OH boy! Where to begin. Well I will start with our week vacation in Tulemeen. We left Saturday morning with the rest of my family which is 9 adults and 5 kids (4 under the age of 2)!! We were all able to make it to princeton without stopping for crying children and had lunch at A&W. Tulemeen is a 30 minute drive through the mountains on a very windy road from Princeton. WE arrived at the house my parents rented and got settled in. The house was gorgeous. The week was very relaxing. My family enjoys sitting around doing absolutely nothing, but i like to be out and about so we went to the local playground and beach daily. It was a great trip the kids slept great. We had little to no expectations so it was awesome to have great sleepers and everything work out smoothly! So that was our great adventure, makes me more confident in going to seattle for a couple of nights and hitting up the aquarium and zoo! If anyone has advice about which hotel to stay at that is close to one of the attractions let me know!










Camryn is moving around, doing a lot of bum scooting, she does try and crawl but is moving backwards! last night I raised her side bar in her crib thinking that one day she is just going to roll out of her bed, even though she never rolls over even though she knows how. And we discovered her asleep with her arm holding the bar. i will post a picture of this! She is such an awesome baby. We had Kris and Annette over last night and i forgot she was there!










This past Saturday my mom and my youngest brother BJ jumped out of a plane at 14,000ft! Yep my mom went skydiving. She has always wanted to do this but my dad wouldn't let her because he didn't want anything to happen to her and leave him with us kids to raise! So my mom turned 50 this past May and us kids gave her a gift, it's a piece of paper numbered from 1-50 and through out the year this paper will be filled with events or gifts that she receives or does with one of us. So BJ took her sky diving as one of the 50 things. She has received so far flowers each month from one of us kids and stepping stones from her grandchildren. Jackie and Steven took her to the sandcastles in whiterock and I took her to the quilt show and we are going to see mama mia. And my dad is taking her on an alaskan cruise Sept 6! So it is a fun filled year for her. the plan is that for her 51st birthday we will present her with a scarpbook of some sort of all the events and gifts she has received as we have been taking pictures of everything and keeping ticket stubs and stuff like that. So ya.










Janae is getting smarter every day! The words that come out of her mouth sometimes are crazy , The other day she asked to sit in my chair and I told her that i was sitting in it but she could sit in daddy;s chair. so she walked over to his chair and said," I sit in daddy's chair for a reason!!" what? anyways she makes us laugh!










Well that is all I feel like writing, i really should write more often so that i remember everything that is happening in the Jefremow household!!

That's a great idea for a 50th birthday gift, too! And a 51st!
