Hole in the wall.......

We have been working on finishing the basement.............during the process we had to cut a hole in the wall thru the garage to get to the crawl space for the wiring..........the boys (yes, including Seth) and Macey thought is was fun to play in the hole in the wall!!!

Boys will be boys.......

Waiting for the school bus......

First day of school - 2009!!

Jayden and Dylan are very excited for school this year............Jayden is starting 6th grade (can you believe it middle school - already...wow) and Dylan is starting 1st grade (no big bro at the same school anymore)!! Catching the bus at the house vs. daycare - they are such big boys (and so adorable)!!!

Dylan's 6th Birthday!

Dylan had celebrated his 6th birthday twice........once with family and another with friends........

We had cake and ice cream and opened presents with the family.......


Then the next day he had some friends over (unfortunately it was a cold day in August and we didn't get to play on the water slide) for ice cream cake, presents, and a pinata!!!!! All and all it was a wonderful birthday!!

A day of fishing!

On our way home from camping at Granite Lake the boys went fishing at the damn. We also stopped at the Brundage Reservoir and let them do a little fishing there as well........




Mom and Macey are relaxing while the boys fish...............

Camping @ Granite Lake

We are relaxing after a late night setting up camp, then we had several deer eating right at our camp.........Christina didn't sleep a wink (she thought they were going to eat her, since they were eating right outside the tent near her head - silly girl)..... We are getting ready to go on a hike!



Here are several pictures from a long nature hike.............we all enjoyed the walk and scenery........even Macey (however, she was extremely worn out).........

The boys enjoyed some time swimming............



All in a days work (Seth is making sure we will be warm this evening).......

The deer were literally coming right thru our camp the entire weekend (creepy yet fascinating)........... We all had a wonderful time in the beautiful country of Granite Lake - we'll definitely go back!!
