September 2012

One last camping trip to Fool Hollow. 

 Notice Chubbs laying on the boat ramp.

 My 3 favorite guys

 Love these 3!

 Caleb being super brave and still while Daddy gets a sliver out of his finger with his pocket knife.

 Oh sweet nap time

 Arizona sunsets are beautiful

 Walked outside to see Caleb on the neighbor kids bike. He had climbed up there all by himself! He was super sad I took him off but the bike was only resting on the side of the house.

 Jessa first time writing all the names in our family.

I got to go on a field trip with Justins 1st grade class to Mogollon Rim and Woodland Lake park. It is fun to see him in the school type setting with all his friends. 

 Saturday afternoon treats

August 2012

We left MT about 8:00 am and pulled into our drive 6:30 am the next morning. Which also happened to be Chads Happy #35! 

 Enjoying the last of the summer Monsoons

 And a few days later (August 9th) school started.

 This may be my all time favorite picture of the year!

 The joys of having an older sister.

 And Jessa started her 2nd year of Joy School

ALASKA! (part 1)

Chad and I left Missoula headed for Seattle and picked Riki and Levi up along the way in Spokane, WA. We got into town and thought we would go check into our down town hotel room. Once checked in we decided that we were all a little hungry but not wanting to eat too much before going to my sister Ambers for a BBQ we opted for a hot dog place close by. Everything looked really good but it wasn't until AFTER we ordered that we realized everything was VEGETARIAN! We all tried to enjoy or veggie dogs but most of us could not stomach them. Dinner at Ambers was much needed. 

Her face says it all.

My parents knew that we would be taking all 6 of us and out luggage down to the pier so they took out their back seats in the mini van. Look who drew the short straw:)

The boat

Pizza on the Princess

This was a very addictive game for some unnamed guys in our group. I only played it a couple times but this picture cracks me up.  I think the unnamed could have walked away from it had they not seen someone win $200 on their 4th try. 

This is how these 2 spent most of their time on the boat. Levi working and Chad having a treat and a Coke

We were upgraded to a obstructed view window. The window was bigger then we thought and we actually had not a bad view beyond the life boat. 

Ketchikan was beautiful(as was every part of AK). We spent our time here with a family friend of Riki and Levis. He was actually just in Libby the week before marrying those two crazy lovebirds:)

Of course Chad spotted a FS boat
