NW Trek 2019

Fun to compare these pictures from 11 years ago. I can't believe how big my kids are and so fun to see how many pictures we had to take to get all the kids looking and holding Nona is place for the photo.

For the summer reading program this summer we decide to do NW Trek instead of the zoo. Nona loved it and it was fun to go with the Newville girls.

Summer Swim 2019

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 2019

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.

Framily Pictures 2019

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.

Combs Family Reunion 2019

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.
