Lookin' Back at Summer

Despite some pretty wet weather and some long hours at work for John, we managed to still fit some fun into summer time. Here's a look back at some of the hi-lights!

It can't ve summer without some baseball. This was our first Corvallis Knights Baseball Game and boy the kids have a good time!

The big event for the summer was an 8 day trip to Vancouver B.C.

where we rented a house with my parents and John's mom. On our way home, we broke up the long day of driving with a stop in Seattle at the water fountain near the Space Needle

Mt. St. Helens

China Town - lots of things to look at!

We also decided to give our house a facelift with a new coat of paint. We still have the trim and the garage dorrs to do, but it's gettin' there

My good friend Ava and I decided to wrap up the summer with a night of cabin camping at Silver Falls. Yup- just us two moms and seven kids. We had a great time!

John came up for a quick hike befor heading back home

Nothing like a summer fort

After Caleb's skute bike broke at our church camp-out, he had no choice but to learn to ride his brother's two-wheeler - GO Caleb!

Hey, remember us?

Where or where have the last 3 months gone? Rest assure they have not been wasted, nor have they not been forgotten....they have simply been very full. I have about a thousand pictures on my camera waiting very patiently to find their way to their proper place on my computer, and some will even make it to the blog. I hope to get to them very soon, but in the meantime, I wanted to share with you some wonderful pictures that our good friend KamBria took of our family in February. Enjoy and I promise to move "picture organization" up a little higher on my To Do list =)
