Woodcreek Landing Block Party

Last Friday we had our annual neighborhood party. It was more low key this year but the kids still had a ton of fun. We started off by face painting and jumping in the bouncy house and then we had a delicious barbecue and then we played some minute to win it games. After all of that the kids watched G-force on a big screen with popcorn while the adults sat around a fire.

We are so blessed to live in such a great neighborhood where we know and are friends with almost all of our neighbors. We really love it here and I think we will be here for a very long time.......unless Sean's job moves us somewhere else:(

Kim and Julie come to town!

We were so happy to have Kim and Julie come visit us from Utah last week. Sean loves his sisters and I love them even more. We had a great time and hopefully they were able to have a little break from their craziness. (even though they came to our craziness!)


We went to Bremerton ans rode the ferry into Seattle. It was a lot of fun and it turned out to be a great day!

Brooke got a little upset when "Ant" Kim told her she couldn't have anymore crackers because her soup had more crackers in it than soup. She took her soup underneath the table and ate there.

We also went to Lake Tapps and played in the water. Julie and the kids had great fun swimming with the fishes. Kim and I watched from the side:)

(Don't mind the serious wedgie Brooke has!)

We were so grateful to have this little bit of time with Kim and Julie. They mean the world to us!

Banks Lake 2010

One of the highlights of our summer is going to Bank's Lake with a ton of friends. This year was no exception besides the fact that Sean was out of town and couldn't come. We still had a great time and the weather was perfect.

Plenty of playing on the launch pod:

Brooke taking her first ever ride on a tube behind the Egbert's boat. It was hard getting her off because she was having so much fun. She is with her friends, Kaylee and Riley!:)

The kids were allowed 2 ice creams each while we were here and they enjoyed them to the fullest.

Some of my Beautiful friends! Kristin, Laurie and Jaimee

Sometimes the kids were a little cranky after a full day of play and Caleb had enough after this long day!

Plenty to Kayaking around the lake:

One morning when it wasn't too hot we all went to a local Junior High and had a fun game of baseball. There was about 50 players and it was a ball!

Terrance brought his kite and the kids watched him fly it.

Yes, I look tired. This was a lot of work!

Connor got up on the wake board with any problems and had a blast. He is a pro now!

Cierra wasn't quite experienced but still managed to get up and have fun!

Brooke hanging out with her best buddy, Kaylee!

Kelsey always does all the girl's hair and Cierra is always first in line to get it done!

Late night talks!

Brooke doing what she does best...... Being cute!

No camping trip is complete without a night of smores!

more launch pod fun!

Brooke wishing me luck as I head out to ski.

I had a blast and was very sore the next few days. Jen got some better pictures with her camera so I may add those once I get them from her. This is all I had.

Cliff jumping is another favorite and we all love to do it.

Kaylee and Ashley:

Brooke jumping off the little 5 footer.

I, of course have to try it once or twice. It is a ton of fun!

Dave can do all sorts of tricks and it was amazing to watch him!!

Cierra attempted to climb the high cliff and had to be taking back down because she was too scared. I was so glad since I was watching from another cliff and couldn't yell loud enough for her to get down. Scared me to death. That girl isn't afraid of a lot of things!

Just before we left we did one last run on the tubes. The kids had a blast and I had a heart attack watching them! I had to be dropped off because I couldn't handle it and I was getting "boat" sick!

Kaylee flew way up into the air and landed like this!

They all re-surfaced! Phew!

Becky was so mice to take a little ride with Brooke. She was a little afraid after watching the big fall! Kaylee went along for the ride!

We had a awesome time and was sad to leave. We look forward to next year when we can do it all over again!
