We spent some time with some dear friends this weekend and enjoyed a relaxing evening of grilling, chatting and general catching up with one another.

Tim did a great job as grill-master!

A.J. concentrated hard as he removed pieces from the Jenga tower. 

Nathaniel was the kiddo's hero, and they followed him around pretty much the whole evening.

Nathan did shockingly well with this game and made it right up to the end!

The girls took the opportunity to get a few pictures, as the weather was so nice outside.

Timothy got an updated picture as well.

The boys took out the plastic practice swords and got pretty intense with their "battle"

We were glad that Rick was able to come along with us for the day!


Luke was pretty sweaty after his sword practice!

Karisse and Lizzy.


One more picture of Nathan that I didn't post with his birthday pics.

My little sister Emily told me she needed a new profile picture and I was happy to oblige!

Our little Nathan turned four a few days ago and let me tell you, time flies!

It seems like yesterday that we were cheering him on as he took his first steps, and learned new words every day.

Now he is our little man that keeps us laughing with his many unique conversations and ideas.


We love you Nathan!

We had a great time playing laser tag with a group of our friends over the Fourth of July weekend.  Even though it was super hot outside, everyone gave it their best shot (no pun intended) and fought with great determination and courage. :o)

Reid, snipes from the hayloft.

Luke, ever watchful as he moves past an opening.

Matthew makes use of the trees as cover.

Is it me, or do they look way to cheerful to be holding sub-machine guns?

Like I said, much too happy. :o)

You guys made great teamwork happen!

Dad
Around here Dad is known as one of the best in playing Blokus! 

Dad has also taught his children to love music. 

How does one define Dad: Protector, Provider, Loving, Caring, Serving, Leader, ... and the list goes on. :)
Dad, thanks for setting such a good example for all of us. The most important thing of all, is you've taught us to love our Savior. Thank you for always making God real in our lives.
Happy Father's Day!
We Love You!

Working on memorizing this today for a Savos performance at the annual Fiddler's Festival, and I thought you might like to hear it.  Such a beautiful and strong blend of music!  I love it!

Our cousins stopped by last week for a visit with us and we enjoyed every minute with them!

Upon Jennifer's request that we go to a "wooden" park, we decided to show her our local park that is indeed, very wooden. :o)

Emily shot about half of these pictures with my camera, and I edited them all.  Just sayin that she can get some awesome shots now!  I love having siblings that can help out with the photography!


Oh, it's also a little bit rubber!

Molly, cute as a button!

These two will be getting married on the same day as Lizzy.  God bless your new life together as you serve Him!

My favorite red headed sister that is named Anna! :o)

Jenn and Lizzy

The three soon-to-be brides!

Luke, trying his hand at tennis

David pretty much killed us all at tennis with his fast serves and ball spin.

Lizzy's personal bodyguards.  (At least until she gets married.)

Team 1: Luke & Jenn 
vs. Team 2: David and Linnea
Wilson got hit around all over the place that afternoon.  Poor fellow!

It was quite a warm day, so we were thankful for the water spigots that were close by!

Lizzy's new cell phone cover from Rick.

Not sure what I was doing here, but I think I was trying to play tennis. :o)

The classic Luke smile!

Linnea serves it up.

We were definitely the number one, awesome, killer, very best, super-duper, cousin combo, ultimate team at losing!  Hands down, no questions asked. :o)
