Summer Time!


My oh my, I love Seattle summers!! The weather is gorgeous, and we just want to spend all day outside. Love, love, love it!

We've had a fun, busy summer so far, and there's still a lot to do. Here are some somewhat random pictures illustrating some of the goings on over here.


Here are the guys...Justin, Spencer and Jeff (nice face, Jeff!).



Here's sad Charlie with his injured foot. And he's wearing Weston's sock.

Hike to Twin Falls!











We got to take the older kids to a pre-screening of Despicable Me 2



Kid's Day in Auburn!












We had the Millerbergs stay with us the night before they moved to Utah. We had to do smores! We miss you Millerbergs!






Strawberry picking!





Lindsey making her "star watermelon kabobs"




We love swimming in the back yard!





Charlie decided that the towel was the warmest spot!

Love this messy face!




Weston is getting too big already.

The Last Days of School



The kids have enjoyed school this year, and they're all sad to leave their teachers and their friends. But I think we're all ready for a break and some summer fun!


Brandon and Katelyn created this cool castle with the neat magnetic building blocks Justin brought home from work for the kids. They love them!



We went to Katelyn's graduation from kindergarten. She's grown so much this year!



They sang 2 songs and said a poem and she smiled like this through the whole thing.



Very proud girl!



And here are the big kids with their carpool friends Makayla and Karissa on the last day of school. They're DONE!!! Here we come summer!




We love Mrs. Krause! Brandon and Lindsey have both been so lucky to have her!



Lindsey will miss her!



And Brandon has done great in Mrs. Cavalieri's 4th grade class. He has become a super reader, and I'm so happy for him! Can't believe he's ready for 5th grade!!
