A Typical Sunday

Must make grass green

Notice Evan's centerfold (It's a puppy! Come on, People! What were you thinking?)

Grass still not green enough!

Speed Racer

Lake Cabin Vacation

Evan and Kate being pulled behind the boat in an Army tank and Barbie Jeep. They were yelling, "Yahoo!" the entire time.

Evan leaps into the lake.

Evan learned to ski this summer!

Another fun family weekend!

Quinault River Hike

Paul finally got me to go on a hike with him without the kids! We ended up hiking 22 miles in 3 days. Although we didn't get a far as Paul wanted, I am proud of the miles we hiked, especially considering my current physical condition. Paul was a real saint, putting up with my complaining and one giant hissy fit, complete with threats and hysterical crying. We had a great trip nonetheless!

We interrupted someone having a cool afternoon nap

Summer Fun

We had something called the "Wet Banana" when we were kids. I guess we can't call it that anymore. The "Slip and Slide" is a big hit this summer.

The 4th of July
