Happy Father's Day

We enjoyed getting to spend some time celebrating Dad. Both the older kids made him fun gifts from school and Kate worked on a card. I think we kept it a fairly low key day. Dad has been traveling a ton and we just enjoyed a little family time together.

This is the shirt I found for him. I love it because every once in awhile I will give him a certain look and he knows that means he has lost me.

Holland Slippers

 Grandma and Gram took an almost month long trip to Holland (they did a fun bike and barge trip and then did some touring on their own). When they came back we were all anxious to see each other so they came over before Jaydon had to leave for school. They brought the kids these fun 'wooden' shoe slippers. So cute. They had a marvelous time and highly recommend a bike and barge tour.

One Day

 Our church had a pretty cool One Day event. A day when we met for service at the nearby stadium and had a quick service before heading out to serve our community. My family did some weeding at a local elementary school but there were tons of projects throughout the city that people could be involved in, then we headed back to the stadium for hot dogs and an after party. It was a pretty amazing day.

Great Wolf Lodge

We used a groupon to celebrate a great school year with a quick one night stay at Great Wolf Lodge with friends. It was so much fun and we were so excited to be able to go and get a room next door to our friends so the adults could play games after we put the kids to bed. We really only had time for the water park on the one night trip but I anticipate we will try going for a longer visit another time to take advantage of all the other cool things offered.

We had a great time and will be back

We were just getting ready to leave so Kate was truly done with pictures.

I think we wore them out, everyone slept on the way home (except the driver of course)

Jaydon's Baseball Celebration

Jaydon had a blast playing baseball this year. He is a bit of a junkie - he will ask to play constantly and the Mariner's are his favorite team (unless it is Seahawks season then he struggles to pick one).

Banquet time, Jaydon got "Mr. Stats Guy" as his nickname. He could probably tell you his on base percentage and batting average for the season after any at bat.

He is already looking forward to next year when he will move up into minors.

Lucy's Gymnastics Show

The day after Kate's show we got to go celebrate Lucy's gymnastics year. She moved up half way through the year and her class is now really working on some bigger skills.

The fun with the character photo booth things

The video of her 3 skill areas (bar, beam and floor) were too long to post but she did a great job

Congrats Mini-Jets

Jaydon and Kate wanted to join the podium too

A few videos below, Lucy's introduction and then snippets from their opening song as a team

Happy Birthday Asher

Again I forgot my camera but took this one quick phone shot of celebrating Asher's birthday.
