Birthday Boys

Having the boys birthdays pretty close has been fun!  Damon had a Minecraft themed party, and Will had a balloon themed party.  It was a lot of fun and I can't believe my oldest is 10!!

William had his door with balloons hanging down from his bedroom door and he loves running through his "tunnel" :)

Back to School

And the fun is over... time to go back to school!  The kids are very excited and doing well in their classes.
Damon is in 4th Grade and Kylie 2nd.  Will is going to have preschool with his mommy... we'll see how that works out! :)

Ty's Baptism

We had a fun trip up to Idaho to visit our cousins and see cousin Ty get baptized!  We caravaned with Aunt Kate and had a great time catching up with the Porters.  Way to go Ty!!

Cub Scout Camp

Bob and I were called to be in the Cub Scouts this spring and what a new experience this has been for me.  It has been a wonderful experience for Damon to have his Dad in scouts with him and they had a fun Scout camp with all the fun things boys like... sticks, guns, archery... guns... :)

Sonja makes me Smile!

Sonja is such a fun little girl, and so neat to watch her grow.  She turned 1 this July, and has been doing some big things this summer.  She learned to crawl, then walk, she's even starting to say "No, No!" "mama" "dada"  she is just a joy in our home.  She cracks us up when she says, "cheese" for the camera!

Before she could walk on her own Damon would carry her.

Sonja has a special love for her Damon

So proud she got them all off!

First day in Nursery and she knew how to clean up

Nursery snack time came so natural to her! :)

A witch and her flying monkey.... "Cheese"

Summer Camping with Bradshaws

It seemed like this summer was just filled with fun days that we had a hard time getting everything in before school started.  We finally got a fun camping trip with the Bradshaws before school started.  Enjoyed letting the kids run around, roasting marshmallows and hot dogs, and just staying up late to chat with dear friends.

Summer Fun!

We had a really fun and busy summer.  We also went to California with Bill & Deana which was amazing (photos are on our phones... I'll grab them later)  Here's what we did close to home!  Besides all the Seven Peaks days (I never had my camera at the water park).
