Driggs Part 1 Summer 2018

 Phil and Ashlee hanging out in the kitchen. It was different this year in Driggs with my parents away on their mission. Robbi and Lance didn't come because they took a cross country trip with their family to see church history sites and church history sites. Nicki wasn't there because they had just moved to Japan. It meant we had different cousins hanging out with each other and so great. 

 Hiking up by Steph's with a million mosquitoes 

 Nona loved Oliver this trip. 

 Ashlee and Arliegh

 Cannon and Oliver had a few turns sleeping on the trampoline.

 Kate loved all the little ones. Her and Lauren worked most days, but would have out with us in the afternoons.

 Lily and Miya

 I took time one morning to go out to Marinda's and visit. She is so great and I love getting the chance to catch-up.

Young Women Hike

I was able to go on the "hike" the girls had to go on for camp certification. It was a beautiful evening and Miya was all about the funny poses in the train tunnel which never happens.

Family Pictures 2018

 So fun to see Cannon getting closer and closer to Phil's height. This boy is growing up to be such a handsome man, just like his dad.

 Nona loves earlobes so much and Cannon's are her favorite. It is fun that we caught her holding his ear in this amazing family picture. Jamie Pace is so talented and always does such a great job capturing beauty.

 I love my family so much and I love that we took these pictures on one of the many trails I run. Miya came from volleyball practice and Lyla came from cross-country and looked beautiful. We were teasing Miya about dating before she is 16 because a boy (senior) was picking her up to take her to the football game for ASB.

Nona is so loved around here. 

Cannon Tennis 2018

Cannon did a great job at Mann Middle School playing tennis this year. He was the district champ for boys singles. I really liked his coach and the time he took with the players. I love the team pictures of Cannon because it shows his personality so well. Everyone else is being crazy and he is half participating in the jump, but keeping it pretty serious.
Cannon started at Clover Park High School this summer because he decided to stay at HP for high school. We were hoping he could play at Lakes HS so he would be with Miya, but they didn't give him the approval. He was the only player for Clover Park HS and his coach, who was amazing and won state for girls tennis, was 80 years old. She got one of the graduated players from last year to come in and play with Cannon. Both Phil and I felt worried about Cannon traveling with just the coach in a van to each of the matches. We wanted him on a team so that he could socialize and make some friends. I tried and tried to get a change through the Athletic Directors and the Assistant Superintendent. We worked for months to get it changed, but could never get an answer. I finally went to the Interim Superintendent and got Cannon moved over to Lakes. They had 17 boys on the team. He had played one match for Clover Park and because he was the only player he had to play the number one varsity player and it was pretty ugly. He was excited to play jv at Lakes. I am hoping next year goes a little better because he can just start with Lakes and play all summer with them. He did a great job at staying positive and doing his best at making new friends on the team. I was super proud of him.

Filling Grandma's shoes

 These shoes were my Grandma Rammell's and I took them when we got to pick something of hers after the funeral of Grandpa Rammell. Nona loves playing in these shoes. I must say it makes me feel closer to grandma when Nona is clomping around the house in these. I love my grandma so much. She was such a hard worker and great example to me.
