Busy Weekend!!

Adam and Aaron have been begging to have their room painted and rearranged..... so we all spent the whole weekend working on their room. We let them pick out their own color and move their bed anyway they wanted!! Here are some before and after pictures!! We are not done yet.... we are going to IKEA tomorrow to get some shelves and other decorations. Should be fun!!

News from Grammy

Hi everybody!!! I think this is the coolest thing!!!!! Thank you Kristi for setting this up!! We are getting ready for the big trip and getting very excited!! Tandi and I spent 2 days in Seattle to do her school shopping, we had a very good time!! It was intense, but she is an organized little girl and she had her list and her money and we just went for it. Grammy wants everyone to know, I am open to go with any of my grandchildren to shop or sew or go, I would have fun doing whatever anybody wants to do. Time is not always on our side but if you want to do something with your Grammy, we will work it out!!
I will check out our blog everyday, so send in all your news! Love you all, Mom or Grammy

PS My next project is going with Caroline to find the perfect pattern and fabric for her First Communnion dress! Won't that be fun!!!

Thanks Sis for taking us river rafting! The boys and I had such a great time.
We plan on coming back to do it again one more time before school starts.
You are the best KK!! We love you.

THIS IS SO COOL!!

Have fun
Pick one day to go to Northwest Trek http://www.nwtrek.org/page.php?id=330
Pick one day to go to Mount St. Helens
We did not want to pick an exact day, because if it is really hot, we would rather hang out by the lake.
It is not mandatory that everyone goes on these two adventures, if you rather stay at the campground, you are more than welcome to do so!

We are going to try to go golfing one day, but this is iffy, if you have room to bring your clubs, please do!!

Canterbury sisters do the 100 yard race!!

Things to bring;
Swimsuit, beach towel and suntan lotion/sunscreen - there is a nice lake at the campground
Inner tubes and or air mattress or water toys
Bikes - there is a dirt track for the kids
Scooters
Rollerblades
Lacrosse sticks
Card/board games
Golf game - Dad
Bocce ball - Kim and Kristi
Horseshoes - Kelli (there is a horse pit right by Tom's campsite) I will bring some horse shoes.
Lawn chairs

The weather forecast says it's going to be HOT!!!! So don't forget your sunscreen!

FYI - Mark is turning 50 years old Tuesday the 12th. Let's remind him that he is 50 that day!!!!

It is cool that we are so fortunate that every single person will be able to be here this year! Wahoo!!!

We are so lucky to have a family that loves each other enough to take time off from their busy lives and to slow down and spend time with each other, so let's have fun with each other, be happy and respect everyone's unique personality.

LET'S MAKE HAPPY AND FUN MEMORIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
