EAT MOR CHICKEN

I don't know how many years we have gone to Cow Appreciation Day but we love it..and we almost missed it this year. It should be called Mom Appreciation Day since I don't have to make or clean up dinner:)

Bird Brain

This dog...always watching for birds.

Fisherman

This boy loves to fish. Dad took Nathan to a hatchery this time so we could eat his catch since nobody knows how to clean a fish yet. Maybe someday I will learn...

Harvey Cedars Or Bust!

We love this place, every single one of us. Lydia has been asking Dad to go back since Christmas. We had such a great time, God really blessed us. Great family time, kids had a blast with the friends they made (Lydia is even writing to hers), great teaching for me and Daddy and the kids programs were great also, beach time jumping waves and collecting shells, ice cream, late nights, talent show, fireworks all across the bay, and absolutely no cooking!

Before 4th of July Celebration

We were able to visit with the cousins for a bit in-between camp and Harvey Cedars. The kids had a great time on this hot-hot summer day.

Victory Valley Camp

The kids were brave and excited to attend Victory Valley Camp overnight for a whole week (a great thank you to Grammy and Poppy)! This was a first for them and for Mom and Dad and we all made it through. The kids had a blast and said they were only homesick at night. Lydia got to do horseback riding and Nathan spent a good bit of his time at the pond fishing and kayaking. They came home with fun camp songs and great memories and both of them are looking forward to next year!

Bowling

For 16 weeks this past winter and spring, these 3 young men took bowling classes together. Their coach Mr. Gene, pictured here, patiently and consistently taught them the ins and outs of proper bowling technique. Mrs. Inglin watched these guys work through high games and low games, to be humble and ask for help, and to do their best to apply what wisdom Mr. Gene taught. Good job Team Jericho! You certainly did make those pins come tumbling down!

Swim Team

These two joined the swim team this year and they love it! They are learning how to do the back stoke, free style, butterfly and the breast stroke.

Dove Dancers

I loved this opportunity that Lydia had this year to dance in this ministry for Jesus. She did a great job at there year end performance. I'm so proud of my beautiful little girl!

Nae

My favorite song for him...."You Drive Me Crazy"

Back on the Boat

First canning trip in a while. We had a great time until the end when we broke our windshield but I won't talk about that. Amber did great on her first trip. All she did was lust after the birds on shore.

 Nathan Kayaked and fished the whole time. I wish I had a close up of the inside of his boat...all boy!

Fun at the Games

We have really enjoyed watching Nathan at his games and they are coming to a close. He learned so much and was even able to pitch a couple times. He is waiting patiently to play again this fall.

Fieldtrip

We were able to travel on an old railroad. This is how the kids in the 30's would travel to school. It was a great day the kids just wished the train would go.a little faster.
