October

Got some free tickets to Mercy Me from Praise 106.5 … AWESOME!

Pumpkins & Apples – a great season for fruits & veggies…

Ryan – box night…Nate really enjoyed chasing his sister around…

Vandenberg cousin gathering – the boys listening to coach during the playoffs. 

August & September Combo

August

On our way down to Belfair – our yearly Norman Reunion spot – we stopped by Cabelas…and hung out with Pastor John & Willy in Salem!

Okay, Oregon is not on the way to Belfair, WA – but it was close enough – great to catch these two before heading back north.

Once in Belfair – the usual occurred:  mussel search & splashing!

Had to get all the cousins – and the whole gang for family fotos.

Then the Richerts came north and hung with us – we enjoyed our newest nephew/cousin:  Jack!  Went to the NW WA Fair…

Kaleigh got to work with a tall cowgirl…whilst we got massages.

September

School starts – Allison to LC & the rest of the kiddos in LA.

Soccer season is in full gear – for K and A…and the boys as well.

September is birthday month – first Ryan – the teenager!

Then Amy…my young wife.    N wanted to wear my shoes & hat.

June & July Combo

JUNE

So, I have fallen a bit behind on my blog – it’s been such nice weather, what can one do?
  
Great to visit with the Steigers when they “swung in” from Iowa.
  
Visitors from Alberta & Ethiopia too.  Great times!

Celebrating Oma’s 94th birthday…even Nate gave Great Oma a kiss.

Oma’s birthday (age not to be revealed) – celebrating at Cora’s.

Summer fun has begun – a visit to the Loewen’s & Amy drinking POP!

JULY

    
Lots of barbequing and popsicles – someone really likes popsicles…

Thanks to some friends of the Haans, we had our first fireworks experience on the 4th of July.  Usually, I avoid them like the plague.

First time to Mount Baker in early July.  Fun to enjoy the snow yet be nice and warm from the summer sun. 

So fun to see the kids enjoy our endless days of sun…fun times!

Our little guy was lots of fun during the day (let’s not talk about nights). 

Celebrated 16 years of marriage…
    
Picked a few blueberries – early this year.  And our figaro boys…

Happy Birthday, Brendan!

A final hoorah before August – our Life Group day at the Lake.
