to snag pictures of a few of them. Even Uncle Yimmy who WAS scared of handling a new baby again helped me out when I was cookin up dinner the first night! :) Gotta love it! I think we cured him throughout the week!


Love these dorks! :)



We had such a great time! I can't wait for next year already!!!

Two months and counting


BIG YAWN!

Our happy boy..... He is always all smiles!


Okay! So I am definitely about a month behind on these pictures but I need to get them in here because this was the first day that Kade really started making some noise and giving lots of personality! Two months old and just my little honey! I could never get sick of looking at him and LOVE talking to him!

July 12......A day to remember

Cole and I decided to finally get out of the house, just the two of us, and go out for a little date night :) We have always spent a lot of time out a Birch Bay and love it out there so we thought CJ's for dinner and then the beach sounded great! The weather was awesome so I brought the camera along thinking I would catch some great sunset pictures and try to capture our 'first' date/night out since the little man.

After dinner we walked down to our little spot on the point and I started setting up the camera with the self timer to get a picture. We were going to just take a quick picture because the tide was up and barely any room was left for us to hang out. I was pretty focused on telling Cole where to stand and making sure that it was going to be just right. I had actually said I can't wait till we can afford a ring and get married and that's when he responded you mean one like this one? I finally focused in on him and he was standing there in the picture holding a ring with a huge smile on his face and I melted, started shaking and cried! We had picked out a ring about a year and a half ago and had to put it on hold because money doesn't grow on trees unfortunately and Kade and a house were much more important to us. I didn't think that for 1 a man could pick out a ring I would LOVE and 2 that there was one out there better than the one I had originally had my eye on but yet again Cole surprised me! It's so perfect!



Before I realized he was standing there with a ring and about to propose, I had already clicked the timer to take a picture. By the time the camera took the photo this is what we got! I had completely forgotten that I clicked the picture with all the excitement and the fact that it had captured the moment so perfectly was SO amazing!! I would have to say it's the BEST first date picture I could've imagined for us! :)

I really did not even come close to seeing it coming and that is difficult to pull off! I love a surprise and always find a way to ruin it for myself however, Cole knows me too well and is very good and redirecting my way of thinking! I had actually told Cole that I thought he was acting funny and I knew something was up but I was convinced he was planning something for my birthday NOT an engagement! :) So smart! We are SO incredibly happy and feeling like we have been so blessed to have such an amazing life! We are planning for an August 6 wedding next year and can hardly wait!! :)



So happy and so in love! This is what life is all about!

Berty and Mother Den

Summer time is here officially and that also means BBQs over at the Loefflers! Volleyball, music, good food and great company is always expected and this time we got to bring our Kader and really enjoy some family time! This year is quite a bit different considering all of the babies we have amongst all of our friends! Lawsen, Alexa and Taylors 8 month old, looks so much bigger compared to the newbies but I'm sure soon enough it will all even out.


Getting everything together and getting out of the house!


A few of us mamas and our babies! Terell and Willem (1 Month), Alexa and Lawsen (8months), and me and Booger (2 months)




Loving the stance ;) It turned out to be such a great night for volleyball!


Bill and Bert! Gotta love the cut off.... I don't know that he will ever throw that thing away!

Music came later along with tired babies and worn out parents! It's ALWAYS a good time and always something to look forward to! Can't wait for the next one already!

CrAzY wEeK!!

While being off from work was great for the past 6 weeks, it is now time to jump back on the horse. I started back out at Packers 5 days a week, serving, and it's been great! Like that's not enough I will be adding the dental office as well next week! I love my house and I am completely in love with Kade but I've never been that great at being a home body. I like to get up and go! Considering how busy Packers is with the summer and sunshine, it also is working as my workout! :) Not only did I go back to work this week but Cole had an audit at work (LOTS of hours spent at the store) and Chuck and Leslie rented a house out at Birch Bay for the week. Needless to say we had a full load but such as life when you are no longer thinking about yourself! It now takes me an extra half hour to get out of the house due to all of the things I need to pack for Kade and just when I think I have it all and am out the door, I realize I forget a burp rag or extra diapers! It's very convenient that my mom has all the extras otherwise I would be late a lot! :) We did actually get some good time out at the cabin and I was snapping pictures as much as I could.





















Life is a little crazy but I wouldn't change a thing! We are definitely in our groove now and I can't wait to see our family grow (not that soon)! haha Someone has got to get a Price girl out in the world sometime! I'm thinking she's going to have to be one tough cookie to keep up with all these boys!
