Cub scout camp!

Andrew and the boys went to cubscout day camp this past week-Here is Parker messing around with some older scouts.

Parker making a secret box.

Parker is a good wheelbarrow!

Parker is trying to fish. We do not fish much.

Zachary liked archery!

Zachary is learning to put out a fire with an extinguisher. Fun !Fun!

Zachary enjoyed scoop ball!

Both boys had a good time at camp. This year was Parker's last year for Cubscout camp.

I know he will miss it. But he is excited to move up to 11 year old scouts.

In the Paper

The boys have been at cubscout daycamp this week. A photographer from the Tri-City Herald took a picture of Zachary! He was on the front page on Thursday, June 18th.
We went to Albertsons that day and he said to me, "What if some one recognizes me?"
Zachary loved his moment of fame.

Fun boat ride!

Saturday we took the kids on the boat. It was cloudy for most of the afternoon but it did not rain.The boys like to sit in the front, but when it got cold they moved to the back.

Jessica invited Amanda to come along.


The boys are looking pretty cool with their water guns. They enjoyed squirting the guns while the boat was in motion and getting us all wet.



We had not been this far on the Snake River.

What a beautiful river!
We decided to turn back when we realized that we could not call anyone if we had any problems. No cell reception out here!

We are pulling Samantha, I think, and her friend Maddie.

We all had a great afternoon!

Samantha party!

Our lovely Samantha turned 13 over the weekend!!

She is getting old look at all the candles!
The cupcakes were very yummy!



She had a few friends over. They played games, Pictionary, RockBand and Killer Bunnies!

Samantha has turned into a beautiful young lady!

Braces off!

Jessica got her braces off today! Here she is walking down the red carpet!
She is so happy to have them off!

Fun weekend!

We went on a hike this past weekend- the trail is called Iron Goat Trail.

The trail is a few miles past Stevens Pass. The kids had a fun snowball fight.

Their was so much water it ran off the top of the snow barrier.

No one wants to get wet, we really did ,it was getting hot.

The waterfalls along the trail were beautiful.

We were in Leavenworth,WA, A cute, little swiss town. I love taffy.



An Art show was going on. They had entertainment for the kids.

Parker made it to the top.

Zachary had a good time!


There was a cool hat shop. Samantha makes a scary Medusa.

We played golf. A beautiful waterfall was near the end.


We are getting ready to play golf!

The hotel had a neat pool. What a beautiful mural.
