Sunny Weekend

Saturday:
Back yard fun....the sun was shinning and we had work to do on the back of the house so we all went out to enjoy the sun. I can't wait until there is nothing to do on weekends, but to enjoy our new yard. I'm a little scared of the river in our back yard so for now they can only go out if I'm back there. The new house they can run and play all day.

Monday morning Renee couldn't figure out why her arms were so itchy...I think this picture tells it all.

Silly girl the lawn was just mowed....All the girls did this then they were picking grass clippings out of their hair for the rest of the day.


Gabby showing of her youthful flexibility.


Thomas just needed to ponder. Lets do more of that OK Thomas....


Ethan looking all cute...but what is new.
Look at that hair....Jessica and I are in the big debate of weather to cut her hair for summer or trim it and keep it long.
Mikalah looking pretty.

We had a wonderful after noon in the sun. Ate hot dogs and chips and ran and played. While Doyle and Matthew hung siding on the back of the house. Not so fun for them, but at least they had lots of entertainment.....



Sunday:
We had our annual Ice Cream party with our neighbor Ruth. She goes out and buys all kinds of flavors for the kids to enjoy. We had it a bit early this year since we will be moving. Also a big factor was the sun was shinning and she wanted to take the opportunity when she could. We will truly miss our sweet neighbor Ruth. She has been the most amazing neighbor.

Then we finished off the weekend with Emaliee's
Seminary Graduation.
We are so proud of her for all her dedication and willingness to get up so early to go to "Church School" before her school day starts.

Sister Oja...we are so thankful you decided in July of last year to teach the students this early in the morning. They have truly loved every minute of it, even if sometimes they appeared to be sleeping. Your spirit has touched them and will carry them through to their next adventure in life.

The two 4 year graduates for Astoria Ward Seminary. Bronson has been such a great example to Emaliee and our Family. We are so greatful to have met him and watched him grow into a wonderful young man. We found out that he had his last Mission interview with the Stake President last night and can now turn in his papers to serve a Full Time Mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints As a family we drove to the Rainer building to meet up with all the youth in our Stake for a celebration of the accomplishment of these students. It was fun seeing all the youth from other Wards and eating cake. OK so the cake part was for my little kids. Even though they enjoy seeing there sister accomplish 4 years of getting up early for Seminary for them they couldn't wait for the cake to be served....
I don't know names and Emaliee is at school for her last 3 days of High School while I'm posting this so I will leave them unnamed.






We had a fun filled weekend, and enjoyed all the family, friends, ice cream, cake and SUN!!!!
