Tys and Dutchess bestest friends

We went camping for a day in Cascade!

Nieko stole all the chocolate off the crackers!

Rudi liked the marshmallows too...

Finn is just smilin' away!

New signs we bought in Cascade to add to our original one. Can you tell it's been 3 years since we've been up there?

Tys' favorite thing is to "make smoke"

Hello,

Our computer is fixed again! After the electricity went out one morning, our computer wouldn't start up anymore. Turns out the hard drive was going bad. So now we have a brand new hard drive! And thankfully all our files/pictures etc. were saved!
We've been enjoying the summer. The weather has been hot- typically for July. And now it's already August, it seems like the summer just got started!

On July 26th my sister Anyke & Jetze had a beautiful, healthy baby girl, they named her Roos (Dutch version of Rose)! most of my family now have skype and we enjoy "skyping" a lot! It's awesome!

Finn had his 2 month check up last week. He weighed 12lbs 12oz, which is right in the 50th %tile. For lenght he was in the 75th %tile.
He's such a sweet baby and reminds us mostly of Tys.

Finn's first time in the hottub!

This was how he looked the whole time!

here he's "talking" to me! I love having "conversations" with him!

sweet baby

Tys & Nieko looking at all the equipment on the farm. The employees were cleaning and maintaining all the cows' beds. Which takes a lot of equipment, such as; loaders, trucks, skid steers etc! They had a blast!

some fun slide pictures!

cuddle time after nap time! To me it's amazing how three brothers can look so different!

Tys and Nieko are extremely sweet to baby Finn, and they're careful with him too! There has only been one incident so far, where we think Nieko poked him in the eye. Finn was pretty upset about that, but he recovered quickly.. and Nieko.. well, he got in trouble! And hasn't done it since!
