On Saturday morning I had a feeling Saylor was going to crawl, so I got out the video camera and with in 5 minutes she did it! Call it mother's intuition! The boys were so excited and so were Nick and I, but most of all Saylor was. She is all over the place now. Part crawling and part rolling.

There she goes!

She is so happy now that she can move around!

Saylor really likes her Baby Mum-mum cookies. And she finally gets the hang of it, bite and chew bite and chew!

CRUNCH
That was a big bite!

For May long weekend we packed up the kids (including three Buteaus) and headed to Oroville to meet up with the McGraths. Ororville is in Washington, on the south end of Lake Osoyoos. We had 2 days of really nice weather and the inbetween stuff was tolerable. The kids enjoyed swimming in the lake, riding their bikes, playing some competitive soccer and eating smores every night. We met some interesting folk down south, the kids instantly befriended some american kids as soon as we pulled in. Utah and Kansas spent a bit of time at our site, along with Carter Squared and then we met an August near the end. All in all it was a great trip!

Lucas and Saylor

Lucas and Saylor have a little snuggle in the morning.

Saylor was such a good little camper, she slept nicely and was always entertained by the other kids. I think we will be doing a lot of camping this summer!

Do you think they would have sucked it in a little if they knew I was taking this picture?

"Ahhh, the water's cold Daddy"!!

Saylor sat in the playpen when we were at the beach, she enjoyed watching the kids run up, down, in and out of the beach and lake!

Carter rode his scooter pretty much all weekend, he is so good on that thing it's scary!

Carter finds a snack!

Dani helped out with the kids a lot on the weekend. I think Nick was thinking we should pay her, but we didn't. Tough luck Dani. LOL!

Carter ate so many pretzles he could have used his belly as a PFD!

Hannah took the kids out for a tour on the canoe, it reminded me of Survivor. So I put together a coulple more pics to illustrate their adventure in the dangerous waters of Lake Osoyoos.

The team struggles to get going in the right direction.
