Silver Creek Falls

I got home and found some really cute pictures from our camping trip. I also had to post Mom's amazing football video! Enjoy!

Here are some photos from our Memorial Day celebration at the Wolthuis' tree farm.

Thanksgiving Memories

Hey guys-- I love seeing Colby's picture but it would be nice to see a few more the next time!

Here's a couple from our last Thanksgiving.

MOM

Colby's New Haircut

Colby decided to have her hair cut because if you have long hair in the baptismal font, your hair will float up. And if you have short hair, your hair won't.

4th of July

We had a nice time here in Provo for the 4th of July. We missed being with everyone. The kids especially missed the swimming. We had all the gang over at our house: Nancy, Tupous, Weights, Tuitupous, and Orozcos. It was a fun evening of eating, playing, and fireworks. No one stuck around this year to watch the Stadium of Fire, so it was just us five camped out in the street. (We only took a few pictures)

Ten Days of Fun

From the Roderick Reunion in Idaho to Skamania Lodge to a fun 4th of July weekend with the family....here are a few photos of good times. Two dates for you all to remember: August 27th-- Macy's Blessing Day, followed by checking in at Sunriver and Oct 11th-- 70th Anniversary party in Eugene (with family photos). We'll talk more about that at Sunriver.

Chad leaves early Tuesday morning--and his family is anxiously awaiting his arrival (oh, and Disneyland, too).

We will probably have a new driveway next time you come. Have a great week, everyone!

New Macy Pics

Here are some more pictures of Macy. She's changed so much in the past 5 weeks, and it's so hard to choose the cutest pictures, so here are a whole bunch we've taken. By the time you all see her at Sunriver, she'll probably look totally different again. She's turning into a little chunk -rolls on her thighs and a double chin.

1 week old (showing team spirit)

Nearly 2 weeks old (she found her thumb!)

Kyle's family update

Summer is finally here in Sherwood. It took a while. Jen and the kids have been going non-stop since school got out June 11. Swim lessons for everyone last week and this week. They are all getting to be great swimmers. Kinsley and I went on the daddy/daughter campout last weekend and we rode our bikes onto the ferry across the Willamette River. Kinsley is a good camper and an outstanding smores chef. Caden had basketball camp and finished up his baseball season by striking out the side. Now Caden starts soccer practice today. Quinn has been trying out his new skateboard, but I think he likes wearing the helmet and the elbow, knee and wrist pads (body armor) as much as he likes skating. Quinn is getting really tall and really fast. Cameron’s birthday is Sunday and he chose fruit, baked potatoes and broccoli for his birthday dinner. Cameron keeps us laughing with his jokes, songs and super-hero outfits. Jennifer has the house, yard and garden looking great. She has been keeping a hectic schedule with all of the kids’ activities, primary president work, soccer coaching and organizing summer education time for the kids. She is amazing. We are looking forward to July and all the fun!

Logan and his tonsils

Logan had his tonsils removed on Tuesday. He has done remarkably well. Today was the first day he did a little complaining. Other than that, you wouldn't know anything happened. He has been eating a lot of popsicles and ice cream. Vanilla milkshakes have been the best thing so far. Colby was worried she might have to get hers out, but she's now convinced herself that she won't have to go through it.

Here are a couple pics:
