Tyler on his first day of Kindergarten. His brother stole his backpack and toted it around for him. Tyler actually had orientation this day and didn't start until the next day.

Jeremy on his first day of 3rd grade. He was already in class so we had to sneak a picture through the window. He is in a class of first, second, and third graders, so top dog this year!!

After we went around the lake - the boys decided to go swimming. Jeremy Jr found 2 of his friends from his school class and they all went in.

On the 25th, we decided to go for a walk around Deep Lake. You can walk all the way around. Its a nice little nature trail about a mile long. Here is Jeremy and Dylan by the lake. We usually take our boat to this lake and troll around, but just a hike today.

And Tyler too!!

Jeremy and Tyler have been begging to take their bikes to the bike park. Its just a bunch of hills. The older boys can actually jump them. So, here is Jeremy trying to get over the hump. They went to slow at first and couldn't make it over, but once they did it - there was no stopping them.

Right to Left is Jeremy, Dylan, Jen's Grandma Edna, Jen's Dad Tom and Tom's cousin Jim.

In August, Jen's grandma came to visit from Ohio. We had a busy week and one of our stops was to Mt. St. Helens. These pictures just don't do it justice. It was a bright sunny day. And there was an explosion the day we were there. It was pretty neat. We went for a little hike out along the ridge. Jeremy and my dad contemplated hiking to the top.

Dylan. He is such a cute child.

Mount Saint Helens. That is a big blast get rid of all that rock.

Celebrating Life Indeed!

Huh? I don't know what they were looking at, but it got their attention.

Pictures from camp

Jen on stage making announcements.

Relay for Life!! What can I say. It went off without too much trouble. We raised $82,000 for the American Cancer Society. This is us with the Fornelius family. Brad, Sandra, Markus and Mia joined our team this year. Brad has been cancer free for 12 years. This is our time to remember Molly (Jeremy's Mom) and be around people who are fighting cancer and remember those who have passed. Its a great overnight event.
