Same Rock- New Generation

Our Family

Our crazy family

Our Babies

Their Babies

Cute!

Saturday we got together at the Mertlich Meadows and took a bunch of fun pictures. We thought it would be cool to have some pictures of the grand babies on the same rock their parents use to play on. Everyone had a good time, Luke even found a big pile of dirt to play in and was very dirty when we left. The girls had fun picking dandelions.

Brianna did an awesome job in her dance festival at the Tacoma Dome.

The whole performance was great! I did not get great picture though, you were not allowed to take flash pictures. We bought a DVD of the show, it will be fun to watch!

Luke, Jennifer and Anna Kate came with us, they enjoyed it very much.

See you in a week!

Brianna went up to visit at Jennifer's house last week, she has had a lot of fun hanging out with Jennifer and Anna Kate. They picked raspberries, made jam, went shopping and had fun playing at the park. I pick them up at the train station tomorrow at noon, Jennifer and Anna Kate are coming back with her so they can watch her in dance festival this week-end. We are going to try and get a family picture, on Saturday, It is a very busy day, so I am not sure how that will go.We always try and do one at Christmas, but it is so hectic then too, so we thought we would try something new.-We'll see.

Poor Brianna

Brianna had a check up today and was given 4 shots and a finger poke, we weren't expecting that, but they have added vaccines that are recommended for kids now. She thought that she might have to get a tetanus, but not FOUR shots, she was brave though, and they gave her some cool purple bandages and a pink wrap for her finger.

We could not resist to snap a couple pics of Mt. Rainier while we were there, The view from the doctors parking lot is beautiful, the pictures don't do it justice.

Sunny warm days

Brianna's Home

Brianna had a great time at EFY. She went the same week as her cousin, Brittany. She was in the "Tossed to and Fro Company". Brianna met a lot of fun new friends. It was a great opportunity for her to have a fun spiritual experience! But it is great to have her home!!

4th of July Breakfast

We went to our church for the annual 4th of July breakfast and bicycle parade, Luke was so excited for the parade that he did not eat much of his breakfast. We got Luke a bigger bike for his birthday this year, but he insisted on riding his smaller red one. It is a fun way to start the 4th. Scott always looks forward to riding with the kids and everyone else looks forward to seeing what kind of bike he will show up with each year. Brianna is still at EFY, we pick her up tomorrow morning (7am). It will be fun to have her home again!
