Braden scores!

Braden had 8 goals in his first season playing soccer at the Y. We absolutely loved watching him play. He was so fast and the last two games he scored 3 goals each. Wait till next year! We love you Bub!

Spring in Washington

Our tulips this year were so beautiful! After a long and almost sunless winter (or so it seemed to me) I was so happy to have spring come.

Headed for the next Olympics?

Grace is so full of drama and life. We are so blessed to have her and she adds such spice to our lives! Watch her go!

Jess is one great cousin!

Gracie had fun with her cousin Jessica. She adores her!

Spencer's about to explode...

But this time, we don't mind. He had a fun pack meeting where they set off their volcanoes. They also got their awards by "digging" for fossils. We sure appreciate his leaders and all the work they do to make scouts fun!

Sometimes it is nice to get away.....

We went camping with friends to Fort Stevens. The weather could have been better, but then again it could have been worse. We made the best of it and sure enjoyed biking. Camping sure is alot of work, but the memories are worth it (I keep saying this to myself while packing and unpacking:)) Braden and Megan learned how to ride on two wheels finally! Yahoo!!! Here are some of our memories...

4th of July

Our day was quite busy, but sure a great one. We had a breakfast at church and the kids were in a parade. We then headed down to the Orting trail to take a bike ride. After that we meet up with the Bees at Grandma's house for a barbeque. Then we relaxed and played with 11$ worth of sparklers and pop its (I know...we are big spenders-so out of control). It was a wonderful day. I sure am glad to live in the USA. No where on earth is as wonderful as this choice land!:)
