We had such a great summer here with friends and cousins and playing in the water. It has been so great to have Andra live next door and Aaron living with mom and dad had his kids every couple of weeks. Lyla and Nona were in heaven having so many kids around to play with. We also had a great couple of days with the jumpers and Kris even went one time and we loved jumping in off the dock when he landed in the water. I love summer so much and enjoy when my kids love being outside and with everyone.
Blackberry picking with Nona at Ft. Seilacoom Park while Miya was at volleyball camp this summer. Nona loved being out picking and we got enough for a blackberry crisp when we got home. She even got to feed some ladies dog a blackberry which was the highlight of the outing.
Jamie did our family pictures again this year. They turned out great, but I love these pictures she took of our framily (friends/family) since she was doing the Dahlke's family pictures at the same time. It is so great to have such amazing people in our circle and supporting us in raising these kids. I love all their kids so much and am so grateful my kids get to grow up with theirs.
We had a great couple of days down south hanging out with all of Phil's family. We stayed in some old firefighter barracks that worked great. All the kids had a bunk bed in the main sleeping area and then the adults had tents around outside. We went to the Ape Caves, zip-lined, played games, had a rocket building competition, ate a ton of food and spent very little time sleeping.
Katrina and Ethan had come into town to stay at the cabin for work and we got a ton of snow. We couldn't get out of our house and it was around for days. Nona and Miya had the flu so spent some of the time in the house sleeping and tried to get outside to enjoy some of the weather for as much as they could stand.
