Father's Day at Silver Falls

We had a wonderful picnic and hike at Silver Falls

for Father's Day this year!  The Lord blessed us with

beautiful weather:)

Dad used his grill for hot dogs and hamburgers!

Everyone had a great time except for blowing noses for allergies!

Ah...the great outdoors:)

Josh and Baseball

Josh just finished his baseball season last night!

This was his first year trying little league and he really enjoyed it.

Last night he made an awesome catch while

in left field!  It was a pop-fly and

the only one that has been caught all season:)

We were sure proud of him and all that he

learned! Go Josh:)

Visit to Washington

We enjoyed seeing family in Yakima!

We watched Grace play a soccer game and then

we hung out for awhile to visit:)

The kids dressed up Jeremiah!

Cannon Beach Weekend

We enjoyed the beach and flying kites!

Nice weather to enjoy God's creation:)

Fun races!

Sunny weather at the beach-love it!

I was amazed by the ice sculpture, so beautiful:)

Mindy prepared a wonderful birthday lunch for all the boys

celebrating their birthdays!!

Good job Matt-you figured out how to make the 

airplane go whizzzz down the track!

At the beach the day we were leaving-the sun was shining!

We so enjoyed having our family together in OR.

(A big thanks to those who traveled down

from WA!)

It was a great time of being together:)

For some reason I couldn't get any videos to work

so maybe on another blog!

Wonderful mugs made by Sam!

David playing with the truck we gave him:)

A new game-yeah!

We enjoyed opening gifts together at home on

Christmas morning.

A big surprise for Alex....
