Silverwood

We went to Silverwood on Saturday for the Moss Adams company picnic once again. I think this is our last year going so we tried to do as many thing as we could fit into our day. We rode the kiddie rides with Eli, the log ride and bumper boats of course, the train ride and watched the magic show. Finally we ended our day at Boulder Beach by riding down the lazy river and playing in the kid area. Elijah was a trooper and made it till 4pm before falling asleep in Chris's arms, he ended up sleeping until we got home and once we got there he only wanted to ride his bike, that kid just never stops moving.

Bumper Boats

very excited about the bumper boats

posing with Garfield, not something Eli wanted to do

they wouldn't let Ethan go on most because he was too tall so Eli went alone

looks of concern...

Bunco Fun

Once a month I get to have a girls night and go play bunco with some great friends!! Here are some funny pictures from July, our theme was Weddings which will help explain the pictures :)

The 3 bunco babes that are pregnant, Melissa is due in September (the smallest of course) I am due in October, and Tami is due in November.

Here I am posing for a goofy picture with the Bunco bouquet

Hanging out with my big brother

Although I don't really like the idea of Ethan doing a whole lot alone with Elijah since I am such a worrier, I am trying to let go a little, and let him do stuff with him. One thing he likes to do is take Elijah on walks around the block a little ways with Brownie. Ethan is supposed to walk the dog and push Elijah, but today Elijah thought he was supposed to walk the dog...it was pretty funny so I had to sneak a picture as they were walking away.

Barrie is 31 years old today

eating cake, what a great day for a 2 year old..Happy Birthday Elijah!!

We stopped at the Gardner Caves last weekend on our way to Trail, which took a lot longer than I was expecting. We got there later than planned and ended up missing the first tour, and had to wait and hour. There was a sign that said we could hike to the Canadian border, so that is what we did. Have you ever seen a pregnant woman hike, not pretty. It took about 15 minutes to the Canadian border which was pretty cool, there is a dividing line though the mountains you can see in the picture.

Trip to Boise

ah Charlie, Elijah was not very nice to Charlie and at one point was cornered in the cat house trying to get down saying, "help me"

We just got back from Boise and had a great time, we actually stayed for a week, the longest we have stayed in a while. Elijah and Ethan got to spend a lot of time with my brothers, dad, and grandma. Elijah even ended up giving my grandma (who is 1o1 and kind of scary to him) a kiss before we left, priceless. I love my family so much and really value the time I actually get to go down there and spend time with them. Hopefully we can move down there at some point in our lives.

Fun at Hoopfest

cute face!

sitting next to the water making sure not to get too wet

of course this boys comes over and splashes us stading right in the water

big smile

posing for a quick picture

I didn't get to play in Hoopfest this year being 6 months pregnant and all, so we did the next best thing, went and watched. Eli did really well in the stroller sitting and watching the games. We went on the carousel ride at Riverfront Park 2 times and then went over to the water fountain and sat and watched the water spray on everyone.

Baby Bump

I wanted to add a picture of my growing belly, this is the only one I have. I really need to keep up on pictures for my baby book, otherwise I will get too far behind and you know how that goes. I am 5 1/2 month now, I can't tell if I am bigger or not, I have been trying to stay pretty active this time around since it is so hard to work out after the baby arrives.

Indian's Game

We went to the Spokane Indians game last night for a little change of pace. Elijah actually sat and watched most of the game. He was especially interested in Otto, who he kept calling Boomer, his favorite mascot. He of course was scared to death of him and when he came over next to us he hid his head behind Ethan's arm, and held on for dear life. I also tried to get a picture of the three of us outside after the game and Elijah kept turning his head away from the camera, I guess I need a professional to help me.

I posed for a picture since I am never in any pictures

Ethan and Elijah posing with the skittles

This is Elijah holding his hands up to his face when Otto is walking towards us saying "Scared, Scared."

Otto walking towards us after the 3rd inning

Ethan got a card for Elijah from Otto that has his picture on it, and here is Eli holding it up saying "Otto!, Otto!"

Here is the best picture of the three of us and of course Elijah is looking off in the distance.

Water Fun

We went up to trail a couple weekends ago to visit and were able to hit the pool before we left town, here are some photos from our fun in the water.

Ethan ended up watching with me since his new bathing suit didn't fit, very sad...

We found some water guns to bring along for the fun, it took Eli a little while to get the hang of pulling the trigger.

waving hello and riding in the fish.

Happy 10th Birthday Ethan!!

Tracy putting on his birthday hat as he came in the door

Blowing out the candles and wishing for a girl friend I think.....

Ethan turned 10 years old today which is hard to believe, it has gone by so fast. I surprised him tonight by having all the girls playing Bunco at our house sing him Happy Birthday when he came home from baseball. It was pretty funny and he was very embarrassed. He is growing into a little man, and definitely is developing the attitude to go with it. I guess I can almost call him a "tween" since he is now in the double digits. Happy Birthday Ethan, we love you very much!

Think Pink...What's that??

Well the unthinkable happened.....we finally get to have a little girl in the Florko house hold. I can't believe it, and I almost don't want to get too excited till I actually see her. Now I get to think of some girl names for once....Yippppeeeeee

Elijah's first official hairt cut...(not by mom)

Getting into the chair, of course I bribed him with a sucker so that is what he is holding during all the pictures...

Getting the clippers, very brave
