sunday afternoon treat

Paul

someone has learned how to write his name. I went outside the other day and found all these attempts. Not bad for a 3 yr old:)

you can call him ulap

this one is just crazy, it's totally perfect in mirror. He must have put the bump on the "p" on the wrong side and figured he'd go with it.

meteor shower

Chris took the big kids out to big beef creek to watch the meteor shower. Everett saw 17 and Anna saw 11. Chris took some really cool pictures with long exposures. I'm loving them all!

Lopez Island

Lopez Island was always the favorite family reunion destination as a kid. We'd head up north every 6 years and enjoy the beautiful trees and water. Now I live in a place that looks a lot like Lopez. I was a little worried I wouldn't find it as beautiful as in years past...luckily it still has it's charm. Chris & I actually spent our honeymoon up here (10 years ago). We had so much fun just enjoying the property, kayaking, camping, fishing, hiking, agate hunting, and crabbing. Thank you Bumsteads for letting us come and stay!

Cub Scout day camp

Everett is now a bear. Which is pretty cool I guess. For a week in July he got to go to cub scout day camp. He had a lot of fun shooting bb guns, arrows, and making some cool alien crafts. Here's some pics from the last night at camp...the skits (that may or may not have gone on for way too long).

Gilmont Cove

I now serve in the primary presidency with some really fun girls: Rachel, Kanoe & Pat! For FHE the other week we went on a little hike to Gilmont Cove (Pat couldn't come...her husband just had both hips replaced). It was beautiful...the kids had a blast (until the hike out).

4th of July

We got together with the Thompson Family for the 4th.

Port Angeles. Pizza. Ping Pong. Dungeness Spit. Donuts. Forks. Falls. Fireworks. and lots of Fun.
