She's better than me

I'm sure it not the first or last time I'll say this.
Naomi captured some great images of Luke & Ava.
I'm going to have to hand her the camera more often!

We Heart Company

Last weekend we had the pleasure of hosting the MacAdam Family... I think Josh and the girls spent at least 10 hours in the kiddie pool... Leah joined them for a while too! I totally forgot to get the camera out. Grrr!

MacAdams you have to come back so I can take pictures!

Its a tradition. Here's 2005 and 2006 and 2008. I have no idea what happened in 2007!

This weekend we hosted our friends Glen, Annette & Joel, plus Ginger & Cinnamon. The guys had a great time gold panning and dredging. We all went sleding at Bunny Flat on Mt. Shasta and the Rowe Family met up with us. Yes, snow sledding at the end of May in 8o degree weather. Check out YouTube for the videos. It was great!

6 Months Old!

Within the week around Luke's 6 month birthday he has

started to roll both ways

got a tooth (bottom left)

started drinking from a bottle

"talked" (love that "da da" babble)

He's a sweetie with a killer smile once you get past the sceptical look. We're delight to be able to watch him grow and guide him in the ways of the Lord!

Mother's Day

Not sure why I'm so blessed to be the mama of these wonderful children, but I am thankful!
We spent a wonderful day with my Mom & her husband Tex, my brother Doug, Jill & Koen (the super cute 1 year old above), and my Grandma Ardis. Oh, and I can't forget the hugely popular puppy Gracie. What a great day!

The Flower Girl

My cousin Ellyce got married to Vidal. Naomi LOVED being the flower girl and my gorgeous sister Susan was a bridesmaid. Naomi was all business and did exactly as she was instructed.

Walk down the midde, check.

Smile, check.

Hold the flower ball in front of you, check.

Stand next to Stephanie, check.

She wouldn't even take her fancy shoes off to play afterwards. She loved that fancy dress!

Thanks for letting us be a special part of your wonderful wedding Ellyce & Vidal!

Here's some videos of the princess:
