Birch Bay

We were invited by Roy's family to Birch Bay yesterday afternoon. We stayed until shortly after dark. Then we went to the Van Cleve's as well as the Criss family and sang hymns. They talked me into playing the piano for them. It was a good time!

BBQing with friends

Saturday afternoon we went over to some friends house for a barbeque. We played badmitten, bocci ball, crochet and ate lots of food!
The kids love going over there. They have a really cute playhouse in their back yard and lots of yard to run around it.

First Soccer Game

Carson had his first soccer game today! He was so excited! Carson did very well for his first time playing on a team! They won 4-0! :)

Picking Apples

Our apple tree is very full right now, so Roy went out to pick them.

Carson wanted to help.

I guess the truck made a better ladder than an actual ladder.

Soccer Practice

Carson had his second soccer practice yesterday. I remembered my camera this time!





Gracie wanted me to take pictures of her too!



Gracie and Me!

Lynde' 500

Labor Day is Soap Box Derby day in Lynden. We walked down and watched for a while. Here a few pictures I took.

Cougar's Football

This past weekend my Mom and Major took us to the Cougar's Football Game at the Qwest field in Seattle. For those of you who don't know, we call my Mom's husband Major and he is the biggest fan of the Cougar's I've ever met!
We left Gracie with Roy's parents and headed down Friday evening and stayed until Sunday afternoon. The game was Saturday at 12:30pm. They ended up losing but it was still a lot of fun. Here are some pictures of the day of the game.
Here is Carson right after putting on his tattoo. He's the only one who wanted it on his forehead.
