Finally some Summer

These are a couple pictures from a few months ago when we had to dig and install a new water pump. I am not even going to ask my Dad what it costs, but we did what we could, Alan dug and worked furiously, and i took pictures (but it isn't my fault, they won't let me even touch a tool! hmmm, i wonder why...so maybe I have broken a tool or two, but it is my opinion that tools really should be made much better!)

There is a little boy climbing around in the dirt in every one of my pictures! He loved it and asked if we could keep the giant, long 'Army hole' across the driveway forever.

And poor Grandma, Alan even made HER work and dig!!! Can you believe it?!?!?!?

Just joking, she wanted to help

Easter time, obviously it was a short hunt based on the number of eggs they both have

Later that day...at the community hunt (the kids like this one because these eggs are full of candy - I like it too)

Emmy making some new friends - some friends of ours from Multnomah now have 3 boys!

Our wonderful family from Idaho came for a visit...there are many more pictures, I just couldn't choose


Mothers Day in the park 2010 so thankful for a warmer day so we could get Grandma to the park too!

Isaiah has now played his first year of tball. Kinda cool his field is the same field that I played tball and softball on for 10 years. This picture is on our way to his first game

Champions at the parade - the after school program we began going to. The local church does it for outreach to the local public school. Our kids seem to love it and it is about the only thing there is to do here in Brinnon so we were glad to find it!

More friend time

Emmy being cool like her Mommy (yeah right)

She said to me today "Mom, will you put my stuffed giraffe in the mail box and send it to someone else because I am too grown for animals that I have to hold up!"

Ballet - I am so sad that our camera couldn't catch these girls doing their dance. I was also video taping all this time too so I didn't do either very well. Emmy is the one farthest away from the camera, but facing it.

Now her back is to us...at least the video turned out a little better

Tball for Isaiah

What a group! (there are actually 6 missing) Wouldn't you like to be their coach??? :) I didn't, I said I will just watch from back here this time

Isaiah had such a great tball season...and next year our kids have hopes that they will get to be on the same tball team, probably the only time ever because tball is for 4-6yr olds. They can't wait!

Finally, a river day! Just look at the smiles.

The sand is actually the only warm place

Alan kept hiding from the camera, but Pete placed himself in many shots - I love dogs, but I don't love to share my towel with them and Pete is very snuggly and loving when he gets a chance
