Activity Day Camp 2011

Quick week of swim lessons with Bonnie...and then Activity Day Camp!! Kassidy was excited to attend this year. We had so many fun classes!! Shirts turned out cute, girls had fun crafting, making music and just hanging out with good friends.

Happy Fourth!!

Quinton and Linsie stayed a while with us...celebrating the 4th of July and swimming, jet skiing, etc. etc. Quinton took a lot of cool fireworks pics, but I haven't unloaded them from my SLR yet.

A friend of ours told us about a nearby blueberry patch that we all went to pick at. Most of my girls didn't like eating them, but we all had fun picking them. Mainly because we were with friends. They worked hard and we came away with almost 10 lbs!! (They didn't even like the blueberry muffins I made, but do enjoy them in smooties.)

Kassidy's Baptism :)

We are ever so grateful for all of our family who were able to come and celebrate with Kassidy on her special day! Thank you for making the time to be with us.

Last day of school....and Kassi's B-day!!

A few photos from the last day of school and a fun beginning of summer party at Ted & Stacy's...

...and KASSI's BIRTHDAY!! She is lucky to have gotten a homemade birthday cake this year. (I didn't get around to making any for the other girls. Seems to be an ice cream cake type of year for us :) Kassi even had one up in Seattle too.) Her cousins from Utah were also able to make the festivities this year...so a lot of fun cousin time and swimming!!

Seattle...III

What an enjoyable day!! Especially for Ada & Andrew :) Started the morning with the grooms-men coming to pick up the bride...chinese traditions that the girls enjoyed being a part of.

After the temple sealing, we got to hang out at Mike & Amanda's for lunch and enjoyed their lakeside? view.

The reception was a hoot. Yummy chinese food and desserts. Girls got to dance in a ribbon dance, witnessed a fun version from Brian, James and Justin...and just hanging out with family!! LOTS OF FAMILY!!

CONGRATS TO ADA & ANDREW!!

Seattle...II

Our fun cousins from Arizona came to help "prep" for Ada & Andrew's wedding...combined with the Seattle cousins we had a blast!! Egg rolls, dipping fortune cookies and wrapping, cookies, treats, TOO MUCH FOOD!! Mikenna and Evie were best friends, along with Kassi and the boys...constantly outside digging up rolly pollys, and playing with Chili...Everyone enjoyed snuggling Maggie :)

We were able to take a break, or give the adults a break at the house from the kids, by going to the Pacific Science Center. We lost Daniel for a short bit...thus he is missing in the butterfly photo (bottom right) but he was brave and smart enough to find us...the shot of Kassi, standing with her back to me, by the dry "pond"...with her sisters in the background...is to show where she fell in after she slipped off the bottom step/tried sitting on the plastic chain, and screamed horribly as her back hit the side and then the bottom of the dry pond. Not sure if that made sense...

Below, more photo taking, the kids loved posing :) and then yummy chinese food at a new restaurant that someone took us to :)

Seattle...

To start off our Seattle "mini-vacation" we attended Linsie's ballet, The Little Princess. Linsie did a great job on stage and we enjoyed watching her perform!! Mikenna didn't quite make it through to last bit :)
