Valley Fair with Maria and Kevin

Here is Mini at Valleyfair! All happy and full of smiles as always! It was a hot day but she did great and took both her baps while there!







Here is Matthew with Kevin in the foam ball factory! We had to show Kevin the joys of going in here you know!








Here Rose and I are up in the net walk way and looking down on Maria and Kevin! Maybe dropping balls on them! Not that I would do such a thing!!








Here is The Wave ride! Dennis and the kids went to stand in the fron there and guess what?! You get wet there! I stood back and watched. The kids love watching the wave come time after time!

Cabin trip

Peter dug out tree stumps and a big rock for the new back driveway to the shed. I did not see this as I spent the time in the cabin sick. We went up for our 10 year wedding Anniversary and Dennis and I both got sick. Not the best trip up there. Stephen got sick too as did Dad and Amy after we left.
But everyone is feeling better now and the work got done. I will have to go inspect it when we return from Oregon in August.

Maria and Matthew caught the big Northern of the trip! I did not see this either so it is a good thing there are pictures from the trip as I had no clue what was ahppening up there.

Kevin and Mini

Oh so little yet! And here she is 6 1/2 months and her little foot is so small next to Kevin's hand!

Kevin is getting some practice in for December! So he was holding Rose and they were so sweet together! She loved him right away and would sit as still as she sits for him!

And here she is next to his foot! I bet when she was born she was shorter then his foot!

It was so good to see Maria and Kevin again. But as always the visit got over way too fast! Come back to visit again soon you 2!! We want to see more of you all!

Matthew turns 3!!! Happy Birthday!!

Matthew turned 3 on 25 June!! Time sure passes quickly! He had to open his gifts then off to the soccer games. But he loves his golf set we gothim and his got another lawn mower to blow bubbles!

When Maria and Kevin got there they got him bubble things to to play with outside! He is in love with chasing all the bubbles! And now he has lots of toys to be able to chase away!!

Matthew and Mini at games

Here is Matthew peeking in on Mini under there taking her nap.

Here is Mini she fell asleep at the game on Sunday so we just tucked her into the chair pocket . She slept there for almost 2 hours! We even moved the chairs to eat lunch and she never wiggled! Got to love babies who can sleep anywhere!!

Samantha's last 2 games

Here is Samantha playing goalie! No clue what is is kicking so high for and I was there!! It is so funny to watch the little girls play after the boys! Her 2 games were on 25 June. They lost both of their games. But they played well and compared to our first this was great. Two games in one day was a lot for these girls though. The last game was more of a walking soccer game then running but they were out there trying away!

Here Samantha was still running like a champ! poor thing at the end was so tired she fell asleep in the car!

Our girls also liked to push! Poor Dennis was all over the girls and was not happy none of it got called. Even our girls were pushing and poor Dennis would yell but our coaches never said anything. Who knew it was the girls who would be all over each other!?

Stephen's last soccer games of season

Here is Stephen in his first game of the day. They had 2 on the 24th of June. Then each person got a little trophy for participating in the season.

We tied this game. It was against the boys we played with in our tournament a few weeks back.

Here Stephen is setting up for a penalty kick. It is during the second game. We won this one 5-2. I was glad to see the boys do well for their last games as they worked hard out there.

Here the coaches, Jason, Jason and Dennis talk to the boys getting them ready to swap in. I have no clue how they kept track of who needed to be where but no one ever got left out!! WTG boys!!!
