Sunshine at the Park!

Enjoy the Photos of our summer fun!




Playing in the park is one of David's favorite things to do! He also loves playing with the hose and sprinkler in the back yard... but due to my concern for the camera I try to keep it away from water :)

Summer Fun :)

We have been having lots of fun enjoying family and sunshine this summer. First there was the Go Forth Celebration in Longview, followed by a great camping trip at Wallace Falls State Park.

A minor setback in the festivities included a 24 hour flu bug that hit David, Jan and Jonathan, plus some friends of our that came to join us in the fun, David was a trooper and seemed to have fun despite the bug, and when the fireworks ended, he said "more, more!"

The camping trip was tons of fun, David still had a cough, but he took his naps and slept well despite his less than ideal state. It was crazy hot, but the cabin we had was great and the river ice cold- which was fine with us! The hike was a hard one, but well worth the effort... the falls were stunning :)

The weather stuck around after we arrived home and David has enjoyed playing in the kiddie pools, with sidewalk chalk, and he learned how to spray us with the hose- which is both hilarious and annoying.

I hope ya'll enjoy the photos and we can't wait to see everyone soon :)

PS.... sorry about the lack of wallace falls photos, but I can't get them uploaded for some reason... I will keep trying though!

Laura and Reuben Powers

We had a WONDERFUL time celebrating the sacred union on Laura and Reuben. I am happy to welcome Reuben into the family. Enjoy the Pictures :)

Bachelorette Party!

Laura's Bachelorette party was a smashing success- kudos to Teresa for some awesome planning!





Laura is getting married!

So we had a lot of fun on her "last hurrah"





Brian got his last date with Laura...
and she shared him with the rest of us ;)





So we got all dressed up and went for pizza a bowling- lots of fun!
Afterwards it was back to Laura's empty apartment for more fun and games... not to mention Daiquiri's! Laura dissed Brian and embraced forever her new man- Reuben.

David Plays the Drums :)

We had dinner at my parents house last night, David and I went over ahead of time to hang out with "mpapa" We made lasagna and David played the drums... he had a blast!
Enjoy and God Bless!

David has something on his mind...
