Thank you John for the pictures!

This past weekend we had John (one of Matt's BYU Roommates) and Stephanie up from the Tri cities. John is a fantastic photographer and was kind enough to snap a few pictures of the kids for us during the weekend. I can't choose a favorite so I am going with the shotgun approach!

Super fun weekend with the Goodys up in Sandpoint. We hit the 4th of July parade, the fireworks, and lots of fun times on and in the water.

 

 

 

 

Papa's birthday

We celebrated Papa's almost 60th birthday with a pug 'ugly' cake. It is a good thing that I was able to start with a subject that looked like the cake! (thanks to the memory of Winston!)

 
 
 

Emily's visit

In June Matt's sister Emily made the journey to Spokane. We had a great time with her and her kids. What could be better than seven kids under the age of nine in a boat?

 
 
 

Kansas City

We had a great time with the Larsens in Kansas City. Our kids still want to go back and 'play toys' with the extensive Larsen collection.

 

 

 

 

The long Spring

Spring took a long time this year in Spokane. But we had a great time at least enjoying not having any snow.

 

 

 

Jake had his first ride on the airplanes at Riverfront Park. He loved it until his sister decided it was time to 'fly'. Notice there are no pictures of the plane in the air!
 

Gabby had a very special Mother's Day suprise for me at preschool. The kids made lunch and served it to all the moms. It was really a fun day.
