the manly sport of rubberband-airplane flying

Man she's cute, both mom and baby!

Me, Sarah, and Becky....o yeah Becky's pregant :). She's due in a few weeks! Go baby Hunter!

Jared and Beck got me some mike and ikes for my birthday, so I was gladly sharing with the kids who thought they would look really good all over my white frosted cake

Blair was on sparkler duty and the kids were keeping him busy asking "can I have two uncle blair?"!

Nomi and her sparkler

you see that taffy in Eden's hand? Well, being the aunt I am, I fed it to her piece by piece. of course she's got to have some taffy, its the fourth of July parade!!! psst... don't tell Katie

Baby Eden enjoying the fire works. Apparently she wanted to sit alone

This is Veronica's newest addition, Benjamin, who Tavie kindly named "Bean". He really liked Blair. He would back into him to have Blair pick him up. it was pretty cute.

Aunt Donna rocks, of course, and got us all sorts of fun things to play with. Here is Evan and Jared trying to teach Britton how to use the rubber band airplane. I tagged Sarah with it 3 times ( I have great aim)

Tavie and Naomi with sparklers. We started early with the fireworks. We had a lot of sparklers to burn through!!!

This is Thank you in sign language from our cute niece, Eden


we hope everyone is having a great summer, I know we are.
not the best picture, but a fun one!!

Pre-anniversary and James

My best friend James came to visit for one day and stayed for three! She lives in Seattle right now, which isn't too far, but she might come and stay the summer here in Spokane which would be fabulous!!! We had such a good time together.

HO Siren Gloves

Our Anniversary (2yr) is on June 16th, but Blair couldn't hide my present from me, so he gave it to me early. He was so excited to give me the ski gloves and the Ski. he said "Its a great ski, and its girly, just for you" it was really cute. He is so excited for me to ski in the mornings with him. He's really good, and I'm just learning. I rode on Kariann's ski last year and just loved it. So now I'm a ski"er"!

Wakeboarding and Water Skiing on Memorial Day

The wake is HUGE! Here are some pictures of Blair and Kevin. We all went to Lake Roosevelt and froze in 58 degree water on memorial day. Although there are no pictures of me (because I was playing photographer), I did wakeboard and I did freeze my butt off. burrrr

Here's Blair's best friend Kevin (he and Blair toughed out the freezin water)

Here's Kevin Again

Here's some serious air

Here's Blair's first attempt at a tantrum this season. Good form, but didn't get enough pop!

3 Wheelin

Alec riding with Connie (Grandma meme)

Here's Alec, He loved to ride that little 70. RC kept helping him

get over the little hill behind him.

Blair, Chad, Aaron, and Alec made the back property of the cabin a race way and had a lot of fun. It was fun to watch them, but Blair almost hit the shed (that twist throttle will get cha!)

Chad and Kariann's Cabin

Alec rode around for hours, it was great. He was very independent, but really loved racing around with the "big guys"
get ready!

Kyndra- she took out the pepsi can!

Kariann's first shooting experience and she tore it apart with the 357

Blair helped her a little, but she did just great by herself!

Reese helping me out. He also helped find clays that didn't get shot! saved probably 15 of them.

Here I go, I was kickin trash until round 2, then Blair caught up and beat me

Tribute to Avery!

I went to California last week as a suprise! it was so much fun. We went to Wicked, I read the entire Twilight series and got a little sun. It was fantastic. Here are some pictures from my trip. Mostly my beautiful niece Avery!!!

I'll put a couple more on later! Enjoy that happy smile!

The Things we do to wakeboard

success! we are soo excited to start the season!

snow, just exactly where we need to drive

yes, that is two saw horses, a piece of plywood, a stump, and a tire (can you say resourceful)

Last weekend Blair and I drove up to Sandpoint, ID to get the Malibu. It was up at Chad's cabin in a shed. We got up there and had to shovel snow to get to the shed. That didn't take long and we were well on our way to getting the boat out when disaster struck. Blair had to get the door high enough to get the tower out smoothly so in an effort to open it, it came of the tracks at the top. This is after we have spent 10 minutes just to pry it open. So we both stood on the boat, me with a piece of wood holding the door up, and Blair with a screw driver trying to jam the wheel back on the track. So that took a little while, then as we get the boat out and are trying to get the door closed, the wire gets all messed up. These are pictures of our efforts, trying to get it down, up, and every other which way.... But success we have the boat!!!
