In the past few weeks we have been able to hang out with a lot of family members! It is a great time of year to catch up with everyone.
We had an excellent visit with our Colorado family - the Gartners. It was a wonderful couple of days and Natalie and Michael cannot wait to spend more time with their cousins (-:
"The wagon riders" - Greta and Michael
Here is a picture of my mom, Eric, cousin Oregon Jeff, and Auntie Debbie during a recent retirement celebration (Dan and Eppie). It was great catching up with Jeff, Janell and especially Bryce! We cannot wait to see them again!
The highlight of the celebration was a 15 minute downpour which left nice puddles to play in. In this picture, you see Lizzie and Bryce playing with Natalie (and Uncle Ken admiring the mess).
Michael mowed the whole park with his new lawn mower- thanks Uncle Eric and Auntie Amanda for giving Mikie this lawnmower! It is getting very, very good use.
We were very fortunate to have a visit from cousin Taylor. We were delighted to hang out with her for a couple of days (at the MOA and underwater aquarium). Taylor, come again soon!
Michael is a big snuggle bug and quite the charmer. He has won over the heart of his Grammis. He lovingly gives kisses and hugs to make sure that his Grammi's still love him. Below is a picture with Grammi Pat.
I celebrated another birthday on July 4th. My mom had an excellent party, however, I don't have pictures. It was a wonderful day with all our family and friends.
Also, Uncle Eric, Auntie Amanda, and Lizzie stayed for a few days - it was a good time all around. Thanks for your help!
Once again, we look forward to seeing everyone again soon! Love you!
Summer time is family time (-:
