First Soccer Practice

Carson had his first soccer practice yesterday. For some reason I forgot my camera, so I took a picture when we got home of his new soccer shirt. He was very excited. He has practice every Thursday at 4pm and games every Saturday at 12pm starting Sept 6 at Bender Fields for friends and family who would like to come watch.

First Day of School Part II

Carson all ready for school! I had a few tears!

Getting off the bus:

First Day of School

Tomorrow is Carson's actual first day of school but today was LC's first day so all of my Grandma's great-grandkids that live around here gathered for "first day of school" pictures.
I will take pictures of Carson on his actual first day of school and post tomorrow!

A Cool Bike

A rare and cool site! There was a red light so I was able to take a picture as I was waiting to pull out of the Dairy Queen parking lot.

Lynden Rodeo

This weekend was the Lynden PRCA Rodeo at the Fairgrounds. I was on the Aid Crew Saturday night. It was an exciting Rodeo. Here are a few pictures, sorry they are a bit dark.

The Rodeo Clown:

NWWFair

I worked in the First Aid booth a lot at the Fair this year. We went to the Demolition Derby as a family, Roy and I had a date night at the Fair Tuesday night, and we took the kids Saturday to see the animals and Roy and Carson had tickets to see the Monster Truck show. For some reason I didn't take very many pictures. But I did get a picture of the kids on the hay for Roy's Mom, she likes us to do this as a tradition. My battery was dying and the kids were not wanting to sit still, so these are the best I was able to get!


Here they were smiling, but they were looking up at daddy.

Demolition Derby

Monday evening our family went to the Demolition Derby at the Fair! It was really good this year. The kids had a great time!

Before the grandstands filled up, I took a few pictures of the kids.


Gracie was having a hard time sitting still.

The result:


The car was so jammed under the bus they had to use a forklift to lift up the bus and push it away from the car.

More crashed cars:

Carson and Roy:

They also do a truck heat, there was a rollover! It was awesome!!!


The Main Event!

Company picnic at Hovander

Sunday afternoon was the company picnic for Roy's work at Hovander Park. They had someone who paints faces there, so, of course, the kids got their faces painted. Carson got a dinosaur and Gracie got a tiger striped heart.




They gave all the kids a bag of goodies which included bubbles. Here's Gracie blowing bubbles.

My Sleeping Beauty

Gracie was sleeping so sweetly with her stuffed animal under her arm.

I couldn't resist taking a picture!
